SUPPORT: Sextile + Kumo99

ALL AGES

Machine Girl have always operated as an inimitable, inventive, and individual sonic

phenomenon. The newly trio’d—Matt Stephenson [vocals, producer], Sean Kelly

[drums], and Lucy Caputi [guitar]—fortify a punk exoskeleton with electronic alchemy

and cinematic ambition outfitted for an uncompromisingly heavy attack. Rave, metal,

punk, and pummeling electronic (and real) drums collide and splinter like shrapnel into

kaleidoscopic blasts of vibrant color and visceral sound.

After amassing millions of fans, hundreds of millions of streams, inciting critical acclaim,

and captivating at cap crowds in nineteen (19) countries YTD in 2025 so far, the band

continue to elevate on their seventh full-length LP, Psycho Warrior.

“I’d been reading analytical psychology and the writings of Joseph Campbell and Jung,”

recalls Matt. “There’s a concept of the collective unconscious and these archetypes that

we innately have. We adopt different personae in order to get through the day. In

essence, you complete yourself by facing your shadow self. To do so, you must accept

the less savory aspects of who you are. There’s a lot of validity to these theories. Right

now, we’re a very psychologically damaged culture and society. We’re being pushed

over the edge with social media and technology. Any chance of resistance against these

systems starts in the mind, so this was the genesis of Psycho Warrior.”

Machine Girl carved out an incomparable lane upon arrival in 2012. Stephenson’s 2014

full-length debut LP, Wlfgrl, achieved bona fide cult status shocked to life by “Out by 16,

Dead on the Scene,” “Ghost,” and “Mg1,” which reeled in north of 43 million Spotify

streams and counting. Their sound proceeded to completely reinvent itself across each

LP that followed - Gemini [2015], …Because I’m Young Arrogant and Hate Everything

You Stand For [2017], The Ugly Art [2018], U-Void Synthesizer [2020], and 2022’s

two-part Original Soundtrack for the video game Neon White. Most recently, 2024’s MG

Ultra incited the most enthusiastic critical applause of the band’s career so far. Pitchfork

professed, “Their music together plays like the soundtrack to the final boss level of

some finger-blistering bullet hell,” and Dazed mused, “it’s hard to imagine a better

soundtrack for the revolution than Machine Girl.”
