Girls are Robots is an electro rock band from Los Angeles, California that formed in late 2008. They consist of Dan Apke (vocals, guitar, bass, synths, samples), and Kyle Gibson (vocals, synth, samples), and for live performances are accompanied by Brian Sumwalt (Drums) and Aaron Cohen (guitar).
On July 16, 2009 Girls are Robots' self-released debut EP, "Thirst While Drowning", will be released. The band manages to create a dance club type energy without using mindless banter and monotonous "4 on the floor" loops that have become tiresome and expected in dance music today. What sets Girls are Robots apart are the layers found in the dance beats and the lingering emotion found in the lyrics. The band's debut EP provides testament to how Girls are Robots can be equally a rock band as they are dance-beat architects. They are not afraid to mix styles or overstep musical boundaries.
The band is often compared to The Faint, Depeche Mode, and Does it Offend You, Yeah? The band also admits influences ranging from Nine Inch Nails to Muse and Mute Math.
