And None of Them Knew They Were Robots (stylized as ...And None of Them Knew They Were Robots and also known as the Robots) [1] [2] were an English hardcore punk band from Leeds formed in 2000. In 2001, Francis, Hall and Dobbins began playing in crossover thrash band Send More Paramedics. [3] [4]
The band was formed in 2000 [5] by former members of pre-existing Leeds punk rock bands. [6] In 2001, they released their debut self-titled album through Pigdog Records. [1] In 2002, they released their second album, titled Liebestod, which saw a departure from their prior sound into regular hardcore punk, because of this, members and fans sometimes refer to it as the "Hardcore EP". [6] In 2003, they released the EP Victory as a Drug through Jealous Records, which saw them return to their sound prior to Liebestod. [7] On 1 August 2003, they played Out Of Spite Festival at Josephs Well. [8] For the rest of August, they toured the U.K. for their final headline tour prior their breakup. [9] For Out of Spite festival 2007, they reformed a single performance. [10] In 2016, they reformed for the release of their discography compilation and a U.K. headline tour. [11] [12]
The band have been categorised as emo [13] [14] [15] post-hardcore [16] [17] and indie rock. [18] Their 2002 album Liebestod showed a style closer to that of '80s Washington D.C. hardcore punk. [13] Their music was influenced by Sunny Day Real Estate, Planes Mistaken for Stars, [6] Cave In, Braid, [11] Fugazi, Hot Water Music, Small Brown Bike, Les Savy Fav and At The Drive-In. [19] In an article for Brainwashed, Graeme Rowland described them as " Rites of Spring mixed up with a more melodic Drive Like Jehu parts". [9] They have influenced the sounds of ¡Forward, Russia!, This Et Al, The Lucida Console, [19] Crash of Rhinos [20] and Box Social. [21]
