Galactic Crab... What is it? Why is it here? What does it want? Find out yourself by listening to the first original song from Fightin' Bob in over a year. Written, recorded, and released all whilst separated by a maximum of 4,000 miles, this track represents a triumphant return to the prog scene!
lyrics
Flyin’ through, outer space,
Losing track, of the days (he)
Used to know, touch and go,
Way far out, cosmic
Galactic maps, sapped synapse,
Hazy sight, he’s faded
Searching, greater truth,
All he sees, mysterious goo
He left it all, all behind,
Behind himself, wait what’s that?
Does he see, his maker?
Will he meet, his fate?
It’s no deity,
Is it from the sea?
Listen when it speaks,
I am not worthy
Bigger than our moon,
Surely this means doom,
Exoskeleton,
I can’t hide or run
Wait it sees me, no,
I should really go,
Piercing silent glare,
Pincers clicking there
Floating around, a red crustacean out in space is not what, you thought you would see, huh?
Hey now slow down, where are you going so fast that you can’t stop and hang with me?
It’s getting kind of lonely, if you’d only spend a minute or two,
I hope I’m not coming across too strongly or too rude
This must be a trap,
Surely he’ll backstab,
Me if I oblige,
Or I scrutinize
He’s thousands of times,
Smarter than my mind,
I should disengage,
Save what’s left of face
Please let me go free (to),
Travel at light speed,
Away from this void (I),
Foolishly enjoyed
Fine if you don’t want to be my friend,
How many times must I teach humans?
I’ll destroy Earth unless you make amends!
Space crabs are large, and we humans are small
Through newfound alliances, mending our wrongs,
Balance is brought by the winged man up high,
So gaze at the stars in the murky black sky

The Australian instrumental band juxtapose classical pianos and ambient swells with uncompromising, proggy post-metal. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 9, 2023
Gnarly punk rock from the Philadelphia duo is unhinged in the best way, an in-the-red sonic assault a la Motorhead/Stooges. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2024
“Dirt” is the imaginative group’s most streamlined effort to date, although no less captivating and sonically adventurous than the rest of their catalog. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 30, 2018
