“Tightropes And Tragedies” is the awesome new single from We’re Not Scared Of Robots. It is their fourth single of 2026 and it bodes well for their first album currently planned for 2027. They are a four-piece powerhouse of a band with an abundance of attitude from Lanarkshire, Scotland. They are known as Ad (Vocals and rhythm guitar), Gordie (Lead Guitar), Spanky (Bass and backing vocals) and Gaz (Drums and backing vocals). The new song is a magnificent example of 21st Century punk from a clearly talented band. It builds from a a relatively slow start into a riff and bass driven power anthem. The vocal hooks fly over a swell of riffs like a surfer gliding perfectly through a surf barrel. I also think they have the best band name I have heard for a while. Now I need to see them live.
Apparently BBC Introducing has listened to the track, but have not played it! Well BBC, I have listened to it, reviewed it and I will be playing it on my show on Jorvik Radio next weekend because it is so fucking good! My show, the Mixtape, currently airs at 8pm on Sundays, “Tightropes And Tragedies” is scheduled for Sunday 22nd November!
