Darren Robbins is a singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Robbins released the seminal power pop CD Darren Robbins Steals Your Girlfriend in 1988.[1] Glowing reviews in publications such as Rolling Stone and Musician, combined with heavy regional radio airplay led to a recording contract with A&M.

With two albums recorded, but unreleased, Robbins parted ways with the label and released two CDs under the name Time Bomb Symphony.[2][3] Most recently, he has released his first CD of new material in seven years under yet another pseudonym, Destroy The Heart. The self-titled CD was produced by Adam Schmitt.

According to a recent New York Times feature, Robbins formed the company Big D Custom Tour Merch in 2007, providing full-service tour merchandising to many major rock acts as well as custom screen printing services.

In 2014, Robbins, now a prolific street artist working under the pseudonym Lemmy Cornhole, made headlines after his arrest for malicious destruction to a building in his hometown of Dowagiac, Michigan. Charges were later dropped. His hand-made street art-style cornhole boards are now in high demand and sell for upwards of $2500 on the secondary market.
