REVIEW: MY TINY ROBOTS – GUILD OF DEFIANTS
One of the things that so often hurts an up and coming band is trying to do far too much with far too little. Grand ideas and rampant experimentalism are admirable but so very difficult to pull off with a degree of conviction. Edinburgh’s self-described ‘odd pop’ outfit My Tiny Robots are certainly not a band that this would apply to. This is a band who stick to simple jangly guitar and synth driven pop and do it very well. Single ‘Guild Of Defiants’ calls to mind early Elvis Costello and a little Josef K-esque post punk swagger with a chorus that’s primed to get in your head and stay there for hours.
