What would you get if you crossed a pop-punk band with a new wave band? Ok, more specifically, if you crossed the likes of Andrew WK with Devo and The Sex Pistols and made it reek of Hollywood glam? Well, you’d get Ima Robot, of course. They are geeky guys that have a silly name and play (oftentimes) silly music, but goddamnit they can write a hit song.

Their new album Monument To The Masses will be released on September 12th. Before I heard it, I wanted to hate this album. I really truly did. But I can’t. This album is too good. The songs are fun and catchy as hell. This is not serious music. This is music that makes you wanna shake your tail feather. I know this is a ridiculous cliche, but as I was driving to work on a rainy morning earlier this week, I put on “Creeps Me Out.” My day was instantly transformed into something full of sunshine, rainbows, and robot butlers serving M&M’s and Perrier. Enjoy.
