Evil Scarecrow return with their new single “The Future Machine” released yesterday, Monday 11th August 2025. This is the latest single from the forthcoming album Silicon Tea due for release in October 202. The band will be launching a Kickstarter campaign for the physical release shortly.
The Future Machine is a love letter to the 80s, taking us back to simpler times, dripping with dystopian nostalgia and sprinkled with Evil Scarecrow’s staple humour and style. When asked to explain this track Dr. Hell said:
In today’s crazy world, it’s important to consider an age-old debate: With the impending threat of WW3, Trump being a big old shite and I dunno, global warming, it’s time we tackle the toughest question of them all, which was the best decade?
Well, clearly it was the 80s. We also had the impending threat of WW3, Trump was undoubtedly doing shite things and global warming was here to stay. We had hair spray that literally destroyed the ozone layer. Cool times. So cool we thought we should jump on the “Stranger Things” band wagon and krank out some 80s Nostalgia. For a change, we threw some robots in.
So, if you love 80s rock and metal, lame movie references, and robots (again) then this song will make you horny like an 80s teenager watching Weird Science. But hopefully less inappropriate. What were they even thinking? Man, the 80s was so wrong. Glad we didn’t write a song about it…
We all take a moment to reflect, and Kraven Morrdeth adds “I f**kin’ love movies”.
