UNSTOPPABLE DEATH MACHINES are a blown-out distorto-punk-rock freak-show bass and drum explosion from Brooklyn via Queens. Formed by brothers Billy [drums] and Mike [bass] in 2008, the tandem has jarred DIY venues, rooftops, lofts, sweaty warehouse parties, and art galleries—including two hometown performances at the Queens Museum of Art Biennial Celebration—with their brand of bombastic noise punk. Read on . . .
This Fall, UNSTOPPABLE DEATH MACHINES made their limited debut vinyl pressing, ‘SLUMLORD' EP (Last Ever Records) available through mail order and at shows, and will see a digital release soon. The Village Voice featured the duo and hailed the EP "a rousing success--four blown-out, bass-chuggin' fuck-it-alls in seven damaging minutes." The EP was recorded live by Billy and Mike with no overdubs on 2-inch tape in a single caffeine and THC fueled evening at a warehouse studio along the East River in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Video director Scott Cramer captured the duo's live allure in the video debut of single/title track "Slumlord."
Live, UNSTOPPABLE DEATH MACHINES stack walls of speakers & amps and use homemade post-apocalyptic face mics to sculpt a sound described by fans as "loud-as-fuck" and pack shows with their raucous energy. The duo has criss crossed the United States multiple times with self-booked sweat drenched DIY tours, including performances at SXSW and CMJ. They've played and toured alongside the likes of Japanther, Zach Hill, Ninjasonik, The Death Set, Tinsel Teeth, Gull, Soft Circle, HotTub, and Fiasco- the list goes on.
UNSTOPPABLE DEATH MACHINES will end 2010 with a co-headlining DIY tour with fellow Brooklyn art-punks Japanther. 2011 kicks in with a month long January SouthWest/West Coast tour with San Antonio tourmates XRY, followed by a March tour leading to SXSW and a maiden European art gallery-exclusive tour in April.
In between all this, the duo will record another 10 songs for a full length LP to be released 2011.
