The Devil Made Me Do It by Brand New MachineThe Devil Made Me Do It by Brand New Machine

“Rock is not dead. It cannot and will not ever die…” declares vocalist Brantly Thompson of the Texas-based anthem rock group Brand New Machine. Released in July 2013, their first full-length album The Devil Made Me Do It is filled with tracks inspired by the decadent lifestyles of 1980s rockers. The track “Girls Like You” certainly displays these leanings as does the cool rocker “Blackout Overdose”.
