Machine 22

Machine 22 is a garage rock band from Minneapolis, MN. The band was formed in early 2009 by singer/songwriter Jack Swagger (ex-Soviet Machines) and Ben & Nick Pelowski. After several stints with fill-in drummers, Karl Schmidt joined the group later that year to round out the 4 piece. The band signed with Indie punk rock label DC-Jam Records released their debut album Off The Record in summer 2010. The album's release show was a huge success, selling out the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis. Later that summer, they traveled to California to shoot a music video for their song "Citizen Zero", which debuted on BlankTV.com. They toured and gigged relentlessly throughout 2011, playing over 150 total shows, including Summerfest, South by Southwest, MN State Fair, and St. John's Block Party.
