  1. Mystical Rock & Raw Truth: Machine Poetry on Music, Scorpio Energy, and AI Rebellion

    Mystical Rock & Raw Truth: Machine Poetry on Music, Scorpio Energy, and AI Rebellion

    Send us a text In this electric, soul-stirring episode, Yogi sits down with three-fourths of Florida’s most exciting new alt-rock force — Machine Poetry (Steph – lead vocals/rhythm guitar, Eddie – lead guitar, Kim – drums/second vocals). Fresh-faced, fearless, and barely over a year old as a band, these young artists are already turning heads with their hypnotic blend of heavy riffs, Doors-style mysticism, poetic lyricism, and Eastern-tinged atmospheres.We dive deep into:How a high-school acoustic duo collided with hardcore and metal influences to birth the “machine” + “poetry” paradox The Scorpio intensity behind Steph’s veil-of-mystery songwriting and Jim Morrison obsession Why Nirvana, Kurt Cobain’s vulnerability, and rediscovering music during lockdown lit an unquenchable fire in all three members The spiritual side of art: transcendental vibes, the Bhagavad Gita, chakras, wish-granting jewels (“Cintamani”), and music as modern-day kirtan Their fierce stand against AI-generated music and the belief that only human suffering, joy, and madness can create real soul Upcoming album plans, touring dreams (“book us under a bridge!”), and the wild clown-persona post burlesque shows they play . Plus — the band closes the episode with three breathtaking, one-take acoustic performances of their originals that left the room speechless (and will leave you hitting repeat). If you crave new music that feels like a ritual — dark, hopeful, heavy, poetic, and profoundly alive — this episode is your new favorite discovery. Perfect for yogis seeking higher vibration through sound, and for anyone hunting the next underground band that actually matters.Stream “Noise…” and “Machine Poetry” everywhere now.  Full debut album coming 2026. Come see them live — West Palm, Lake Worth, and beyond — because you cannot experience this energy through headphones alone. Turn it up. Breathe it in.
