Eureka Machines are a British pop rock band based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, who formed in 2007.[2] The band consists of Chris Catalyst (also of The Sisters of Mercy[3] and The God Damn Whores) on lead vocals & guitar, Davros (aka Dave) on guitar & backing vocals, Pete Human on bass guitar & backing vocals and Wayne Insane on drums.[4] Described as "power pop" by Classic Rock magazine,[1] they are something of a cottage industry, putting out their own records and being self-managing and self-promoting[5] while also touring and gaining press coverage and airplay at a national level.[6]
