Crobot release new music video for ‘Kiss It Goodbye’

CROBOT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Kiss It Goodbye, is taken from the band’s upcoming new EP, Rat Child, which is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Mascot Records. The new song features a guest appearance from LIGHT THE TORCH vocalist Howard Jones.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Brandon Yeagley shares, Kiss It Goodbye is a complete full-circle moment for us. We’ve idolized 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.”

Howard Jones adds, “[I] had a great time writing Kiss It Goodbye with CROBOT! Their sound and energy is infectious, and there was no way I was passing up working with them. I hope you all dig it!”

The upcoming new EP is the band’s first new material since the release of 2019’s Motherbrain. The EP features a mighty cast of guest appearances including Frank Bello [ANTHRAX], Howard Jones [LIGHT THE TORCH], and Stix Zadina [STEEL PANTHER].

Speaking about the EP, the band adds, “these Motherbrain leftovers (and new tunes alike), will satiate your tastebuds for some new CROBOT riffage. We had the unique opportunity to collaborate with Frankie Bello [ANTHRAX], Howard Jones [LIGHT THE TORCH], & Stix Zadina [STEEL PANTHER], with whom we not only value friendship but idolize as well. Whether it’s gritty grooves, ballistic riffs, or that good ol’ CROBOT sound you’re yearning for to getcha through, we’ve got just frequencies for ya! Say hello to our lil’ friends..”
