After six years, Madison, Wisconsin's HUM MACHINE has released three full
length albums and two seven inch singles. HUM MACHINE has sold a total of
5000 combined copies of their three albums.  All three received extensive air
play in the college radio market and ended up charting in Gavin and CMJ. The
highest chart came from KCWU in Ellensburg, WA at #4.

HUM MACHINE'S fourth album, NO JOY IN MUDVILLE (Cancer Records), promises to
be their best effort yet.

HUM MACHINE has played a total of 441 days and driven tens of thousands of
miles to connect with their fans in their six years of existence. Despite
wearing out two Ford Econolines and a Chevy bus, HUM MACHINE continues to
tour the U.S.A., pushing themselves -- and their fourth vehicle -- even
harder on the nation's highways to support NO JOY IN MUDVILLE.

HUM MACHINE was catapulted onto the national scene when their first record,
Speed Kills The Dying Beat, was released in 1996. The record did surprisingly
well on Q101 in Chicago, IL and quickly earned favorable review Billboard.
HUM MACHINE went a different route on their next release, The Trance Voltage
Solution. Innovative radio editing and strong guitar hooks made the album a
favorite of many clubs and DJ's, while the album successfully charted in the
Top 30 of over 100 college radio stations. In the spring of 1999, HUM MACHINE
released its third full-length album, Pay Victrola, which channeled the
frustrations of a hard traveling band into the energy bursting through the
seams of the recording.

And now, with NO JOY IN MUDVILLE, HUM MACHINE promises to give the
proletariat a new look into something thicker than gristle and better than
the common day.  The album features 12 carefully crafted songs that are
strong on melody and high on octane. "It's a great change of direction for
the band," said guitarist Eric Geving, who has assumed most of the
songwriting chores. "It's a sound, copious sense of what we were always
trying to do."

HUM MACHINE's goal is to continue to tour and record, and so, like The Great
White Buffalo, the band continues to roam the plains, never to be lost in the
herd.
