There Will Be Robots

There Will Be Robots is a London-based duo crafting cinematic, emotionally charged soundscapes for a world caught between analogue nostalgia and digital dystopia. Formed from the ashes of the Sixto Rodriguez band (The Conversations), their music fuses post-rock grit with synth-laced shoegaze atmospherics. Imagine a psychedelic jam in a Tarantino-lit bunker—volatile, textured, and unapologetically raw. Frontman Ed Coonagh delivers poetic, prophetic lyrics exploring identity, surveillance, and rebellion. His guitar work blends jagged riffs with ambient layers, anchoring the band’s sound in a space that feels both timeless and emotionally immediate. At the heart of the rhythm is Vesa, a Finnish-born percussionist whose drumming is equal parts feel, precision and primal energy. Whether it’s thunderous breakdowns or syncopated pulses, Vesa drives the band’s sonic engine with a relentless creativity and an unpredictable edge—always human, always evolving. There Will Be Robots doesn’t just play music—they transmit it. Loud. Defiant. Wired for the future Members Ed Coonagh - Vocals / Guitar Vesa Haapanen - Drums / Percussion
