Take It, Somebody

The Modern Machines have often been described as classic upper Midwestern punk filtered thru a modern day basement punk sensibility. Husker Du meets early Replacements meets early Lemonheads (remember when they were good?) meets Dillinger 4 meets The Figgs? While these comparisons are fairly apt, Take It, Somebody, sees the band incorporating older and more diverse influences into their distinctive songwriting style, including 60's garage rock and even some Americana-esque twang. These guys (rabid record collectors all) know their music history, and it shows.
