Melodic and abrasive in the right places, Machines Learning will punch you in the chest and massage you with hypnotic passages. They hit hard with a revitalized loud quiet loud approach of the early 90s, bands like My Bloody Valentine, Sunny Day Real Estate, Sonic Youth and Hum all come to mind. When the band aims at a build, they are relentless. The song Bulletproof Tiger is a great example, the 
precision pounding drums, body rattling bass and wall of guitars reach such a tremendous crescendo that there is nowhere left to climb. Instead the song’s peak empties into a well of sound, a soft ambient abyss, giving you just enough breathing room to anticipate the next triumphant build, which comes soon and spikes immense.
 
Singer / Guitarist Paul William Balmer sighs with a unique soft innocence which works especially well juxtaposed against the angular serrated guitars of satAMcoffee. That same soft innocence can give way to a fierce piercing howl when the necessity of the dynamic dictates, matching the intensity of Mario Quintero’s arena worthy fills and Bradley Botbyl’s steadied driving bass work. Machines Learning reclaims the potency of the trio, building a tremendous sound that leaves the listener marveling at the fact that three humans are indeed making it. They are the essence of rock n roll, bass, guitar, drums and vocals, all that was ever needed to move the mind and heart and shake the soul to its core.
 
The band is composed of three San Diego natives, brought together through the crosspollination of a fertile music scene. Brad and Paul had played together in the band Better Class of Flying Man and later Petticoat. After Petticoat broke up, Paul began concentrating on Immovable Objects. Multi instrumentalist and owner of Black Box Studio, Mario Quintero was engineering the Immovable Objects record. After Paul had recorded his guitar parts he had some extra riffs he wanted to lay down, Mario offered to play drums, Brad got the call on bass and Machines Learning was born.
