As you can see, this is shaping up to be an insanely busy year for us, but we are very excited about all of the bands we are working with, both new and already established. We've embraced the usage of MP3s to help spread the word about our bands' since the format's inception, and figured this was a great and easy way to let everyone hear what Robotic Empire has planned for 2006. Thank you, and enjoy!
