ROBBERS - Demos & Flesh EP
Robbers are from Long Island, NY. They play some haunting indie rock. Frontman/guitarist and songwriter Andrew Accardi is the younger brother of Brand New guitarist Vincent Accardi. For 20 years old, Andrew is kicking out some amazing music. I'm personal friends with these guys and they change the vibe in the room when they play. I put together their early demos that were tracked in the Accardi's basement and their latest Flesh EP, which was tracked and mixed by Mike Sapone[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Sapone[url]. I like the demos better just because they're much more grimey. They roll with that Sons Modern crew that includes Happy Body Slow Brain, Glassjaw, Sainthood Reps. Enjoy!

"Circles"

20 seconds into that song and I decided to download.

Brotha needs to sleep. But here we go.
This post is mainly due to the fact that I got one of these albums in the mail the other day, and it's the first repress since the original, in 2005. And that Patrick wanted another listen to Upstairs/Downstairs.
Also due to the fact that this band is one of the greatest punk bands in history (at least I think so), and they were around for a criminally short time. They played what would stereotypically be called pop-punk, but with bits of jazz, 60s pop, 80s hardcore, and new wave. But if that sounds too damn pretentious for you, it's pop-punk songs about girls.
Ladies and Gentleman, The Ergs!. Not in full discographal form, but in essential 12" form.
dorkrockcorkrod (2005)
This was their first full length album, and is probably one of their single best releases.

Jersey's Best Prancers (2006)
A 12" EP that came out between albums. And yes, you guessed right if you thought "man, are they totally ripping off the cover of Lifetime's "Jersey's Best Dancers"?"

Upstairs/Downstairs (2007)
This was the band's second and final full-length album. A lot of people don't like this one as much as dorkrock, but a lot of people are wrong, too. There are some absolutely outstanding tracks on here, "Girls of the Market Square" being my personal favorite.

That's It... Bye (2009)
The band's final release, a three song EP. Came out as a 12" on Don Giovanni, right after two split 7"s on No Idea with The Measure [SA], who just called it quits this week.

Pretty much anything else they put out can be found either on the "Hindsight Is 20/20, My Friend" comp, or the "Ben Kweller" and "Thrash Compactor" EPs.
The Ergs! are still around, in one form or another. After calling it quits at the end of 2008, they went on to play in many other northeastern punk bands, including Night Birds, The Dopamines, House Boat, The Measure [SA], Psyched To Die, Iron Chic, and Used Kids, amongst others. They also played two benefit shows at the beginning of December 2010 for a friend who was battling cancer, but a full reunion hasn't really been discussed or anything.
