For fans of Clutch, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rage Against the Machine, or Soundgarden, and if ten more bands that influenced Crobot's sound were needed to be named, they easily could be.
The powerful packed punch of the vocals of lead singer Brandon Yeagley is a great one-two with the spellbinding, head bobbing guitar riffs of Chris Bishop; not to mention the stellar solidity of the low frequencies of Sam Grim on bass guitar. Bishop brings his unique style of art to the table to add images to the stories unveiled by lyricist and frontman Brandon Yeagley. The two also plan on creating a graphic novel based on the songs from the album, set for an undetermined future release.
Crobot have spilled their sweat and tones on such stages as Philadelphia's Theater of Living Arts and Xfinity LIVE, The Paramount in Huntington, NJ, the Stanhope House in Stanhope, New Jersey, and Anchorage, Alaska's Chilkoot Charlie's and plan on embarking on a tour not limited to the venues listed previously.
Crobot is:
Brandon Yeagley - Vocals, Harp
Chris Bishop - Guitar, Vocals
Sam Grim - Bass
Tony Kobel - Percussion
Nowhere To Hide
Crobot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get your spirit ready to crossover
You won't hide for long behind the dungeon walls
There's no escaping after the hammer falls
Hands to the sky 'cause it's tumbling down
Cracking a smile as it hits the ground
Justice attached to a rope
There ain't nowhere to hide on the frontline
Speechless and all choked up
Justice attached to a rope
There ain't nowhere to hide on the frontline
The gallows' swingin' to a dead man's song
Sounds of flaming arrows, a rhythm so strong
Knights are saddled; send the prison hounds
It's a war of the worlds until he's found
Hands to the sky 'cause it's tumbling down
Cracking a smile as it hits the ground
Speechless and all choked up
Justice attached to a rope
There ain't nowhere to hide on the frontline
Speechless and all choked up
Justice attached to a rope
There ain't nowhere to hide on the frontline
Hands to the sky 'cause it's tumbling down
Cracking a smile as it hits the ground
Speechless and all choked up
Justice attached to a rope
There ain't nowhere to hide on the frontline
Speechless and all choked up
Justice attached to a rope
There ain't nowhere to hide on the frontline
The lyrics to Crobot's song "Nowhere To Hide" speak of the inevitability of consequences catching up to someone who has acted unjustly. The first verse refers to the hangman, symbolizing a punishment that is final and lethal. The lines "You won't hide for long behind the dungeon walls, There's no escaping after the hammer falls" indicate that the person who has committed a wrongdoing will be held accountable eventually. This idea is further driven home in the chorus, where the lyrics "Speechless and all choked up, Justice attached to a rope" suggest that the person who has been caught has no defense and must face the consequences of their actions.
The second verse introduces a more war-like imagery, perhaps indicating that the wrongdoing committed was against a larger group of people, rather than an individual. The line "Knights are saddled; send the prison hounds" suggests that those who have been wronged are mobilizing to seek justice. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the point that the person who has committed the wrongdoing will have nowhere to hide once they are caught.
The lyrics of "Nowhere To Hide" are a commentary on the consequences of actions and the idea that injustice will always be punished eventually. The use of vivid imagery adds to the ominous tone of the song, and the repetition of the chorus drives home the message of inevitability.

Dude hits so many vocal ranges. One song he sounds like John Bush, this one Cornell meets Miles Miles Kennedy, my point is great Rock vocals. Love this group and i just discovered them.

Listen people, I just listened to these guys open for Anthrax and Motorhead and I can tell you they were absolutely amazing live. They put so much energy into their performance, you even had the singer riding on top of another's shoulders during a performance and everything. I heard this song before, but at that show I became a true fan well done.

I was there. They went on the Motorhead Cruise the next day

This whole EP is fantastic. Hearing these riffs in studio quality is enough to make anyone's balls implode.

I saw this band perform last night at the Paramount in Huntington as a warm-up band for Chevelle. Let me just say that this band not only sounded amazing, but they also exhibited mesmerizing energy when performing live! It is evident that the members of this band exhibit a pronounced dynamic! The singers voice is alluring and his presence is astounding! The man can definitely sing! The bassist was impeccable! The guitarist added an extra element of rock to the stage and was able to really tear it up! He's using the same guitar in the music video that I saw him use last night! The drummer was also amazing and very precise! They're apparently from Central Pennsylvania and it was my first time ever seeing them perform, but I know it will not be my last. I really appreciated this bands performance! Outstanding and captivating!

Man, I can't get enough of this stuff.
Listening to Crobot makes me want to ride a dirt bike, go hunting, and grow a beard (too bad I can't). Love this band and their sound.
Kevin Santoro
These guys kill it live.

You guys sound like a 70s band whose records were always being played by a dj who refused to throw them out. GOOD STUFF!!
