Bitter Machine is B██████████ and A██████████. They have collaboratively made music with other bands and under different project names but have now focused on releasing music under the moniker Bitter Machine. Their individual lives and personal information doesn’t matter because who Bitter Machine are and whom they choose to be outside the project is inconsequential. ‍

Bitter Machine doesn’t want to meet you. They don’t care if you ever know who they are, only that you help look for the escape key in an age where personal brands, follow requests, and individual content creation is de rigueur. The Oklahoma City alternative rockers mince no words when approaching topics like modern alienation, the addictive properties of social media, or any one of a thousand dystopian stories pulled from the 24-hour news cycle of today. They craft music from broken and bit-smashed samples, dirty tape-warped keys, and power chords not to tear everything down but to pull away the mask covering the monster.
