Man Made Machine is a hard rock band from Phoenix, Arizona. The band released its debut album Become in 2011 with production by Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett in addition to mixing by Jeremy Parker.[2][3]
History
The origins of the ensemble can be traced back to Arizona band The Cover Up. Lead vocalist Joe Cotela stated that things with The Cover Up were approaching a standstill, and that they were performing music swayed by Every Time I Die. Because the band was dissatisfied with Epic Records not properly promoting the album, the band decided to move on.[4][5]
On October 2, 2015, the ensemble performed their final concert, and released a compilation album of 30 songs entitled B-Sides and Rarities.[1]
Touring
The band has toured with Escape The Fate, Dr. Acula,[6] Aranda and Shaman's Harvest.[7]
Critical reception
Jennifer Beaudoin of WQBK-FM stated that "The band fits in very well with today’s popular rock bands, as they have similar sound and style, while showing the world what they have “become” since luckily being signed, recorded, released and on tour".[8] Mark S. Tucker of The Buzz About described Become as "one long contrast between reckless defiant balls-out bluster and gob-spittle against some interestingly introspective explorations of what lies beneath such rampant rage and desperation".[9][10] The video for "Victim", the first single from the debut album was No. 2 most added during its first week at Active Rock radio.[6] [11]
