“Unstoppable Death Machines, a band of sociopaths so depraved, they require a new genre name. We respectfully nominate ‘Skull-Fuck Punk.’”

“Unstoppable Death Machines are a bass and drum power duo—born in Queens, based in Brooklyn, and bent on branding their version of grimy, bombastic, and aggressive style of modern rock music that has yet to shatter eardrums and dance floors world wide. Armed by brothers—Mike and Bill— a penchant for punk rock and a habit for hooks, The Unstoppable Death Machines offer a sonic catharsis while blending more avant-garde sensibilities and big beats for grooving dance floor shakedowns, while keeping to their family trademark: a frenzied sound that is both sweeter than candy and louder than bombs.”

“The two sweat-drenched, fang-baring young men in Unstoppable Death Machines come soaring in from the bass/drums/aggroglop tradition of Lightning Bolt and Japanther, but seem to care less about holding scene kid cuddle parties and more about slamming brews and drawing blood. Says drummer Billy, “The original, underlying concept of Unstoppable Death Machines was to be a space jam noise odyssey, infected with punk rock, rage, weed, beer, and more noise.” In that sense, their debut 7″ is a rousing success–four blown-out, bass-chuggin’ fuckitalls in seven damaging minutes (sample song titles: “Quit Your Whining And Shut Up,” “Head Trauma”) all etched to nasty little clear vinyl shard. The 7″ was recorded to two-inch tape in two days, and compiles four of the nine songs they played live with no overdubs, fueled (by their account) by lots of coffee and one giant joint. “Slumlord” is about exactly what you think it’s about. Subsequently it taps into a very New York sense of bloodlust and disgust–like an Unsane record filtered through 10 years of post-Brooklyn Technicolor fun.”
Village Voice
“Defecting from Queens, the dynamic brother combo Unstoppable Death Machines have made the move over the Greenpoint Bridge official, becoming influential Brooklyn underground wheeler dealers in the process. This two-man tornado has released a spastic four-track EP that captures their raw intensity with a hearty slice of the untamed nature this tandem’s music delivers. Sculpting their noise rock meanderings from grunge skeletons with oodles of chances to groove out, this act specializes in servicing ears with dollops of heavily-effected bass with off-kilter rhythms that sound like a cross between Jesus Lizard, Lightning Bolt, Hella, and Butthole Surfers, comfortably making uncomfortable and unconventional rock music.”

“Upon entering Death By Audio, we were greeted by a delightful sludge-racket called Unstoppable Death Machines, with a set-up basically equivalent to that of Lightning Bolt (drummer and bassist, effect-laden vocals through mics strapped right on/in the mouth). However, the music isn’t so much Lightning Bolt-esque beyond that. Sure, it’s heavy and blasted with distortion, but Unstoppable Death Machines rely far less on complexity and speed than their older Rhode Island counterparts. Instead, they base their music off of simple, crushing riffs. That’s not to say there isn’t a high level of musicianship, but just that these songs would be learnable to most bassists – Lightning Bolt’s music, not so much. While not the greatest or most original band on earth, UDM were pretty delicious. They want to rip your face off.”

“Unstoppable Death Machines exude sheer terrifying bliss in rock duo format, strapping on face mics and spazz-grooving out in loud-as-fuck jump jams. For fans of Mindflayer, Harry Pussy, even some Faith No More.”
