Artist History Driving Machine was formed in the early spring of 2000 as no more than a side project. Over that summer, the band started writing and arranging some original material. In January 2001 the material began to be recorded and the quality of the material was heard for the first time. This surprised the band and they decided that this was no side project. The best way to describe Driving Machine is determined. Persevering line-up changes, medical operations, and budget problems; nothing would stop the band from getting their first release REASON AND RESEMBALANCE out into the world. Currently, the band is rehearsing the material from their 8 song debut, for live performances.
