Free Machine, a passion-driven music project forged by two sets of friends united by a shared love of '90s grunge, is thrilled to release their new single, 'The Comedown', alongside a lyric video. The track is a standout from their recently released debut album Dead Echoes, which pays homage to the iconic rock sounds of the MTV era.

Free Machine isn’t your typical band. Comprising four former gigging musicians who have left the touring scene behind, this group embodies a deep, authentic love for the music of their youth. Inspired by the sounds of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Temple of the Dog, Big Wreck, and Pearl Jam, Free Machine’s music is a time capsule of grunge nostalgia.

"Creating this album was about challenging ourselves to craft songs we’d want to listen to," shares the band. "It’s about recapturing the spirit of throwing on a cassette or CD and rocking out to something real and timeless."

What makes Free Machine’s project truly remarkable is their approach. The entire album was created remotely, with all four members writing, jamming, and recording independently. Despite the distance, their shared passion and a clear vision for ‘90s-inspired rock resulted in a cohesive and striking debut album.

Built on a hypnotic, groove-laden riff reminiscent of Soundgarden’s raw energy and Alice in Chains’ haunting depth, "The Comedown" explores themes of release and self-expression. “The chorus puts you in a dream-like state, contrasting beautifully with the attitude-loaded verses,” says the band.

Lyrically, the track reflects a rebellious yet laid-back perspective on personal freedom. "It’s about tuning out the noise of judgment and just enjoying the little moments of release," explains Free Machine. "Whether it’s unwinding after a long week or escaping the pressures of others’ expectations, the message is simple: do your thing and let others do theirs."

Free Machine emphasizes that this is a project built solely for the love of music. There are no grand tours, massive promo pushes, or endless marketing campaigns—just a group of musicians creating music they’re passionate about and sharing it with like-minded fans.
