About Tin Machine

Tin Machine was a rock band formed in 1988, fronted by the legendary David Bowie. The group also included guitarist Reeves Gabrels and brothers Tony and Hunt Sales. Tin Machine was a significant departure from Bowie's solo work, aiming for a rawer, more aggressive sound. The band released two studio albums and a live album before disbanding in 1992, marking an experimental phase in Bowie's career.

Tin Machine's lyrics tackled a range of intense and serious themes. They often explored human vulnerabilities and addressed the resurgence of racism and the normalization of fascism in society. This thematic focus was a sharp contrast to the more personal and introspective lyrics found in Bowie's solo work, reflecting the band's urgent and confrontational style.
