History

The early beginnings of Head Automatica has always been in frontman Daryl Palumbos head as something he always knew he was going to get done. Experimenting with hip hop production and computer sequencing, it took many years for him to finally get this project off the ground. Due to his day job in Glassjaw, everyone thought it was impossible -- they thought wrong.

Their debut album, Decadence, was released in August 2004. Charting on the Billboard Magazine top 200 albums and Top Heatseekers charts, the album was the brainchild of Palumbo, who was known better for his work in the hardcore music scene, and Dan 'The Automator' Nakamura, famous for his DJ work with groups including Gorillaz and Handsome Boy Modeling School. The two allegedly met at a party and worked on what later became the album. Palumbo then recruited the other current members as a touring group, and toured the United States, playing with bands like Interpol, The Rapture, Mogwai and The Used.

The band is set to release a new album, entitled Popaganda, on June 6th, 2006. While the first album was produced by Nakamura, the new album is instead being produced by Howard Benson, who is best known for his involvements with alternative rock acts like P.O.D. and Cold. With the departure of Nakamura, the band has taken a more organic, classic power-pop approach citing Squeeze and Elvis Costello as influences.

The "Pop Rocks" EP was released April 6, 2006 and featured four tracks from the upcoming album: "Graduation Day", "God", "Nowhere Fast", and "Laughing At You". It is available only on the iTunes music store, until May when it will be released to the rest of the digital music stores.

Right now the band will be on tour until May 20 with Avenged Sevenfold and Coheed and Cambria, and will be joining Taking Back Sunday and Angels and Airwaves for a month of touring, starting June 22.
