About the Artist
Formed in April 2006, East London based rockers Machine O.E.M have forged a brand of melodic hard rock that speaks to the masses; real music for real people. Influenced by the stadium rock giants of the 70's and 80's, combined with modern pop sensibility, strong melody and honest, heartfelt lyrics. The band is made up of five members; frontman Lez Dart, guitar duo Travers Harty and Clint Green, bass guitarist Steve Daniel, and Jay Durrant on drums and percussion. In 2010 Machine OEM entered the studio to record their debut album funded by their fans through the award winning artist financing platform slicethepie.com. With SA heavyweight producer Theo Crous at the helm, ‘Fueled’ is set to break new borders for Machine OEM both locally and abroad.Achievements
