Lone comment posted on the Galvatrons website in response to their monstrous synthrock track Molotov Cocktail:

Omg, Epic.

Galvatrons - Molotov Cocktail

Galvatrons - Robots Are Cool

This is a very apt description. The Melbourne band specialises in electro-rock bangers. I imagine their live show is even more epic which you would only expect from four maverick, interstellar transformers from a future vortex where Gary Numan and Stan Bush are canonised and life is a euphoric, synthtracked montage of disco fist-pumping, 80s prom night pashes and Hollywood endings for bespectacled misfits. You can ask the world if it is true, because they've toured the world and played all over Aus - already.

See their album here. They're touring around the place at the moment (see their Myspace) and also giving away a Kramer guitar signed by them (see here). Hello, smash me.

My cred is pretty much non-existent, Anonymous. I'm not a very cool person...
