The future is bright for this prog-rock powerhouse from Murfreesboro, TN. Members include Keegan Pavlovic (bass), Rob Knugg (keys), Ray Dunham (drums), Jeremy Pinell (guitar, vocals), and John Turner (guitar). After making a name for themselves across the Southeast (thanks to nearly 5 years of constant touring), The Incredible Heat Machine is poised to take 2010 by storm. They hang their reputation on their surprisingly original sound and their hard-hitting live performances, which have been known to prompt enthusiastic concert-goers to question the integrity of the floor beneath their feet.

Influences range from acts like Steely Dan, Pink Floyd, and Rush to more recent artists such as Modest Mouse, Blind Melon, and The Flaming Lips. The result of such a wide array of influences is a sound which echoes the golden years of classic rock, while still preserving staples of modern progressive music, such as inventive songwriting and turn-on-a-dime precision. Middle Tennessee is a tough proving ground with a wealth of talented musicians. Having a sound all their own is likely the main reason The Incredible Heat Machine was able to rise to prominence in such a densely-populated music scene.

Bright things are on the horizon for the guys from TIHM. Following the release of their highly anticipated second album, "Stories the Birds Had Told", The Heat is hitting the ground running. They continue to convert new fans, young and old, and are determined to bring their unique brand of rock to a town near you in the not-so-distant future. Get ready...
