Have you ever been so completely enraged with anger that you just wanted to dance your ass off until the break of dawn? If so, then Team Robespierre has the perfect music for you. This Brooklyn band brings the most upbeat form of angst ever delivered through music. Their unique style of electro-punk is just as fitting for the dance floor as it is for the mosh pit; a strangely perfect blend of shouting vocals, 16-bit synthesizer riffs, and pounding rhythms. “Solid Gold” is a stand-out track. It’s like a Sega Genesis soundtrack that college kids can vent through. Team Robespierre’s hooks are often reminiscent of 80’s new wave, such as the frighteningly catchy “This Feels Perfect.” “88^th Precinct” contains a breakdown that would make the heaviest hardcore band envious, and there isn’t even a guitar to be heard at that particular moment. It’s refreshingly odd how naturally Team Robespierre blends their different influences. They have a sense of pop music as well as underground, both of which somehow shine through as completely genuine. Already touring the country and getting positive reviews from numerous publications, Team Robespierre will probably be the next musical act from Brooklyn to go huge.
