Dirt Poor Robins

With lyrics like “in the dark of the hunt the veil remains”, “I dare you to love me”, and “there is no music without tension on the neck”, you should know that you’ll be hearing something different. Dirt Poor Robins’ debut album The Cage will take you on a journey through love, pain, loneliness, and beauty. Accompanying their bold lyrics are musical arrangements that merge from hard rock, to classical strings, to sympathetic ballads. “Our album is a concept piece that revolves around a carnival sideshow,” Kate Robins says, “but the people in it aren’t freaks of nature. They’re normal people like you and me, but what’s being exploited is their defense mechanisms against pain and loneliness.” “I’m really excited about the way the album has turned out, because I think we’ve gone to a place that’s musically different, yet at the same time we find the music resonating with all types of people,” Neil Robins says. “As an artist, there’s not much that makes me happier than that.”
