Perfect Machines

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 recent session at the Compound in the Santa Cruz mountains (owned and operated by Joe Clements of Fury 66, Static Revolution/Crucial Unicorn, and Lorelei records fame) has left the band in possession of a four-song demo E.P. entitled "When They Were and Still Are..." which has been widely received and praised by Perfect Machines small, but rapidly growing, fan base.

F-Labels of San Francisco hailed Perfect Machines as "fresh & imaginative & precise" lyrically, and 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 Anti-Flag; understandably, considering these bands represent a prominent few of the bands diverse influences.

Now, in late 2006, Perfect Machines steps fresh onto the Santa Cruz music scene with a hard hitting, Dual Rectifier induced dose of punk rock... looking to take over the Bay.
