Indie rock is saturated. What's the use of another band?

The Who

The What

The What

For those who waded through the indie glut and made the discovery, Cheating Machines (the project and anonym of Eric Bibeault) delivers songs with movement, energy, and intensity.

The What

The What

The What

With fuzzed-out guitars and copious hooks, Cheating Machines is an homage to indie rock’s past glories, without being nostalgic. Songs crackle with a forward-thinking energy, propelling them into the future.

The How

The What

The How

Cheating Machines' songs speak through lyrics that are a combination of surreal, cryptic, and stream of consciousness. Their songs are anthems for the disenchanted, odes to the outsiders, and rallying cries for the non-conformists.
