On occasion, they define their music as “Poverty Rock”, because their recordings are such low quality due to a lack of funds. They are hoping to find a better recording technique and equipment to use for their next album.

Although they have only been together for a year, they have had numerous performances at locations across Cleveland. Most recently, Robotrip performed at the Grog Shop located in Cleveland Heights on Feb. 4th. Others include The Fantasy in Lakewood, The Blank Slate in Elyria, and a few basement shows.
