Artist description
Rockmachine is 99.4% pure pop about girls n' stuff from the mind of Danny Rockmachine, recorded on 4-tracks or less. It is also an excuse for him to wear shiny black vinyl pants and dress himself and his friends up in fuzzy animal outfits and jump around and play sloppily in front of people. |

Artist History
Rockmachine began in 1998 when Danny Rockmachine found a Yamaha SHS-10 for $9.99 at Goodwill and dubbed it "the rockmachine." He began writing annoying (to his sleeping roommates, at least) pop songs on it, making tapes of them, and sending them to his friends. The purchase of a 4-track cassette recorder and moving in with a drummer (Dave Torch) expanded the Rockmachine universe considerably. It has since grown into an empire of entertainment that has included art shows and video games. |

Press Reviews
"I saw Rockmachine play once. They were really bad. They were so bad that it was kind of cool." --some girl I overheard at a Crushstory show "The two bands I'd really like to see live are NOFX and Rockmachine. I hear they're really good." --a kid I overheard at another Crushstory show "That space song is one of my favorite songs of all time." --my girlfriend "That one song ('Postcard...') is so good... I don't really like ('Superstellar') that much." --the girl I wrote Superstellar for |
