Ima Robot formed in Los Angeles in the late '90s, with Alex Ebert in the ranks and a sound that wanted to get you dancing and pick a fight at the same time. The self-titled debut came out on Virgin in 2003, a jittery, bratty blast of dance-rock that sounds like new wave with its collar popped and its fists clenched.
"Alive" jerks along on twitchy guitars and a chorus that sticks, and "Dynomite" throws everything at the wall with hyperactive, glittery swagger. Search and Destroy and Monument to the Masses followed in 2006, and Another Man's Treasure arrived in 2010. One of that album's B-sides, "Greenback Boogie", found a whole new audience as the theme song for the legal drama Suits.
