Machine Girl
The Machine Girl narrative bridges the divide for all types of freaks. Becoming widely known for their vitriolic, organic, massive grassroots following, developed through a sense of aesthetic maximalism, both online and BUT MAINLY off. Founded by Matt Stephenson and percussionist Sean Kelly, the union of their frenetic sound, DIY ethos and distinctly hi-fi, widescreen vision has garnered profound resonance throughout culture and across fans worldwide.
Machine Girl have become dually infamous for their cathartic, unpredictable, acrobatic performances and their uncompromising, genre-oblivious catalogue, boasting a reputation as one of the most compelling performance offerings of the underground. Kerrang! listed them as one of the “bands expanding the definition of hardcore,” and described the project as, “a particularly… ferocious breed of the electronic sub-genre breakcore that could easily pass for hardcore when they rip it live.”
In 2022, Machine Girls’ first worldwide tour hit 24 countries and 34 cities, over 41 days with their first ever UK and Aus runs sold out entirely in pre-sale. Come 2023 they teamed up with 100 gecs for a sold out six week run across the US. In the time since, as an entirely independent group Machine Girl have cultivated over 125 million monthly listeners on Spotify culminating in their signing to like minded label innovators, Future Classic.
