More than three decades after its original release, Damn The Machine’s groundbreaking debut album returns. For the very first time on vinyl. “Only a few years after I had moved from Virginia to Los Angeles, one thing led to another and I was in the rehearsal room with Chris Poland, Dave Randi and Mark Poland. From the first moment this connection of minds was nothing short of an explosion of creativity.” – recalls Clemmons. Group’s genre-defying sound puzzled many, sparking conversations about their style. “Chris and I often wondered if we were venturing too far, if we should simplify our writing as we were flying over everyone’s heads,” he admits. Yet, their shared vision was clear: “Let’s make an album that will stand the test of time.”
