CROBOT Premieres New Song "Welcome To Fat City", Audio Available

Crobot has unveiled the latest song off their new record, "Welcome To Fat City". “The title track from our latest album sets precedent for the groove-laden riffage that takes place throughout,” frontman Brandon Yeagley explained to Consequence Of Sound. “Inspired by Hunter S. Thompson’s campaign for Sheriff of Aspen, Fat City is a planet of sanctuary for the scum of the universe and cigar-smoking big wigs Hunter hoped to keep out of his fine city. Instead, we welcome them with open arms ’cause down here, it’s always gritty. Step right up Beardos and Welcome To Fat City!”

Due for release September 23rd via Wind-up Records, the album, Welcome To Fat City is the band's second studio release, and the highly anticipated followup to Something Supernatural which saw the Pennsylvania based four-piece dominate the US and European live scene, landing them tours with the likes of Motorhead, Volbeat, Anthrax, Clutch, Black Label Society, Chevelle, and more.

Welcome To Fat City was recorded with producer, Machine (Clutch, Lamb Of God, Every Time I Die), and mixed by engineer Alan Moulder (Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, Them Crooked Vultures, Led Zeppelin), Welcome To Fat City is due for release September 23 via Wind-up Records.

Previously, Crobot released a lyric video for “Not For Sale”, another track from their upcoming album, Welcome To Fat City. From start to finish, and in true Crobot fashion, this ripper doesn't stop twisting and turning like a hard rock tidal wave. It gives you just enough time to come up for air, only to get pummelled back into the groovy undertow. Watch below:
