Machines Dream

Machines Dream are a progressive rock band whose material brings together melody, atmosphere, heaviness and well crafted songs.

The band is Craig West (Vocals, guitar, bass), Brian Holmes (keyboards, bass), Ken Coulter (drums) and Keith Conway (lead guitar).

Machines Dream formed informally in 2009 out of regular jam sessions with Craig, Brian and Ken just for the sake of playing the kind of music they loved. They began writing, and in 2010 added Keith to fill out their sound.

The band will cite groups such as Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Opeth as well as a lot of classic rock as influences. Brian has a metal background, Keith has a degree in classical guitar, Ken's zen backbeat grounds the band, and Craig is the jack of all trades joining them together.

Machines Dream wear their influences on their sleeves, but that doesn't stop them from composing new music, experimenting with new sounds and writing songs they hope people will find meaningful.
