  "Golden Robot Army have learned the secret of good pop music: solid, hook-laden, song writing comes before splashy production and the pride of intricate soloing. And Golden Robot Army are good pop music. The music is accessible, you can listen to the harmonies here all day. These songs practically sparkle and crackle and there's an indefatigable positivity on this recording. Even when the band is singing about murder/revenge ("Drink Up, Sweetheart") or local street eccentrics (Pedro The Fry Apartments Guy on "DLAMWIYAY") the songs remain upbeat, even hopeful. This makes you want to walk around singing them even more. But that's the point of pop, to hook you."

Setlist

GRA can play a set as short as three songs, or fill up to nearly 2 hours of time, depending on requirements. Generally, we won't play more than 1-2 covers per show
Sam Cooke, Men At Work, the Bangles, Elvis Presley, Black Sabbath, and the Pogues have all gotten GRA treatment.
