The first RTR demos were recorded on a $10 hand recorder, and, out of curiousity to see how well the songs would do, were posted on a small, unknown MySpace music profile. Slowly, people began to take notice, and soon the profile began to fill with plays and friend requests. Inspired, Jon began to write even more songs, and soon enough found himself in the recording studio, laying down tracks for what would soon become Reboot The Robot's debut EP "Nothing, Something, Everything".
Many studio hours and a few hundred bucks later, "Nothing, Something, Everything" was released to online retailers on July 14th, 2009, to overwhelmingly positive reviews and praise. Fans reacted well to the album, and soon there was demand for another EP release. Digging through older, unfinished songs as well as new ones, the framework was laid for what would become Reboot The Robot's sophomore effort, "When All We Have".
Recorded at Blind Dog Audio in Longmont, CO, and produced by Kevin King, "When All We Have" has become a hit among fans since its release on December 1st, 2009. The EP spawned many new fan-favorite tracks, including "Deception Is What The World Calls Romance" and "Not Giving In". As an added bonus, fans that purchase "When All We Have" on RTRmusic.com will also receive 2 free Reboot The Robot Buttons, as well a free signing of the EP.
Currently, Reboot The Robot is taking off time from writing new music to focus on an untitled covers album. This new covers album has a tenative release for summer 2010. A full band debut is targeted for a late fall/winter 2010 release.
What You Do to Me
Reboot The Robot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you do to me (x2)
And I wont back down now
Four years has been long enough
To Wait
And I've got you now,
So this has just got to be fate.
You, oh you, you know what you do
What you do to me (x2)
And I'm just so ready
I just want to take you
Into my arms.
And I've been waiting
So please don't make me wait
Another day.
You're what I've wanted.
I've been waiting here for forever
But I won't wait here all that long
And I would never say never
If you would up and come along
