MACHINE GUN FUNK

Hailing from Orlando, FL, Machine Gun Funk (named after a Notorious B.I.G. song) continues to solidify their status in the underground metal community. The quintet's style combines elements of thrash and doom metal with the intensity of hardcore, creating a blend of groovy galloping rhythms and powerful organic drums.

Formed in early 2008 by vocalist Jared Kimble, guitarist Kaelen Doughty, guitarist Jesse Jones, bassist Mike Dusek, and drummer Brandon Graham, M.G.F. began jamming house parties and parking lots. The band recorded a five song demo in early 2009 and began honing their skills in various Central Florida rock venues. Machine Gun Funk is currently recording their first EP with Screamhouse Media!

We've got a long way to go before the EP is done but winning this contest would put us two huge steps closer to fulfilling that goal. We feel that we definitely bring a unique sound to the table without stepping too far outside of our niche. We've all worked very hard together for the past 2+ years to the point that we all moved into one house in order to maximize practice time and minimize cost of living. We're just some regular guys from all over North America that are dedicated, determined and willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish our goals. "I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk." Thank you to Screamhouse and good luck to everyone!!
