Erin Digs It: Robbers on High Street - You Don't Stand a Chance

Posted about 1 year ago

There's a lot of hunger in New York right now. Figurative, literal, you name it. It can be a little tense around here. The (near) perfect elixer? Rock and roll, kids, Rock And Roll.

The Robbers on High Street sound a bit like a Brit-rockish Spoon resilient to Brooklyn's tribulations with intentionally ironic cut-loose melodies.They have my vote for being this year's Voice of Brooklyn. The androgyny, the confusion, the reservations--all served up in a deliciously deceiving bright, shiny indie rock package. Love it!

They are an impressively complex band with more to offer than only that, of course, but this tune certainly strikes a chord with the times.

If we can't have steak dinners every night, grooving with the empathetic Robbers on High Street is almost as filling.

Therefore, song #4 in the Erin Digs It series is:

Robbers on High Street - You Don't Stand a Chance

    I would love to hear this, can you UL the song yourself because I (and many others) refuse to pay to play.

    You know, I tried that. I bought the song from itunes (as the group kindly suggested on their website), and it downloaded as an mpeg, and ol' Mog apparently doesn't support that file type. MP3 or bust, they say.

    That Rhapsody thing is good for 25 free songs a month. After that is when they start asking for some dough.

    iTunes are a bunch of Butt Covering bastards, I love them/I hate them.

    Rhapsody won't let my mogger friends from outside the US borders listen in so there for I won't abide, even for free.

    I'll search these guys down and have a listen somewhere else, thanks for the tip!
