We'll Write hails from London, and they start off their biography by noting that oil is vanishing, bees are disappearing, and robots will take over the world. Fittingly, they've titled their latest album Songs for the End of the World.

The two began singing together in 2004 and released their first EP in 2007 as a free download. And they've found a new way to release their first full-length album - instead of completing the album beforehand, they have released it in serial form, releasing each song one at a time, and completely for free.

Songs for the End of the World falls purely in the geek realm. Bleached Bone Fields, their first track off the album, follows a sort of post-apocalyptic vibe where there's vivid imagry of deserts and the protagonist trying to avoid falling asleep. Measure of a Man looks at robotics, Demon is about, well, Demons, Trampoline Song talks about the yearning to reach the sky, and so on. Additionally, while the first eight songs are available to download right away, there's additional b-sides that they include with each release for members of their mailing list.

The two have recently released their first music video for the song Measure of A Man, which features giant robots taking over the world. The CGI is a bit clunky, to be honest, but it certainly is amusing.

The album isn't perfect, but it is fun. It's pretty clear that these guys have a geniune appreciation for fandom and the elements that help to make it up, if this album is to go by.

Even as they sing about the end of the world, their music delivery method could be the beginning of something new. As the musicians and the music industry continues to realize just how the internet can be used to get music to fans, smaller acts such as We'll Write have the inherent advantage of being able to slip in, gainiing fans through a number of social networking sites and music blogs. It's entirely possible that this is the future, or at least a glimpse of the near future, when it comes to the entire entertainment industry.

Hopefully, though, the robot apocaylse won't happen until after their album is completed.

In the meantime, feel free to check out the album here.

Dr. Horrible (Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog): Aspiring supervillain Dr. Horrible sings of his hatred of Captain Hammer, his unrequited love for Penny, and, of course, his freeze ray.

Dr. Abner Sedgwick (It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s Superman): In the television adaptation of this Superman musical, David Wayne plays Dr. Sedgwick, a ten-time Nobel also-ran seeking to take revenge on Sweden.

The Joker (Batman): The Joker was supposed to get a musical number in the never-produced Batman musical. But he does get a song in The Killing Joke.

And another in the Animated Series episode “Christmas with the Joker.”

Dr. Frank-N-Furter (The Rocky Horror Picture Show): When he isn’t building himself living sex toys or murdering Meat Loaf, Frank offers a little musical exposition.

Mr. Hyde (Jekyll & Hyde): Mr. Hyde (who looks and sounds suspiciously like David Hasselhoff in addition to Dr. Jekyll) belts out showtunes about murder, darkness, and lust.

Rotti Largo (Repo! The Genetic Opera): The ruthless head of GeneCo, Rotti helped create and profits from a system that makes organ repossession legal, hiring an army of legal assassins known as Repo Men.

HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey): The homicidal computer system starts to go a little nuts as David Bowman initiates his shutdown sequence. As HAL dies, he sings the same song sung by BM 7094 in 1961, “Daisy Bell.”

Oogie Boogie (The Nightmare Before Christmas): The Boogie Man is one of the few denizens of Halloweentown who is not merely frightening but malevolent as well. And he thinks that “Sandy Claws” will be the perfect addition to his Snake and Spider Stew.

Audrey II (Little Shop of Horrors): This alien vegetable takes a break from munching on human flesh to illuminate her plan for world domination in song.

Siren (The Titans): Atlantean ecoterrorist Siren can sing humans into submission, but didn’t get a musical number in the Aquaman pilot.

Dr. Drakken (Kim Possible): How does Kim Possible’s mad scientist nemesis unwind? With karaoke, of course.

Sweet (Buffy the Vampire Slayer “Once More, With Feeling”): The villain of Joss Whedon’s other musical, Sweets is a singing, dancing demon. And when he sings, the world sings with him.

Fu Manchu (The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu): In Peter Selles’ comedy, Fu Manchu must round up the ingredients to his age-regressing elixir. And with ultimate victory comes a musical number.

The Robot Devil (Futurama): When the Robot Devil grows bored with tormenting robot souls in Robot Hell, he rounds up his robot band and sings robot songs.

The Goblin King (Labyrinth): Casting David Bowie as your flamboyant villain doesn’t necessitate musical numbers, but they certainly don’t hurt.

GLaDOS (Portal): After spending most of the game trying to kill you and promising you cake, GLaDOS adds insult to injury by assuring you, in song, that you haven’t destroyed her.

Number 21 and Number 24 (The Venture Bros.): Monach henchmen 21 and 24 may not be so good at the evil, but they do a mean rendition of Holst’s “Mars.”

The Master (Doctor Who): Once the Master has taken over the world, has apparently defeated the Doctor, and is on the verge of creating a massive time paradox, he celebrates with a little Scissor Sisters.

1. Space Oddity by David Bowie. The ultimate science fiction ballad. If only the bar let you wave a lighter around.
Singing ability required: Moderate. You just need to be able to intone "Ground control to Major Tom" in a sort of monotone, count down from five, and then wave your beer bottle over your head to the rousing chorus.

2. Rocket Man by Elton John. The other ultimate science fiction ballad, and pretty much a rip-off of the Bowie song, only cheesier.
Singing ability required: High. Unless you decide to do a cover version of the famous Shatner rendition, in which case you need absolutely no vocal chops whatsoever.

3. Rapture by Blondie. Mostly for the rap about the Man from Mars. Who knows what the other part of the song is about anyway?
Singing ability required: High. But here's what you do. Either you find your cute friend who can actually sing to do the singing part, OR you cover the Go Home Productions mash-up of "Rapture" with "Riders On The Storm" by the Doors. (You can find this mash-up online pretty easily, I think, and it still includes the Blondie rap.) But this is the crucial part: memorize the rap. You don't have to be Kanye West to pull it off, but you do have to have it memorized, especially if you're already sorta drunk. Promise me you'll memorize it in advance, so you don't embarrass me too much. Or else, don't tell anybody I told you to do this.

4. 1999 by Prince. It's sort of an apocalyptic party song, about nuclear war or something. And on the album, it starts out with that robot that only wants you to have some fun.
Singing ability required: Fairly high. This is the one you drag all your friends up there to help you sing. Bonus points if you actually work out in advance which one of you will be Dez Dickerson (bass) and which one will be Lisa (alto).

5. She Blinded Me With Science by Thomas Dolby. It's pretty much the classic mad-scientist boogie number, from one of the most scifi-ish singers of all time.
Singing ability required: Moderate. If everybody is really really drunk, you can just sort of chant the lyrics and then put everything you've got into screaming "She blinded me! With! Science!" when appropriate. Or if that's too hard, just do the screaming part.

6. Anything by They Might Be Giants. Especially if they've got "Particle Man." They're sure to have that Istanbul/Constantinople song, which isn't really scifi, but TMBG has instant scifi cred anyway.
Singing ability: Fairly high, but you can bluff your way through it if you at least remember the lyrics.

7. Flash Gordon by Queen. Or, in a pinch, Another One Bites The Dust, which is sort of post-apocalyptic sounding. Do NOT try to sing Bohemian Rhapsody. It's not science fictional, for one thing, and your friends will disown you. You're not as funny as Wayne and Garth. Trust me.
Singing ability required: High. Sorry. It's Freddy Mercury.

8. Atomic Dog by George Clinton. Why is the dog atomic? Was there some kind of nuclear disaster, or bizarre scientific mishap? (Hint: Clinton also made the awesome Dope Dogs album, all about weird drug-related experiments on puppies.) Whatever the reason, this dog is probably chasing the cat using a jetpack or something. In an ideal universe, your karaoke bar would have "Unfunky UFO" or "Mothership Connection" or "Dr. Funkenstein." But we both know that's not going to happen.
Singing ability required: Pretty high, but you can pretty much just chant your way through it. If you can master the "bow-wow-wow-yippie-yi-yippie-yay" part, you're home free. This is another song you can bring your friends up for, and just have a dance party.

9. Styx, Mr. Roboto. Well, duh. His brain is IBM.
Singing ability required: I'd say moderate. Annalee just did an impromptu performance of it for me. If you put a lot of energy and emotion into "I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control," and "Secret secret I've got a secret," you're home free.

10. Anything by Daft Punk, especially Technologic. It's pretty much all weird robots or creepy cyber-voices chanting about how they're going to fix everything.
Singing ability required: Not that much, really. Just chant and sound as robotic as you can. But work out a dance routine with a couple of your friends.
