Rob Bank$ is a 5’3 white rapper from suburban Philadelphia who uses his sharp wit and command of the English language to bring insight on hip-hop culture & life in 21st century America, as well as humor, to his raps.
Having spent the last 10 years of his life in rock bands, Rob Bank$ has
come to use this experience to perfect his songwriting skills. This training has also given him the ability to add guitar & bass tracks to many songs
on his current EP The ALIBI.
He would include Beastie Boys, Kool Keith, GZA, and Beck on his list of top Hip-Hop influences.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alongside Rob Bank$ stands DJ. Dr. Device. The 6’4 purple-haired minion of Beats & Bass looks like something you might find lurking in the dark corners of a Goth nightclub. Even though they appear to come from different planets, their backgrounds are quite similar.
Also having been schooled in Rock, Blues, and Jazz, as well as Techno, Industrial, and, of course, Hip-Hop music, Device brings an extremely high level of musicianship to the team.
DJ. Dr. Device also adds Guitar and Bass to cuts on The ALIBI, as well as choice raps to the CD and live show.

Thanks to Ashley Pearl for the killer photographs. I’d list which ones they are, but it’s easier (and 100% true) to say that all the good ones are hers. :P
Rob Bank$ we were recently featured on the ABC network and we are trying to promote our first full length album self titled EVRO. Check out the video and leave a comment to tell us what you think. Just warning you that the sound on the video isn’t the greatest quality but you can listen to the same songs on our MySpace page. Tell others! Thank you and have a blessed day!

Two and a half years. The first edition book is done. 279 pages (first two don't count), lots of black and white illustration. Oh yeah, also, lots of words. About 100,000 of them.
It looks like it's going to take a couple weeks for Booksurge to place Fallen Nation through online retailers (Amazon, Waldenbooks, B&N, etc) so I'm making the exact same book available through lulu temporarily. I've ordered copies through them for the first round promotion and reviews, they look great.
Alright, it's not the exact same book: the spine is simpler on the lulu version than the version that will be available through the larger online outlets later. (In store distribution has to wait for the 2nd edition.)
So if that doesn't bother you, and you've been wanting to pick up a copy right now, enjoy. The basic "what's this book?" song and dance is there as well.
Yo Yo braah, Allison can the the tee-shirt that she wanted on our site. Forbon put the design in place for her request. There are two different styles to choose from. Sorry I was a slacker.
