Music: “Rats”: We’re Not Scared Of Robots Bring Lanarkshire Fury to Life

We’re Not Scared Of Robots are a Lanarkshire-based rock band formed in 2023, delivering unapologetically high-octane performances that channel Scotland’s proud legacy of raw, working-class rock energy. Led by Adam (guitar, vocals) with Spanky on bass, Gaz on drums and vocals, and Gfrsh on lead guitar, the four-piece fuse punk ferocity with melodic intensity, creating music that’s both rebellious and heartfelt.

Drawing from a wide palette of influences — from Foo Fighters and The Undertones to System of a Down, Green Day, and Deftones — the band craft a sound that blends the grit of alternative rock with the urgency of modern punk. Their songs embody the pulse of small-town frustration, humor, and hope — the sound of a band that wears their roots and their riffs proudly.

Already championed by Amazing Radio, Hard Rock Hell Radio, Belter FM, Forest FM, and more, We’re Not Scared Of Robots are fast becoming one of Scotland’s most exciting underground exports. As Hard Rock Hell Radio’s Mighty Northern Viking put it: “We’re Not Scared Of Robots — and thank goodness for that.”

“Rats” is a snarling, anthemic release that captures the spirit of defiance at the heart of We’re Not Scared Of Robots. Fueled by propulsive drums, snarling guitars, and a vocal delivery dripping with attitude, the track channels the tension between chaos and control — an anthem for anyone fighting to stay grounded in a world that feels overrun.

Equal parts political and personal, “Rats” thrives on catharsis — turning frustration into power, and noise into purpose. It’s a song that hits hard, sticks fast, and proves We’re Not Scared Of Robots are a force ready to rise from Scotland’s underground with teeth bared and hearts on fire.
