DISTRICT 97 is undoubtedly the most musically adventurous rock band in the world to feature an American Idol Top 10 Female Finalist. The band now returns with their second opus Trouble With Machines. With her fantastic voice, and looks to match, Leslie Hunt has captured the imagination of the male-oriented prog rock scene. Complexity is one of the hallmarks of District 97’s compositions but the album is laced with catchy vocal melodies. The track “The Perfect Young Man” features a guest vocal appearance by KING CRIMSON/ASIA bassist JOHN WETTON. RICH MOUSER who has produced albums for SPOCK’S BEARD and NEAL MORSE mixed the album.
Today Noisecreep is hosting an exclusive premiere of DISTRICT 97’s new video for their song “Open Your Eyes”:

Trouble With Machines is available to order on Amazon, iTunes and via The Lasers Edge.
DISTRICT 97 will be going on tour this October in support of Trouble With Machines. A complete list of dates can be found below.
Building on the strengths of their first release Hybrid Child, DISTRICT 97’s sophomore album Trouble With Machines pushes the envelope even further, and solidifies DISTRICT 97’s position at the forefront of uncompromising Rock music.
