In a matter of two years, Man The Machetes have gone from playing small venues in their former hometown, Trondheim, to playing prestigious festivals like Pstereo and Hove, being awarded 'Ukas Urørt' by the Norwegian radio broadcasters, NRK P3 (similar to BBC introducing - previous winners include KVELERTAK and BLOOD COMMAND), and support slots with bands like GALLOWS. ?
In August 2012, they traveled to Toronto, Canada to work with producer Eric Ratz (CANCER BATS, COMEBACK KID) on their album 'diokrati, which received excellent review across Europe.
?Starting out as five friends in an old German bunker wanting to play the music they love, they soon started mixing elements of hardcore, rock n' roll, metal, and pop to create unique party tunes sparkling with energy. Live, the band has made itself heard, building a reputation as an energetic and dedicated bunch that always give their best. Vocalist Christopher I. is often seen wriggling on the floor at the end of shows, screaming his guts out at everyday stupidity.
