Screaming Mechanical Brain

At first glance SMB (or Screaming Mechanical Brain if you have time) is a four piece rock band out of Minneapolis MN. Upon closer inspection, one can see that they are much more than just that. For starters, a band that uses a keytar and a full electronic drumset to make heavy music in this day and age is simply unheard of. SMB strives to defy the norm while maintaining a commitment to making catchy, listenable music. An electronic heavy metal pop band? Well, why not? If someone has to do it, these guys are the right men for the job. Combining many opposing genres together is no easy task, and doing so without coming off as a jokey novelty act is even more difficult, but with politicaly charged lyrics, an action packed live show, and good old fashioned songwriting know-how combined with a lot of elbow grease has made SMB into a serious force in the underground music scene. Did I mention elbow grease? Throughout 2004-2005 SMB has toured the country both as a headlining act and as support for a few bigger nationals to push their self produced, self financed, and self distributed album "The Process Of Assimilation". Traveling in a 15 passanger hotel van, sleeping on floors, and loving almost every second of it. Tour manager, booking agent, roadies? See the band line up above. So far it's been DIY all the way.
