Here's an illustration of just how much these guys sound like Spoon. You know those Pontiac ads that inexplicably urge you to "Google 'Pontiac'" at the end? This song is the song that plays under those ads. My wife, well familiar with the Robbers' record, was shocked when I pointed that out, because she was so sure the ad used a Spoon song. For the record, Spoon has music in no commercials, or at least no commercials that I've encountered, but maybe it's telling that these guys managed to successfully commodify the sound before Spoon did.

Sep 12, 2007 - Spoon is one of my favorite bands. They actually are featured in a commercial. It's the Jaguar commercial but I can't find it on youtube anymore.

Oct 6, 2008 - i'm kind of a ridiculous spoon fan... i don't really hear the similarity to be honest. maybe it's just because i know spoon so well... oh well. ROHS are becoming one of my faves, spoon-like or not.

Dec 13, 2006 - robbers on high street deserves more fame. they're awesome, and very few people know of them. its amazing how people like jessica simpson and avril can make it off of fake talent, when these guys are amazing, and yet they're not in the top lists.
