about

Within seconds of Ignition’s lacerating opening riff, you know what you’re in for. Behind Waleed Aly’s slamming guitars (RN Drive, The Project), and Jeff Wortman’s (Peanut Gallery, Triple M) vocals, a siren wails and a spoken voice warns us that desperate people do desperate things. Soon the rhythm section arrives and we’re off: the track is surging and the stakes are high.

It’s a fair introduction to ROBOT CHILD whose approach to rock is doused in flair, always making a statement. The Melbourne 5-piece build on the tradition of Queen, Pink Floyd, Faith No More and Muse to deliver something epic, bombastic, always melodic. Their debut album ONE MORE WAR heaves with variety and energy, each song bursting with layers of musical ideas. It’s an ambition that takes someone like ARIA Award winner Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect) to do it justice, and his mix makes the album sparkle.

lyrics

One place
Filled by the ghost of somebody’s mistake
One break
One rush of blood to the head’s all it takes
And the grins and the laughter grow wilder and wilder
The voices of judges get louder inside
One mind
Trapped in a cage for so long it’s erased

Soon it starts
Feel the cold
Feeling numb
Feel alone but it’s wrong, it’s wrong, they’re wrong

Show me your fire
You ignite me
Never doubt that your light goes on and on and on

These days
You look in the mirror and nothing is there
These ways
The louder you should it the less they can hear
So they cover your face with their own fantasies
And they’ve broken the locks when they give you the keys
This haze
Watch as a vision of love disappears

Soon it starts
Feel the cold
Feeling numb
Feel alone but it’s wrong, it’s wrong, they’re wrong

Show me your fire
You ignite me
Never doubt that your light goes on and on and on

Don’t look so hard
For love
Where you know it can’t be found
Lift your heart
Above
Where you know it can be
Go out and sell your show
Don’t listen to a word they say

Soon it starts
Feel the cold
Feeling numb
Feel alone but it’s wrong, it’s wrong, they’re wrong

Show me your fire
You ignite me
Never doubt that your light goes on and on and on
Show me your fire
You ignite me
Never doubt that your light goes on and on and on and on and on
