If The Doors got locked in a garage with Fontaines D.C., the Flaming Lips and IDLES, and Syd Barrett stood outside screaming his last scream through the keyhole, you'd start to capture the sound of Machineries of Joy. Formed in Exeter in 2018, this alt-rock/indie/psych four-piece blends spiky guitars, driving rhythms and snarling poetry into something raw, wired and impossible to ignore. Their name, borrowed from Ray Bradbury, hints at their obsession with the fragile and the furious--the small mechanisms that keep people moving, even in a chaotic world. Their irrepressible post-punk urgency and psychedelic sprawl has seen them play prolifically across stage of the South West.
