Robot Assassins

about

The Robot Assassins were Justin and Gregory, who met at the UC Theater in Berkeley, and started playing music. They took a minimal approach to punk that stood out against the “lo-fi, blown out” Teengenerate/Oblivians-inspired or “punk rock n roll” Devil Dogs-influenced bands that were churning out records rapid-fire at the time (and a lot of it was great, but this was different). Songs like “Vacuum Cleaner” sounded like friends recording music for kicks. It was fun and pure, and the end result was not all that different in approach from what The Urinals did many years before. The Assassins proved to be extremely prolific, and after releasing this six-song “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” EP, recorded another 18 songs that were, at one point, intended to be a double LP on Rocknroll Blitzkrieg Records. Sadly, that record never made it to release and those demos are collecting dust in closets in the East Bay. In 2009. Sweet Rot Records will posthumously release an LP of all unreleased recordings.
