Hello and welcome to Smash Robots on myspace. Thanks for stopping by and checking us out! If you like what you hear then do add us as a friend and feel free to use our music on your own myspace page.
The summer has officially landed here in "Blighty" with Wimbledon, Pimms, strawberrys and cream and of course Glastonbury Festival firing us up into a frenzy. The nights have grown longer, the BBQ is now in regular use and best of all our un-heated disused firing range rehearsal room is actually warm enough to jam in without fear of losing a finger to frostbite!
Our big news this month is the completion of our first professionally mastered track "When Planets Collide". As a self-funded band its a real challenge to achieve the professional recording quality of big-label backed bands like the Killers, Fratelli's or (insert your favourite band here!) however that's exactly what we set out to do with "When Planets Collide".
Recorded in Reading at the White House Studios and mastered in London's Metropolis by the legend that is John Davis (Arctic Monkeys, The Enemy, U2) the result is a radio ready pro-quality tune, just in time for your summer playlist! We are really excited to be able to offer YOU the opportunity to download it for free well in advance of it hitting itunes. Just click on the widget on our page or visit our website www.smashrobots.com to get it.
Please do send us a message and let us know your thoughts! ROCK!
Thanks for your friendship, we're really enjoying your music and can't quite understand why you don't have a record deal... Great band name too! :) Ah well.
Hope you have an awesome weekend, keep rockin' and good luck with all ~
