Disinformation Machine is a four-piece metalcore band from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Disinformation Machine writes and plays original music that fuses many different styles and elements. They incorporate influences from all genres of heavy music, ranging from emo to death metal. Disinformation Machine’s creative vision is to write and perform heavy, abrasive, emotional, intelligent music without the gimicks and bravado that usually accompanies heavy music.
Disinformation Machine is always writing new songs and challenging themselves to do something that they have never done before. Disinformation Machine places no boundaries on themselves when writing songs. They have even been called “The most original band I’ve seen†by a local music critic. DM currently has ten original songs that they perform live, which translates into about an hour long live set.
Disinformation Machine formed in 1998 and has been playing shows ever since. They bring a level of intensity and energy to their live show that is hard to match, and it is in this setting where Disinformation Machine’s music is truly effective. DM’s live performances have gained them a reputation as “a band not to miss†in the Green Bay/ Fox Valley area. They have played countless gigs all across Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota. They have even performed with such diverse national acts as Primer 55, The Color Red, and The Spoozys.
In 2002, Disinformation Machine recorded and released their self-titled, 5 song demo CD. Since then, they have sold over 500 copies of this demo via live shows and their website. Disinformation Machine has also been added to the playlists of several Wisconsin radio stations that feature unsigned music, despite the fact that their music isn’t necessarily considered “radio rock.†Disinformation Machine was one of the top five Wisconsin bands on Razor 94.7 WZOR’s 2002 end of the year countdown.In 2004, Disinformation Machine's first full-length album, "Etchings", was released. However, due to the hiatus of the band, only 2 shows were played to promote the album, yet over 150 copies were sold. The last show Disinfomation Machine played was a co-headlining show for Razor 94.7s Local Edge Fest.The future is uncertain with certain members (well..just Chris) talking reunion.
