Ghost in the Machine is formed in Milwaukee by 3 talented individuals: Mike 'Face' Kern (bass, programming, vocals), Chris 'C4' Weerts (vocals, programming, guitar), and RJ 'DJRJ' Thompson (vocals, guitar). The band fused rock and electronica music in 'Rocktronica'. The sound was a powerful blend formed by Aggro punch of modern rock, metal and hard rock, Goth's moody atmosphere; and the post-modern approach of industrial, techno, and electronica.
