==Early Life and Early Career ==
John Robb was born in Baltimore, Maryland on September 7th, 1974 to Journalist Vincent Robb and Pianist Erica Weidman. At an early age, Robb showed a deep intrest in singing, once singing the national anthem for a small sporting event in Annapolis. His mother arranged him with a Jazz vocal teacher but he quit taking them becuase he didn't like Jazz. Eventually, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts where on his 8th birthday his father took him to his first concert, The Clash. In an interveiw, Robb stated "It was then on I became obsesed with music, I wanted to be just like Joe Strummer when I was older."
Robb eventually convinced one of his friends to play guitar so they could start a band. In Middle School, they rucruited another member to play drums for them. Once, the three were suspended for playing during lunch. During High School, Robb was an average student, "I mostly had C's but all I cared about was my band." Robb stated during a show in Los Angeles.
His first band eventually started playing at friend's basements and under the bleachers at football games. During Robb's senior year, the band split and Robb met Cole Patterson at a party and started the recording project/Band "Everyone Hates Salvadore Dali." They eventually started playing gigs around Boston and became a rather popular band in the Boston metropolitan area. A year after they started, Cole and John  left the band to start a new band called Hats and Boots. The two graduated high school and rented an apartment to record music with new members Steve Quinn, Ben Pierce, Evan Wheeler, and Phillip Romero. 
==Later Career==
In 2010, Hats and Boots released the album "I swear, this is our last album." Robb stated that the band was starting to fall out and they believed this was going to be the last album they recorded. However they were motivated by countless fans to stay together. The band went on hiatus for a year until they played a surprise show in Boston, they booked the gig as a band called "Senior Monkey."  Named after Robb's first band. As the band walked out, the whole venue was cheering when the band was recognized; their manager said during an XM interveiw.
The band achieved mainstream popularity with "I have Kim Deal's favorite pair of panties." After their tour, Robb was injured in a car accident and they went on hiatus again.
