Plus support from THE SUNLIGHT MACHINE
The Sunlight Machine are a Midlands based alt-rock/indie/emo/math duo with heavy drums, lo-fi guitars, and vocals that sound like they’ve been dragged through gravel. Influences such as Biffy Clyro, QOTSA, Manchester Orchestra, and Pulled Apart by Horses have found their way into the bands unique songwriting style and sound.
Cameron Yazdi and Darrelly Mayo started The Sunlight Machine after melting through band line ups that barely stuck together past 3 covers. Since then the band has honed it’s sound and songwriting through practicing and performing for friends in their Nuneaton based living room/studio/stage.
After experimenting with recording and writing the band have released an EP entitled ‘103 The Garage Incident’ that has received radio play from BBC Introducing and is available to download for free.
