[2] ‘No Machine’ is the brainchild of the Athenian born Rivers brothers. Growing up on a diet that ranges from Prince to Johnny Cash and Marillion to King Crimson, they have been playing together since they were 13, experimenting in the darker side of pop music with thought provoking imagery. Chance meetings in a Lisbon club brought new members into the fray and the classically trained Rivers brothers had found their line-up. The idea behind the name ‘No Machine’ is the idea behind the band: a real “live” band, with straightforward, expressive, “human” songs. After the band approached artist Mark Wilkinson (Marillion, Iron Maiden) he was so enthusiastic about the band’s sound and ethos he set about designing No Machine’s first ever cover art.

With the finishing touches currently being made at Mayfair Studios (Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer’, Blur’s 1997 album, ‘Blur’), fans are already anticipating the release of their first proper studio album.
What can we expect? “We’re really excited with the results,” says Al. “There’s lots of great brass and orchestration in there. Beck’s dad (David Campbell), who did the last Metallica album, is also doing the string arrangements for us.”
Taking journeys through ska, progressive rock and punk, the classically trained musicians have developed their own unique brand of psychedelic pop. Several band names and personnel changes down the line, they have found their ideal line-up and are now ready to bring No Machine to the world. Hold on tight…
