Memphis band On A Dead Machine knows how to keep the beat.

On A Dead Machine is a band that has become really difficult to classify since their conception in early 2003. Built out of the ashes of the now defunct Drought and Piston Honda, the Memphis , TN band's roster includes Brian Link (vocals), Ed Harris (drums), Adam Lucchesi (guitar), Chris Tabbutt (guitar) and Chad Rodgers (bass). Through the bands combined efforts they have created a sound that is all their own. A sound that is heavy, but not 'metal', while often exploring an indie vibe through soaring melodies, yet never really fitting into that category either. They've been called everything from "the new sound of metal" to "post-hardcore" and everything in-between. While opinions may differ when it comes to the band's classification, most critics have all agreed that On A Dead Machine is an original group that has a knack for writing great music while handling themselves like true professionals.
