Originating in Windsor, Ontario, the band is comprised of one person: Frontman, Lyricist and Instrumentalist Trent D'Amour. Born in Lake Orion, Michigan, Trent, the son of a mechanic and a nurse, learned to play piano at a young age by banging the keys along to the radio. Ever since he was a boy, he knew there was a place for him in the music industry. Even while working two jobs at a car wash and as a janitor in a mental hospital, he found time for music, recording demos in his basement at night, playing all the instruments himself. In 2011, he was finally able to secure some recording time and session musicians, but it was not meant to be. Plagued by writer's block and unsure what direction the music was going in, the project, then called "Noisescape" was abandoned. But now Trent is starting anew with SHADOWMACHINE, and is looking to secure a recording contract and start on his path to stardom.

Lyrically, though, it's a bit darker. "I grew up in Lake Orion, Michigan," says bandleader/lyricist Trent D'Amour. "I can safely say that if I hadn't moved up to Windsor, I'd be a redneck. It was the best choice I had if I wanted to keep myself sane. The song touches on that; what it's like to be...ashamed, almost, of where you're from. Not that I'm necessarily ashamed of coming from Lake Orion, but the people there never clicked with me. I was never into the macho things like cars, budweiser and taking advantage of women. So this song is a product of both that and the general state of the world." The song begins with an industrial/EBM sounding synth line that continues for most of the song. After the beat plays out a few times, Trent's vocals come in, his voice reserved and soft. johnny's an american, and he likes his dope johnny's an american, when he's cut he bleeds coke johnny's an american, you can tell from his eyes johnny's an american, he likes to watch people die The synth line becomes drenched in flanger and Trent's vocals become shouted, powerful and angry as he sings the chorus, i'm an american, i'm the face of the world i'm an american, i'm not just some little girl i'm an american, explosive culture shock i'm an american, look at the size of my cock The laid back beat returns, Trent's voice sounding almost afraid, hushed, but with a bitter, disgusted tone to it. why put faith in america, you're just wasting time you can drink your beer, i'd rather swim in mine all those fucking tramps, i still can't spare a dime and i'm gonna snap if they ask one more time The chorus comes back, Trent's shouting getting more enthusiastic with each line. i'm an american, i'm the face of the world i'm an american, i'm not just some little girl i'm an american, explosive culture shock i'm an american, we really know how to rock A slightly more relaxed version of the main beat comes in, and Trent's vocals return to a quiet, sedated sound for the bridge, although he breaks through and shouts the last line, johnny's an american, and he really likes to heil johnny's an american, ain't been a lynching in a while johnny's an american, looking for something to hang johnny's an american, rides with his american gang johnny's an american, he bleeds red white and blue johnny's an american, and he's watching you The chorus comes back in and is repeated, Trent sounding more frantic, i'm an american, i'm the face of the world i'm an american, i'm not just some little girl i'm an american, explosive culture shock i'm an american, we really know how to rock i'm an american, i'm the face of the world i'm an american, i'm not just some little girl i'm an american, explosive culture shock i'm an american, look at the size of my cock i'm an american i'm an american i'm an american i'm an american and i'm so guilty yeah, i'm so guilty yeah, i'm so guilty i'm so guilty, yeah SOUNDS LIKE:

Most beer tastes like shit. If I'm going to drink, it has to be strong enough to put me out or sweet and girly enough for me to actually enjoy it.

All reissues will have corrected artwork. If you've got a copy that says SHADOWMACHINGE, then hold onto it because they're not gonna be making it anymore. - Trent

Maybe in 20 years people will pay thousands for a copy of the Shadowmachinge single. I can only hope. ooc: i saw the pink cover version of walk among us at a flea market for like 10$. i didn't have enough so i just went home and cried. on a completely unrelated note, i went to a devin townsend concert yesterday and some douchebag knocked me over in the pit and i dislocated my knee.
