Already renowned for their long membership in A Perfect Circle, McJunkins and Friedl first came together at auditions for Ashes Divide in 2008, a band led by Billy Howerdel (of a Perfect Circle).^[2]

In addition to performing together in The Beta Machine, A Perfect Circle, and Tool, Matt McJunkins has also played with Thirty Seconds To Mars, Jeff Friedl has performed with Devo and Filter, and the duo have also played with Eagles of Death Metal.^[5][6]

The name "The Beta Machine" is an homage to the future-focused, high-energy sound of the band. Having already worked with Claire Acey (vocals) and Nicholas Perez (guitar/keys), McJunkins and Friedl asked both to join The Beta Machine’s lineup.

While all four band members continue to work with other bands on existing projects, The Beta Machine represents an outlet to continue to experiment creatively—a "conglomeration of their personal and cooperative influences to achieve a singular sound that thrives on evolution and their shared experience as collaborators."^[7] According to Friedl, "We just had such a good rapport with each other. The ideas flowed nicely. There weren't any ego problems along the way."^[8]

The debut release from The Beta Machine was the All This Time EP in 2017, five tracks that showcased the band’s progressive rock soundscape. Fans of the band members’ other musical endeavors found exciting new sounds from this project unbound by traditional expectations. “It’s hard for any artist or band to exist outside of a bubble,” says McJunkins. “They get pigeonholed pretty easily into being known for one thing. We’re trying to create a wide range so we don’t fall into those traps.”^[9]

The Beta Machine’s debut album Intruder will be released on March 29, 2019 by T-Boy Records/UMe. Singles from the album include “Embers,” released on February 1, 2019, and “Someday,” released February 22, 2019. “Embers” features the harmonious vocal union of Matt McJunkins and Claire Acey, paired with driving percussion, ambient synths, and atmospheric guitars. “Someday” is a guitar-driven, optimistic track with just the right amount of distortion. Once again, McJunkins & Acey’s vocal blend stands at the forefront of this single.

The Beta Machine performed as the only opener on A Perfect Circle’s arena tour 2017 (meaning McJunks and Friedl played back-to-back sets at each tour stop).^[10] This diet of regular live performing, songwriting, and artistic collaboration means near constant creative evolution for the band members. In a 2018 interview at Rock On The Range, Matt McJunkins said, "Basically, whenever I'm not busy doing something with another band, I'm doing that—I'm working on something with The Beta Machine."^[11]
