Tyler Pollard joins us from the electrifying Boston-based trio Robotic Hawks, a band that may have been flying just under your radar — until now. Fresh off the release of their latest EP, New, Better Things, Tyler takes us on a deep dive into the band’s journey: from their early days cutting their teeth in local clubs to collaborating with studio heavyweights Benny Grotto and Paul Q. Kolderie — two producers I’ve long admired.

With their signature blend of pub rock punch and garage-pop hooks, Robotic Hawks are crafting a sound that's raw, infectious, and unmistakably their own. We also talk about their inspired cover of the Crowded House deep cut “Something So Strong” — which naturally gave me a reason to shout out Split Enz, a favorite from my college radio days.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just discovering Robotic Hawks, this episode is your backstage pass to the energy, chemistry, and no-nonsense grit that powers their music.
