Formed in Brooklyn during the winter of 2005, the members of Team Robespierre were initially connected by their roots - having all grew up in similar punk rock scenes in New York, Denver, Minnesota, Texas, Poland and Jersey, playing in bands like Thulsa Doom, Morning Glory and Hipster Bloodbath. But as Rex, Tom, Ty, Mike and Jim got older their record collections expanded to include noise, indie, electro and new wave among other genres. All and none of these genres can be heard in their recordings or live shows. But what comes across most when seeing these guys is their raw energy and unwillingness to separate themselves from the crowd. With asound that melds the future and the past, the Team brings back memories of 80s new wave and 90s hardcore, with the ability to share stages with bands as diverse as Dan Deacon, Japanther, An Albatross, Leftover Crack, Parts And Labor, Best Fwends, USA Is A Monster, Japanther and Kylesa. Having already embarked on 3 tours in 2007, and recently enlisting a live drummer to add another layer to their complex electro-punk arrangements, the Team felt the timing was right to record an album's worth of material. With the help of Colin Marston (Orthrelm, Ghengis Tron, Stay Fucked), Team Robespierre spent most of their summer recording an album and playing dance parties.
