Normally at Punktastic towers we turn our noses up at anything with less than three tracks. Vinyl, however, is another story, and is something we’re always happy to give a bit of coverage too. One of the latest shiny black records to land through our letterbox is this self titled two-track effort by The Machines Will Take Over. Driving, melodic punk rock is the order of the day here and is something the band showcase both on ‘I thought about a romantic meal for two’ and ‘Talking to mirrors’. Whilst the production is a little ropey in places, both tracks are very listenable. The vinyl also comes encased in a nicely styled cardboard sleeve, and if you add that to the strength of the two songs, this proves to be a nice little set.
