Unsigned, Songwriter, musician, singer, producer from Margate, Kent.
Here's my bio:

Rob Lloyd was a member of London punk trio Betamax for a few years.
During his time in Betamax they had many highs, being signed to HTT Records, releasing 5 singles & an E.P and playing some great gigs including supporting Graham Coxon on his UK A+E tour.
After coming to a creative block in Betamax, he decided to take some time out and concentrate on solo work. 
It was slow moving at first trying to find creative energies on his own, but after experimenting with different sounds in his home studio, he would find his creative flow and new songs started to emerge.
Soon after, the first solo release was ready and in 2013 he would release "She's in Love".
After a few reviews, some local airplay and "She's in Love" reaching number 4 in the MRU Music Charts, things started to progress.
Not long after this U.S label Oreya Records approached with the offer of a handshake publishing deal. In September 11th 2013 they released "My Friend & Me" as a general single release.
In July 22nd 2014, Oreya Records released "Two Axons" which would be the first official album under the name BetaRob.
The album was well received making it in to the ITunes official album chart peaking at number 24. As well as getting extensive airplay in Europe & America, a few of the tracks also received some good reviews (which can be found below).
Since then to keep the momentum going, in 2015 Rob Lloyd has gone on to release "Like a Machine" & "Too Late, Too Soon" (reviewed by BBC Introducing's Sam Bonham below) as free downloads which can be found on his SoundCloud page.


"The music I am is currently exploring is a little different from my punk roots and while I miss the creativity of working with others, I'm also very much enjoying the creative freedom that comes from working alone, leading to different and varied sounds.
I hope to keep this momentum going and build on the positive reaction I've received for my solo work so far."

Born out of an era where Ridley Scott imagined dystopian futures on the silver screen, and artists like NIN and Aphex Twin rocked MTV.

Getting creative in the studio with the likes of Seven Lions, Skrillex, Deadmau5, and Tom Morello, and contributing to film scores and OSTs, including “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and “XXX -Return of Xander Cage” in collaboration with top composer Brian Tyler, Stanczak's long standing career in electronic music never stands still.

All of the stuff below was written a decade ago so none of it is really relevant any more.
~Bob (2023)

Geek. Miserable so-and-so. Square peg in a round hole with daydreams of living happily ever after by the sea.

After almost a decade as songwriter, bassplayer and singer with the band Betamax, with all it's highs and lows, I found myself suffering a severe case of writers block. All Things Bob is my attempt to find a cure with an ongoing and growing collection of musical experiments. All music, instrumentation, lyrics, recording and production is done by me. My techniques, both from a song-writing and production point of view, are constantly evolving and improving. I started with a four-track iPhone app and an acoustic guitar in March 2012. 

Hopefully, you'll like like what you hear on my page, and enjoy listening to my journey from just a year ago when I was genuinely unsure if I would ever be able to write another song....

Oh and it should go without saying, but just to be clear - All songs are written, performed and produced by me (unless otherwise stated).

Below are some reviews of my work to date:

"(All Things Bob) is now trying his hand at a solo career and with his new single ‘Home‘, he proves he’s on to a winner.

Having already reached the summit of the MRU charts, this infectiously catchy, up tempo electronically-generated tune has all the makings of a great pop song that could very well take the charts by storm, particularly with summer approaching. With an interesting fusion of musical styles based around a standard guitar/drum/keyboard backing section it is brilliantly enhanced with a deliciously bubblegum pop electronic melody. ‘Home‘ has echoes of recently successful indie-pop acts such as Yeasayer, Cut Copy or Miike Snow, and will no doubt generate similar levels of appeal.

The song’s technological age-inspired lyrics are ironically geeky, adding a bit of tongue-in-cheek charm to proceedings, while the memorable chorus hook together with Bob's David Byrne-esque vocal delivery both add to the like-ability factor. Perfectly timed, perfectly weighted and without an irritating over-reliance on electronic after effects, it is very difficult not to like a song like ‘Home.

This single will almost certainly be a massive hit and a great springboard for his All Things Bob solo-project."

"Former Bass player and songwriter of Betamax, All Things Bob offers some catchy melodies that are fused with some enjoyable electronic undertones."
~ Outskirt Noise

"Writing, playing, singing and recording everything himself, his music ranges from classic British guitar-pop to bedroom-electro oddness and grungy guitar rage, mixing it all into an astonishingly accomplished and melodic pure pop whole"
~ Rich Morris, Soundblab.com

"...the New Wave genre is blown wide apart by his streamlined Power-Pop and Punk diversity" 
~ Andy Woodcraft, Mojophenia

"There's no sign of a struggle for material; these tracks sound fully-formed and well though out. Most recent track 'Drone (Happiness Awaits You)' could have graced a Graham Coxon album, in fact many songs here have a touch of Blur about them. The sound is still punky (see 'Turn The Tide' or 'Another Life') but includes a few sonic experiments in the background. As far as highlights go then 'Unselected' stands out, sounding at points like it could be the work of Bob Mould; when he does slow things down for 'Seasons' the standard is the same, proving this is no one-trick pony. With the writers block banished (are we reassured of this on the excellent 'I'm Fine Now'?) we can surely now look forward to more things Bob."
