Calgary stoner rock quartet Denimachine is charging forward with the unveiling of their second single, "Tornado," the latest taste of their upcoming sophomore EP, "Perfect Illusion," due out November 27, 2026 via Grand Hand Records. A longtime fan favorite in the band's live set, "Tornado" finally receives the studio treatment it deserves, delivering the fuzz-drenched riffs, driving grooves, and high-octane energy that have become hallmarks of the Denimachine sound.

The release of "Tornado" follows the first single "Filthy Lucre" and the announcement of their forthcoming EP "Perfect Illusion," a four-song collection that captures the band's evolution since their self-titled debut EP. Produced and mixed by Scott Giffin and mastered by Stuart McKillop at Rain City Recorders, the EP spans both the band's oldest and newest material in their catalog; the record showcases a more mature and adventurous songwriting approach while preserving the head-bobbing heaviness, massive hooks, and groove-driven foundation that fans have come to expect. Incorporating psychedelic textures, dynamic arrangements, and expanded sonic exploration, "Perfect Illusion" represents Denimachine's most refined and ambitious work to date. The EP will be released digitally through Grand Hand Records and will also be available as a split vinyl release with fellow Canadian riff rockers Riff Ratt.

"We think this new EP will be received really well! It’s been a while since our last release, and we’ve grown a lot as a band. The new songs offer a more mature version of our sound with some more experimental and spacey grooves than the first EP while maintaining the same head-bobbing heaviness. We hope our following fans and new fans alike will want to listen to it over and over, whether it's chilling out or ramping up!" adds the band.

Formed in Calgary, Alberta, in 2017, Denimachine consists of Trenton Bullard (guitar/vocals), Scott Charles (guitar/vocals), Brady Side (bass), and Kevin Ross (drums). Emerging from years of friendship and experience in notable local acts including Throne of Vengeance, Frankie McQueen, Falcon, and MANcub, the quartet built its reputation on massive riffs, infectious grooves, and the undeniable chemistry that comes from years of playing together. Blending influences from classic hard rock swagger with modern stoner-rock weight, Denimachine creates music built equally for festival stages, long highway drives, and late-night garage sessions.

Recommended for fans of Queens Of The Stone Age, Black Sabbath, Wolfmother, Graveyard, and TruckFighters, "Perfect Illusion" arrives November 27, 2026, digitally via Grand Hand Records, along with the EP on a Split Vinyl with Riff Ratt.
