The album title reportedly came to the band 's drummer Travis McNabb in a dream . He dreamt of seeing a UK buzz band called Before the Robots . The next day , he asked fellow band members if there was such a band . Upon finding out there was not , they decided to adopt the phrase for this album 's title . On January 22 , 2010 , American country-pop singer Taylor Swift covered " Breathless " at a performance at the '' Hope for Haiti Now : A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief '' event , a charity telethon to benefit the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake . Swift has also been known to cover " Our Last Night " at many of her concerts
