Big hooks and big guitars are the hallmark of the
Broken Day Machine sound. With the muscular rhythm section of drummer
Kevin Kennedy and bassist Steve Nelson confidently chugging along
behind him, vocalist William May barks and brays his rugged vocals in
hefty, husky tones.
On A Place Beyond The Sun,
their most recent effort, Broken Day Machine takes a heavy 90s Rock
blueprint as their foundation and builds up from there to forge
something heavy as lead but rife with solid hooks. Lead guitarist Scott
Longton keeps it simple, holding back the flash in favor of a layered
simplicity. The result is a thick wall of guitars that serves the songs
well.
Four of the tunes on the disc are heavy rockers that
would probably blow the doors off any club in live performance. And
while "Home" the final track on the EP is a clichéd, throwaway ballad,
“At The Wheel” defies all expectations, rising above its meager intro
to evolve quickly into a much better-than-average power ballad on the
strength of a surprisingly catchy chorus.

Local
Michigan Made Music Makers, Broken Day Machine, may have only been
together for little over a year now, however, that hasn't stopped the
venerable foursome out of Riverview, MI from dropping their sophomore
effort, an EP called "A Place Beyond The Sun", much to the delight of
their fans, affectionately referred to as "machine heads". An eclectic
release of modern alternative rock & roll, available by digital
download via iTunes, Broken Day Machine has delivered a gem of a Disc
that is full of mesmerizing hooks while featuring lyrics that will have
you on the edge of your seat. Opening up the disc, the epic, feel-good
love song, One Last Night will ,literaly, have you rolling down the windows while cranking the volume to 10! The Gin Blossom-ish Go,
which just may be our fav, supplies the ultimate hook, laced with crisp
riffs which just dares you not to be singing along by the second
chorus! At The Wheel brings that intoxicating late night drive
home to life, filling your thoughts of your own "one to many"
excursions that are the epitome of a DD. Finishing out the disc is the
alt-country tinged ballad, Home, featuring Kevin Sharpe on the
keys. Reflecting on childhood memories it will have you thinking of
your own upbringing,sending shivers down your spine with some of the
most inspirational vocals we've heard. Dr2 just can't seem to get these
trax off our player; infectious hooks are everywhere, leaving their
mark in your head for hours on end, long after the last song has ended,
prompting you to "just push play" one more time! The quality of this
disc not only lies in the obliviously talented musicianship of William
May (vocals, guitar), Scott Longton (guitars), Kevin Kennedy
(percussion), and Steve Nelson (bass), but of the whole package being
delivered through an extremely rich vocal, featuring songs that have
been written with relevant meaning and the desire to make their own
dreams come true. One of the best local disc's this year, this just may
be the breakthrough Broken Day Machine has been waiting for as we would
not be surprised to hear a number of these songs on the airwaves today!
This one gets a big thumbs up from Dr2, a definite staple of any music
lovers collection, get yours today at iTunes or Amazon (for samples just click on the track title above). Broken Day Machine will be throwing their own EP Release Party July 10th
at Riverview's Rack & Roll Bar, be sure to stop in and get your
groove on! To find out more about Broken Day Machine or to find your
