Explosive UK grunge-rock act Maximum Robot is proud to announce their official signing with Epictronic Records. This powerhouse partnership sets the stage for the release of their highly anticipated fourth studio album, "Away With The Fairies", set on 15 May 2026.

Maximum Robot is a grunge band from Andover, England, was founded by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Gazza Williams. After decades of effort, drummer Vyara Petkova joined in 2019, followed by bassist Dave Hull, forming the original lineup—but they never performed live together. Pandemic disruptions and lineup changes followed, with Williams and Hull finally playing their first gigs in Autumn 2024. In 2025, work began on their fourth album, and Jack Chapman replaced Hull on bass, bringing a heavier, rawer sound. The current duo, Chapman and Williams, upholds the band’s motto: “Music Never Dies.”

The album’s lyrical content covers themes such as daydreaming and being detached for reality. The title “Away With The Fairies” basically means you are in a world of your own, or not connected to reality or the world around you. This theme runs through the whole album. Fairies come from Celtic mythology, and this features heavily in the band's artwork. They define their sound as grunge but with influences from punk rock and metal of various sub-genres. Their sound on this album is based on four people. The drummer, the bass player, the guitarist/vocalist, and the engineer who recorded, mixed, and mastered the songs. Each person has their own influences and style, so you get a totally unique sound that sounds like no other band.
If you take Nirvana, NOFX, and Dream Theater, and try to mash them together with an English accent, you might get something like Maximum Robot! While they take inspiration and influence from other bands, they also aim to and hope to create something new and inspire the next generation. They are really happy with this album and feel that it does demonstrate that nothing sounds like Maximum Robot.

"We were delighted to sign with Epictronic," said Maximum Robot. "They have an obvious passion for music and totally get what we’re trying to do. It’s also fantastic to have somebody to help promote our music so we don’t have to do everything on our own. With this album, we feel Epictronic is the perfect partner for the release."
