machineheart: LA Life, Post Malone, and Social Media

This week, we sat down with machineheart (@machineheart), a band based out of LA with strong ties to Tacoma, Washington. They gained popularity with covers of Katy Perry and The 1975, eventually breaking into Spotify’s Viral with their original song ‘Circles’ featuring Vancouver-based electronic artist Vanic. On the heels of their debut album, People Change, we discuss how the band came together, the toxicity of social media, Post Malone, the creative process, and more. This episode was recorded backstage during soundcheck at The Gramercy Theatre in NYC, so my apologies for any annoying guitars, drums, and clanking going on in the background. Personally, I think all of the noise adds to the aesthetic of the podcast. Definitely planned it that way. Please go check out machineheart on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Their debut album, People Change, is out right now so go bump it. The links to their latest tracks are in the description of this podcast.
