American Dream Machine (Band)

American Dream Machine (also stylized as ADM) is an American rock band from Virginia, formed in 2019 by Shawn Adams, Mitch Lobuglio, Evan Milowic, and Scotty Murphy. The group released their first single "Bad News" the same year, followed by "New Apocalypse", "Dead", and "Still Breathing", before putting out their freshmen album "DEADHEARTS", towards the end of the year.

History
The band was formed sometime in 2019, as all four members already knew each other and had been working with one another on musical projects. Eventually, the four decided to form American Dream Machine, and spent some time writing and recording the music for “DEADHEARTS”, eventually finishing the album altogether.

In early 2020, the band began releasing singles from their upcoming album, of which the release date had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, ADM’s first music video premiered on August 1st, 2020, to accompany the single “Dead”, while a video for “Still Breathing” released on October 17th, 2020.

On December 7th, 2020, the band’s official Instagram page posted a 20 second teaser for their debut album (DEADHEARTS), featuring a brand new song that was entitled “Trapped Under You”, with that same teaser popping up on their Twitter on December 9th, and the teaser also being posted to their official Facebook page.

“DEADHEARTS” was officially released on all major music platforms in December 18th, 2020, featuring 6 new and never-heard songs from the band.

On November 8th, 2021, ADM announced on their official Instagram page that had finished production on their untitled second studio album.
