Formed in the fall of 2013, Robots And Monsters came together around three lifelong friends -- brothers Derek and Dylan Gadino and Bill Bergmann. Shortly after recording their debut album DOWN TO ASH as a trio, Kevin Powers (who toured with bands like Mucky Pup and Bloodhound Gang) joined as the band's permanent drummer so Dylan can concentrate on vocals for live shows. Bergmann and Powers became friends when Bergmann was enlisted to play bass for Mucky Pup on a handful of European and national tours.

Though the band is influenced by the music they grew up on -- think Anthrax, Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Alice in Chains, and Rush -- Robots And Monsters owns a sound that deftly combines the sheer power of Metal with the punch and emotion of hardcore and post-hardcore.

The results have found Robots And Monsters comfortably sharing bills populated with any type of aggressive music.

In the summer of 2015, their album DOWN TO ASH debuted at #23 on the CMJ Loud Rock chart where they were the only unsigned band on the list. Robots And Monsters was also featured on VH1's That Metal Show as a "Pick of the Week" (Watch Here) and became one of the 10 most requested acts on WSOU 89.5, Seton Hall's Pirate Radio, the nation's most popular non-commercial Metal station. They were also the featured 'Metal' artist on New Jersey's WRAT.

The band's latest release, NOTHING TO FEAR NOTHING TO FIGHT was released in 2016. The first single "King of the World" landed in the number #2 spot on WSOU.

The band has had the opportunity to share the stage with acts like D.R.I., Karma to Burn, Anvil and others.
