Just three more weeks until Modestep‘s new album London Road is released for all to enjoy. The above is their first video release for the track “Machines” off the new album.
These guys have it all, from electronic beats, serious base, psychedelic synths and rock undertones … lest we forget the catchy vocals as well. Modestep proves the British can still pump out some sweet tunes. This band is comprised of brothers Josh (vocals, keyboards) and Tony Friend (DJ, guitar), Pat Lundy (drums) and Kyle Deek (lead guitar).
The video for “Machines” was co-produced and co-directed by Modestep. It features the band in a traditional rock band setup with white zombie eyes in front of an enormous TV screen–echoing the single’s man vs tech themes with frontman Josh Friend plugged into an IV drip.
Watch out world, these talented guys are about to kick out on tour.

I write like I think—fast, curious, and a little feral. I chase the weird, the witty, and the why-is-this-happening-now. From AI meltdowns to fashion glow-ups, if it makes you raise an eyebrow or rethink your algorithm, I’m probably writing about it. Expect sharp takes, occasional sarcasm, and zero tolerance for boring content.
