about

The second single off Watch This space, released January 31, 2013.

"Rock n’ roll never gets old. There’s always someone new coming along that would reinvent the heavily-rooted sound by the baddest rules. Garage-punk duo Howler Flavors work on this premise, fusing The White Stripes’ bare-bones energy with raw aggression and good-time kicks. And they seemed to channel all these elements in the sing-shout messiness of “Strange Machines”—a track that tosses psychedelic blues guitars, bruised drums, gleeful noise and handclaps into dinosaur-rock stomp. It is in parts, insane and ill-tempered, well sort of a musical equivalent of a husband-and-wife rabid catfight in the basement, but a compellingly fun experience to hear if you’re into that kind of yowl."

- Ian Urrutia (VandalsOnTheWall.com)

lyrics

Got a strange machine
Flashing TV screens
Bones ringing in my ears

Your crooked grin
Your wicked schemes
Got me twisting in my dreams

Got a strange machine
Stars in shades of green
Blood painted shoes on the scene

Those devil eyes
And your sick lies
Got them burning in my brain

What do you say?

Got a strange machine
Got a talking tree
Got a twister in my dreams

When everything’s so wrong
It’s like a strange machine
