This week’s podcast features Mike Ross from gigcity.ca talking about the Death By Robot song ‘American’t’.

Mike Ross was a professional musician who toured the continent during most of the '80s with various ridiculously-named bands that went nowhere. He has covered the local and international entertainment scene for some time and dives into the album ‘The Limbic System’ from 2014 as found on capitalcityrecords.ca

Death By Robot delivers an Electro-Rock-SciFi sound seldom duplicated, with a focus on stimulating imagery and exhilarating live performances. They continue to propel themselves to new unexplored heights-a band inspired by the unknown, both here, and out there.

Have a listen and see how Mike describes the song and what he thinks it does to your ears…
