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.
Powered by a dirty punk rock ethos, synth hooks and programmed dance beats, Team
Robespierre has helped resurrect a Brooklyn punk scene that has been waiting to
embrace the raw energy of our nation's basements and late night warehouse dance
parties. With a sound that melds the future and the past, the Team brings back
memories of 80s new wave and 90s hardcore, and after IMPOSE owner Derek Evers saw
them play a show in the spring of 2007, he ended up so drenched in beer and human
sweat that he had to sign these guys – making "Everything's Perfect" the first official fulllength
for both the band and the label.
