Crobot have announced their new EP Rat Child, due for release on 18th June 2021 via Mascot Records. The EP has guest appearances from Anthrax‘s Frank Bello, Light The Torch/Killswitch Engage‘s Howard Jones, and Steel Panther‘s Stix Zadina.
In light of the announcement, Crobot have released a video for their new single Kiss It Goodbye, which features Howard Jones.
“Kiss It Goodbye is a complete full-circle moment for us,” says vocalist Brandon Yeagley. “We’ve idolised Howard Jones’ ability to pinpoint the perfect melody since picking up our instruments and that dude is on beast mode here. And those guitars sound like they’re right out of an Alien flick – This one is soaked in acidy-spit! Howard was introduced to us through mutual friends. We have always been huge fans of his melodic footprint and his unique melodies. When we heard he would be interested in writing with us, we were beyond excited. He flew down to Austin and spent a few days in a studio with us. We had a such great chemistry with him and wrote this song. We thought it was a shoe-in for being a track on Motherbrain but for whatever reason, it didn’t make the cut. It seemed like such a travesty to let such a great song sit on the shelf. So, we’re pumped to let the world hear it now.”
“Had a great time writing Kiss It Goodbye with Crobot!” adds Howard. “Their sound and energy is infectious, and there was no way I was passing up working with them. I hope you all dig it!”
