Search - Star Off Machine :: Burn This

Nominees for "Best Live Band" and winners of "Best Hard Rock Band" by the 2008 Orange County Music Awards(OCMA), Winners of Best Hard Rock Band by the 2009 South Bay Music Awards(SBMA), Star Off Machine team up with producers, Tom Tatman(Stone Sour, Craig Erickson, Living Sacrifice), Tommy D(Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg) and percussion extraordinaire Stephen Perkins(Jane's Addiction, Porno For Pyros, Panic Channel) for their first full length record, Burn This. Creating a romantically tragic soundtrack for any unsavory loss of innocence, Star Off Machine weaves emotionally wrought melodies and intimate lyrics with layers of grinding guitars, solid bass and explosive drums. From beginning to end, the musicians' broad spectrum of influences are evident. The first track, "Disaster", is an in-your-face, hard rock song about reflecting upon one's life only to find out what a mess it has become. In contrast, the album's last track, "Ninth Floor", is a somber orchestral piece about facing absolutes on the road to an eminent end. This contagious collection of songs is bound to charge listeners to their feet as they throw their fists in the air.
