All the best bands are hard to categorize; after all, if it were a simple process to put a band in this box or that genre, then it must be because you have heard it all before. It stands to reason.

All the best bands are hard to categorize; after all, if it were a simple process to put a band in this box or that genre, then it must be because you have heard it all before. It stands to reason. Which is why I love La Need Machine. It’s not just that their music shifts around from one track to the next; just listen to their last album, Killer Instinct for an example of their eclectic nature, but even within one song, such as here on “I Wish I Could Fly,” they seem to blend all manner of, often contradictory, sounds and styles and do so seamlessly.

I felt the twee pop qualities, the back and forth boy/girl vocals are sweet and it is indicative of a track that is innocent and joyful but also realistic.... The narrative has been set for messaging us about climate change and its affect on nature but the sentiments could be applied to all aspects of life. The chorus brings matters to a head but by then most will be singing along and in that stride things will seem less insurmountable. ‘I Wish I Could Fly’ is the best kind of talking to that you’ll hear all week.

Now, after linking with sebastian on the single “Maria” earlier this year, La Need Machine return with their latest release and bring us their new single titled “I Wish I Could Fly.” Serving up a stunning slice of their bright indie sound with an Americana twist, “I Wish I Could Fly” sees the band lay down charming songwriting, buoyant split vocals and superb musicianship.... Peppered with Al’s slick lead guitar flourishes throughout, “I Wish I Could Fly” offers up the very best of La Need Machine’s highly original and entirely enjoyable sound.

La Need Machine is a melting pot of ideas and influences as their blends range from indie rock and americana to pop-punk and rock n roll. But it is not just in the style, but even in the way they present concepts. Their soundscapes are adorned with layers and accents that are incredibly enriching. In their latest track, ‘I Wish I Could Fly’, the band fathoms a heartfelt folk rock track that combines Joni Mitchell’s introspective acoustics with The Smiths’ classic melodic rock style.

La Need Machine’s single, “I Wish I Could Fly,” presents a cool sound that diverges from the stereotypical Seattle grunge associated with the ’90s. Instead, the band takes a unique approach, offering a nostalgic melody that, in my opinion, still carries the halo of Seattle at its core.

La Need Machine’s single, “I Wish I Could Fly,” presents a cool sound that diverges from the stereotypical Seattle grunge associated with the ’90s. Instead, the band takes a unique approach, offering a nostalgic melody that, in my opinion, still carries the halo of Seattle at its core.
Drawing a comparison to bands from the ’90s, La Need Machine’s vibes reminded me of Soul Asylum, showcasing a similar depth and intensity. It suggests that La Need Machine consists of seasoned musicians with a wealth of experience, and their ability to evoke nostalgic sentiments while presenting a fresh sound is fantastic.

Originating in Seattle, there’s a spirited rock and roll sound heard on their new album Killer Instinct, which released in November and now has a music video for the song “Herculean Tasks,” which revolves around a somewhat suburbanized version of Alice In Wonderland. There’s Alice, of course but also The Mad Hatter and the Red Queen all playing their roles in quirky fashion, with a bit of VFX to make things surreal as well as humorous. https://rollingstoneindia.com/seattle-band-la-need-machine-herculean-tasks-video/

With Killer Instinct, La Need Machine serves up impressive rock and roll, full of oomph, contagious rhythms, and deluxe vocals.
Killer Instinct opens with “Herculean Tasks,” rolling out on pop-punk-lite guitars riding a tight rhythm as evocative vocals imbue the lyrics with intense, quixotic savors.

Tracks like “Negative,” “Hot Dog,” and “Herculean Tasks” don’t ask for us to sit down and pay attention to the aesthetical details they contain just to bask in the swell of ridiculous sonic virtuosity; they smash us in the face with adrenaline and affection for the standards hard rock’s elite used to hold on a universal level. They make me believe in this genre’s viability post-COVID, and I think I’m not the only one who will say so thanks to Killer Instinct.

Seattle’s La Need Machine are about to release their new album, Killer Instinct, this Friday, November 11th. In celebration of the release comes the title track “Killer Instinct” - a non-stop rocker that never lets its foot off the gas. It feels like it should be the theme song to an ’80s movie about a kid that comes back from rock bottom to win the tournament and their love interest.

Just in time for Halloween, we’ve got Seattle band, La Need Machine, with the new single “Scary Voices,” and its accompanying music video. It’s got a cool Concrete Blonde-like vibe to it, as we follow the fictional main character in an unwritten horror movie.

While their punchy drumlines and ripping electric guitar leads keep them grounded to the rock n’ roll genre, La Need Machine's lyrics and inspiration come from an ethical place that seek to help their community through monetary donation accumulated from their streaming revenue.

It’s hard just making a name for yourself in music today, let alone getting to the level a lot of the legends you look up to rest upon, but that isn’t stopping La Need Machine from putting out an effort worthy of such consideration in Killer Instinct. This is starting to feel like a good season for the rock n’ roll revolution this generation has been waiting to experience for themselves, and if La Need Machine can positively position themselves with the underground scene they’ve come to own so handily out of the northwest corner of the American circuit, I think they’re going to start getting a lot of the press attention they and many others like them have been vying for since getting their start.

Growing up in Seattle where they were able to draw from an incredible music heritage, La Need Machine developed a unique but classic North-West sound and ethic, and new song ‘Negative’ is a rocking good track. Jangling guitars and pounding drums provide the perfect backing for Dawn’s powerful vocals, supported by Carly on BVs.
