New Jersey’s BOY MEETS MACHINE are preparing to release their new album War Horn and on July 24th.   Today AltPress.com the online home of Alternative Press Magazine is hosting an exclusive stream of a new track from War Horn.  Get a first listen to the song “Fast Forward to the Future” HERE.

Guitarist Christian Colabelli commented on the premiere of “Fast Forward to the Future” on AltPress.com:
“To have our song premiered by Alternative Press signifies a milestone for BOY MEETS MACHINE. We are honored to have our presence recognized by one of the last standing, viable music magazines.”
BOY MEETS MACHINE began in 2008 with two cold-blooded-country bamas (singer and bassist, Joel Monet and guitarist, Mike Mentz) relocating from Huntsville, Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia, where they entered the burgeoning local music scene Hell-bent on success. They quickly formed the first incarnation of the band.

The addition of Joe Nivare has resulted in a barrage of blistering live shows with a whole new demographic of fans being amassed.  The band released its first EP entitled, In a World of Wireworks, a challenging collection of pop laden, genre bending, musically complex songs and have in turn etched their own brand of progressive rock music. Their upcoming full length, War Horn, due out in July, boasts thirteen roaring tracks spanning the sonic spectrum. There is something for everyone on this release, as it contains elements of metal, prog-rock, jazz, funk, and alternative blended with a savvy pop-sensibility. Vocalist, Joel Monet soars over a whirlwind of intricate guitar work and polyrhythmic drumming, and expresses songwriting maturity well beyond his years. The album is sprinkled with blistering fusion-shred leads courtesy of Colabelli, and doused with subtle textures woven by Mentz. Nivare’s deft drumming ability along with Monet’s groove oriented bass playing makes for a fearsome bottom end. War Horn definitively blazes its own trail in a stale rock environment desperately crying out for innovation. BOY MEETS MACHINE is sure to turn heads with this release.
