The product of a chance meeting between Sam Chase and Benjamin Corey in late 2005, Perfect Machines was incarnated as the collaborative effort of two guitarists/song writers. Shortly after its inception, it became painfully clear that the project was not going to fully run its course in a living room on acoustic guitars and Adam Goosef and Lance Lee joined the band in April 2006 to fill out the low end, playing drums and bass respectively.
A session at the Compound in the Santa Cruz mountains (owned and operated by Joe Clements of Lorelei records) in December of 2006 left Perfect Machines with a four-song demo E.P. entitled "When They Were and Still Are...." A year later, the band returned to the Compound to record its seminal full length, which is slated to be released on F-Labels before the New Year.
Fans have praised the energy and enthusiasm of the live show produced by dueling and overlapping vocals on top of the driving drums, bass and guitars. Comparisons have been widespread, but most often listeners cite the stylistic similarities of Perfect Machines to major acts such as Rise Against, Thrice, and Hot Water Music; understandably, considering these bands represent a prominent few of the bands diverse influences.
The new album is on its way, Lance has left the band, and a new bassist is being built to specification (kids, say hello to Johnny), and plans for global conquest are in the works (alright… maybe if I put all my armies in Australia…).
Stays tuned, America… and get fucked.
