The Roaring 20’s Hate Machine

We have all known eachother for years now and the pieces just fell together and we started to play music together. Mark Robels and I have been friends for years and we decided during October 2007 that we would start up a band. In late december 2007 Jeremy Borntrager joined our band as bassiest. Tom couch is originally from the band Longevity, which is still together and recording so check them out as well. Jeremy and Mark are originally from Mechanical Sheep which split up in march 2007 after one and a half years of being a band not playing one live show. All three of us come from completly different musical styles i.e. Mark- metal/Progressive, Jeremy- punk/Rock and Tom-Physcedelic/alternative. In Feburary 2009 Jeremy Borntrauger departed the Roaring 20's Hate Machine to presue a career in Interpretive dance, last we heard he was developing a style that was going to take the Interpretive dance world by storm even more so than the river dance creater ever dreamed of, That just says ROCK!!!!!. We spent awhile playing without a bass player because we felt Jeremy left a pair of shoes that couldn't be filled by anyone else. We had various tryouts and jam sessions with other bass players but it never felt right for us, that all changed when Jonathan Summers came to practice with us, instantly we, Mark and myself, knew he was the one. In late May 2009 Jonathan Summers, who was in Longevity with Tom Couch joined the Roaring 20's Hate Machine as bass player. He is a death metal extermist who has followed the path of progressive rock.

INDIVIDUAL BIO'S

Jeremy Borntrager: Born in Waupaca, Wisconsin on june 8th, 1986, his fanily moved around alot when he was a child eventually setting in Plainfeild, Wisconsin; The home of the infamous serial killer Ed Gein. He lived 3 miles away from Ed Gein's farmhouse; where Ed Gein murdered and made furniture (out of his victims), and later canabalized his victims. Jeremy got his first job as a clerk at the local hardware store where in 1957, Ed Gein abducted and murdered Bernice Woden, the owner of the store at the time, which lead to his capture. In early 2006 he moved to Paradise, California where we all met eachother. During the year and a half he was in Paradise Jeremy and Mark started a band called Mechanical Sheep, which disbanded in March 2007. In late December 2007 he joined The Roaring 20's Hate Machine as the bass player. On October 8th, 2008 Jeremy left The Roaring 20's Hate Machine to play bass in The Dead Boys a well established punk band from New York. ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! Jeremy Borntrauger is back in the band. We are going through a few changes, Jeremy and I have decided to start playing half sets in which He plays bass on one half and lead guitar on another, and I will do the same. Some of our new material will be with dual guitars and no bass, I guess were trying to be artist now instead of balancing in between the accepted norms.

Mark Robels: Born in Pica Rivera, California on August 15, 1984. He moved to Paradise, California in 1991 and has lived there since, besides the occasional job oppertunity in which he has lived in Bakersfeild and all around the Bay Area. Mark grew up in Paradise doing what most of the wasted youth do, getting screwed up, skating, and playing music, since that's all the town has to offer besides suicide and teen pregnancies. He learned guitar, bass, and drums in his teenage years and soon after he was about sixteen began writing his own songs. In October 2007 Mark and long time friend Tom Couch began Jamming out material that would eventually become the first few Roaring 20's Hate Machine songs.

Tom Couch: Born in Sacramento, California on July 9th, 1986. Where he lived before moving to Paradise, California in late 1999. In Paradise he became a recluse, spending most of his days reading and writing. In 2001 he got his first electric guitar and hasn't put it down since. He started his first band, Longevity with his long time friend Chris Juhl in Late 2001. Longevity has enjoyed moderate success, has played all around the north state, local radio play for nearly 3 months straight on Z-Rocks 15 minutes of fame during the release of their first record-Beware of the Monkey released in early 2004, and later on signed to local indie label Vibetone Records in early 2007. He is also a published writer with countless articles published. He founded The Roaring 20's Hate Machine in early September 2007 after his former band Longevity went on hiatis. It started out as a solo act until in October 2007 he had his long time friend Mark Robles join the band as it's drummer. Prior to joing the Hate Machine Mark hadn't really played drums, so to both of us this has been so much more then just music, it's been based on the foundation of our musical and personal growth over the last year. He came up with the name during a documentry on the late 20's pre-depression Era, in which they refer to Nazi Germany as a "Hate Machine", he just liked the word play of the name.

Jonathan Summers was born on July 12th, 1987 in Paradise California. He is the youngest of us but has knowledge well beyond his years. His style of music is very aggersive as well as progressive often pushing those of us around him to be better. In early 2006 he joined Longevity with Tom Couch and chris Juhl, he departed the band in Late 2007 due to creative differences. Since then he has been in numerous projects, all of which are as innovative as his style.

In March of 2008, The Roaring 20's Hate Machine went to madison wisconsin and the surrounding communities to promote the Depressor LP, and has returned home to California. As of July 1st 2008, we will begin recording a full record, we don't have any names pegged out for this project yet so it's currently under the code name depressor. There will be songs from the Depressor LP included on the record itself. Those songs will most likley be, Godbless the USA, Stay Clean, I'm Falling Apart, and The Depressor track itself. We are going to re-record some of the vocals, and most likley a couple of the songs entirely. Currently our set has grown to twenty or so tracks. In late July we are scheduled for a few shows, one b-day party, and a couple of out of towners. As soon as any dates are set in stone they will be posted, and we would be pleased to see ya come out to see us ROCK!!!! More news to come in August, until then my friends keep it clean!!!!

The roaring 20's hate machine is recording their first full length record. The record is still in the early stages but the recording sessions are due to begin as early as June 30th, 2009. As details emerge they will be posted.

The Roaring 20's Hate Machine has been writing new material for our new album which we know by the code name "Electric Fever". This record is going to be very experimental for us as a whole, since none of us have ever spent more than 24 collective hours on any of our previous recordings. We are aiming to capture our raw un-altered sound, as of late we have finally captured the drums as we would like to hear them on the record, so in retrospec we are laying down the drum tracks currently. We still don't have any realistic completion date for the record since we are still in the begining stages of the recording process but that shall change in the coming weeks as we work on it more.
