Robber Robber Release 'Two Wheels Move the Soul' !
Robber Robber — the undefinable Burlington quartet of Nina Cates (vocals/guitar), Zack James (percussion), Will Krulak (guitar), and Carney Hemler (bass) — release their new album, Two Wheels Move the Soul, today via Fire Talk Records. Earlier this week, Robber Robber presented Two Wheels Move the Soul’s final advance single/video, “New Year’s Eve.” Two Wheels Move the Soul spans post-punk scorchers, burnt-out slacker anthems, and melodies to sweeten the bitter pills swallowed along the way. “Yes I know, gotta work for my pay,” Cates exhales on standout “New Year’s Eve,” a swaggering depiction of life’s myriad impediments. “I’m tired, so is everyone - how can I complain?”
“Some of our songs start out as the four of us jamming together and this one was like that,” Cates says of “New Year’s Eve.” Accompanied alongside a time-travelling video by Noah Lenker, the “New Year’s Eve” video distills Robber Robber’s acid-soaked tongue-in-cheek take on warped rock.
Following a trail of singles praised by New York Times, Pitchfork, Stereogum and more, Two Wheels Move the Soul arrives ahead of Robber Robber’s North American headline tour. Throughout March, the quartet will perform a slew of performances, including stops in New York City, Chicago, Washington DC and more. In addition, Robber Robber will play a special hometown album release show at BCA Studios in Burlington, Vermont. A full list of tour dates are below, and tickets are on sale now.

Two Wheels Move the Soulcollects a series of pressurized vignettes to assemble Robber Robber’s thrillingly explosive sophomore album. Two Wheels Move the Soul was written and recorded throughout the winter of 2024 and 2025, a season of Robber Robber ringleader Nina Cates’ life characterized by near-constant upheaval. In January of 2025, Cates (and Robber Robber co-founder) Zack James were displaced from their longtime home at the behest of a landlord’s call to have their building demolished. The personal and economic chaos of living at the mercy of nameless powers-that-be redirected into a hyperfocused attention on Two Wheels Move the Soul, which spans post-punk scorchers, burnt-out slacker anthems, and melodies that sweeten the bitter pills stomached along the way.
Two Wheels Move the Soul is available for pre-order on Bullseye Blue Vinyl, CD, exclusive merch bundles & more, shipping on or after April 2025.
