Sounds like: Scream Machine not only represents the rollercoaster ride through life, but also absolute freedom in both our World and Their’s. Our music is capable of taking the listener on a seemingly endless journey in about 5 minutes, and could be described as late 80's thrash crossed with early 90's alternative meets progressive -- or what we like to call -- “short prog.”

Songs: Ride, Pissing into the Moon, Burn the Red Carpet, Black Mamba, Ladisa, Fever Dream, Crazy Daze, In the Summer, Bazooka, Slackjaw Hippies, Inner Ear Removal, Becky, Rock Doctor, and coming soon to a stereo near you… .Down in the Ruff.

Venues: Atomic Cantina, Burt's Tiki Lounge, Misty's Hideaway, the Launchpad, the Tavern, Bi-Polar Boutique, Factory on 5th Art Gallery, La Junta Art Gallery, Los Altos Skate Park, We Art the People Festival, the WV Channel 27 political rock show (public access) and rock’in house parties across the metro area.

Band Members = Brandon: After bursting out of the womb in 1973, Brandon almost immediately became a hard rock enthusiast. Picking up the guitar at age 5 was very inspirational to his life as a band leader. A virtual metal head in the 80's, Brandon started broadening his horizons in the 90's due to the grunge/alternative movement, which had a profound impact on his psyche. After playing and creating with Delirium Carnival, Riverthroat and Cloud 9 From Outer Space,
Scream Machine was the logical choice to help Brandon expand even further into the realm of hard rock.

Joanne: This inner city chica was born and raised in Queens, NY and migrated to the "505" in 2001 and has been spotted shaking her booty in a Kiva Juice commercial. Joanne joined forces with Brandon doing backup vocals for Cloud 9 From Outer Space and fell in love with the drums after seeing The White Stripes perform at Red Rocks Amphitheater in the Summer of 2005.
