 Scary Voices

 There’s a decidedly punky feel to the stylization of the new single “Scary Voices” from La Need Machine, and yet rebellion never feels like the core narrative in the song. In both the stripped-down music video for the track as well as the song itself, La Need Machine presents a strong melodic presence that almost circumvents the gritty nature of the music and lyrics in favor of creating some accessibility for the audience here. Pop has a moderate influence over the concept at hand in “Scary Voices,” and despite its title, this is perhaps one of the more reassuring listens I’ve come across as a rock critic in the latter half of 2022. There’s no ego in this piece, but instead an amalgamation of angst and self-awareness that has been woefully missing from a lot of indie rock in the past couple of years. 

 Loose rhythm and engaging harmonies are the order of the day in “Scary Voices,” and I think both this song and its accompanying music video are going to do a lot to bring some exposure to this talented group of players in the immediate future. Cosmetically speaking, they’ve got the blue-collar songcraft that I want to hear more of in pop/rock at the moment – albeit derived from a Carrie Akre-style source – and I like the idea of La Need Machine becoming more conceptual with their music as they continue to grow. “Scary Voices” is a fine precedent-setter, and I anticipate some quantum development from its creators a lot sooner than I would from any of their direct contemporaries in the American underground right now.

Motorstrollin'

The Need Machine arrives with Motorstrollin ' , a very strong and accelerated proposal, which will make us break all the delirium of a day made to measure destruction, raising a sound made to measure of the power and energy that we hide inside and we want to push everything we want to feel to the limit. This American band offers us a perfect way to break everything and let nothing separate us, like a stroke of fury that we need to go to the limit of our emotions.

 Motorstrollin'

 I've listened twice now and I can't get over how much that opening beat sequence reminds me of Benny Goodman's Sing Sing Sing, odd because after about half a dozen seconds Motorstrollin' takes off down a very different path and one that came close to burning our ears such were the earth shaking riffs. These dudes/dudettes really know how to capture that classic rock/metal stomp and we better comply or face the consequences.  

La Need Machine

   There’s is a mission to accomplish something of a similar grandeur as punk and alternative-rock greats that came before them.

The Right Side

  This is great punk-rock that reminds me of the great late 80s LA bands. Kind of reminds me of X. This was great!  

Motorstrollin'

 Damn, this sounds demented. I mean that in a great sense. It sounds like the band is out on a deadly vendetta. This is really cool! 

 The Right Side

The track has a strong indie-rock production with bold vocals. I am confident that this song will pick up a lot of traction. 

Motorstrollin'

 This is a refreshingly original approach to indie-rock; the sound is raw and bold.  

  The Right Side

Killer vocals and great energy in the track!  I dig this one. 

Things I'd Do  

Cool track and well done.  

Motorstrollin' 

 I really dig the aggression. 

 Motorstrollin'

The band`s sound is strong and tight. The vocals are well performed and also impeccably produced. 

 Motorstrollin'

I dig the wild energy and fuzzy + distorted sounds a lot as well as the rock and roll voice 

 Motorstrollin'

Motorstrollin' is definitely a cool song of which I'm definitely looking for.... and the vocals emulated Cherie Currie's at times which I love!!! 

Motorstrollin' 

Cool smashing hard rock tune with tight riffs and charismatic 80s driven vocals. The song is too old school for the playlist but hey, it's a kickass track. Keep killing it guys! 

Motorstrollin'

 I gotta say the track here brings on such an intense feel. The way the guitar just speeds on through with a no holds barred attitude is just such a thrill. 

The Right Side

 Oh DIY garage rock how are you and nothing screams that form of output like the Right Side does here. The vocals to their credit hold matters together but there was always the intimation that it was only a matter time until this track went all out rock demons. It needed more melody for me but then I am probably looking in the wrong place when La Need Machine are here to shake our world to its foundations and nothing else. 

Motorstrollin'

   Embodied the spirit of bands like Judas Priest and ticked a lot of boxes that make a great rock track. I feel the production quality could be generally improved as the more DIY sound doesn't lend itself to the more grandiose nature of the track and what it could be. 

The Right Side 

 A rocking 90s grunge and garage rock and punk rock blend. It has some great riffs and on point production. 

Motorstrollin'

 A confident and lively indie rock and power punk sound with some big 90s-esque moments and style to it. A lot of bite  

 La Need  Machine

A heavy hitting 90s rock sound with some big time bite and a lot of classic influence to it. It has a big spark and passion about it 

The Right Side

 Really like this rocking track, good guitar sound and solid vocals!  

this song is cool 

 The Right Side

 The song is solid with an engaging sound in the production that shines  

  The Right Side

 Fun punk energy on this song. Love the lyrics. 

  Things I'd Do

 There is such a lo-fi fizz to this track, held together impressively though it felt sorta tacked together in an indie DIY manner to me and so we felt compelled to act upon in by moving in a manner that has no semblance of artistry. And so we must applaud to La Need Machine for giving us that feeling of liberation, no bells and whistles needed just the passion to hammer out a tune in as loud a manner as they see fit. It is noisy and breaks all the rules and unique to its maker, good on them and even more kudos for giving the proceeds to such a worthwhile charity. 

  Things I'd Do

This is a solid old school punk rock driven track. Catchy and fun, with a raw sound and cool vocals....Sounds authentic though. Keep smashing it and all the best! 

 Motorstrollin'

A powerful, boisterous and energetic blast of riff fueled rock; guitars buzz and riffs surge atop a high energy beat while powerful commanding vocals soar above the fuzz and distortion - it is a huge and epic anthem  

La Need Machine

 Raw, meaty and powerful blast of alt-rock; guitars burn and riffs churn while drums crash below the wall of distortion and powerful vocals - it is a huge and powerful anthem. 

Motorstrollin'

 Sweet stuff! Thanks so much for sending it our way. We would love to play this on the radio show!  

The Right Side

 Great dynamic. We like the drum sound, nice mix of the track. Good vocal performance. 

Things I'd Do

  First of all, the vocals are great as they are on point throughout the track. Also, the tune intensifies really well and the music video is great... this is awesome!
