Crush Machine

Emerging from Jacksonville, Florida, CRUSH MACHINE blends the shadowy textures of '90s alternative rock with a modern hard-rock intensity. Featuring brothers Scott and Ben Smith alongside Caleb Hiett, the band crafts a sound built on down-tuned guitars, layered distortion, haunting melodies, and relentless rhythms. Drawing inspiration from Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and The Smashing Pumpkins, CRUSH MACHINE creates music that is both brooding and explosive—balancing darkness, power, and raw emotion. Their debut album introduces a bold new voice forged from grit, atmosphere, and uncompromising energy.
