The Automatics (band)

The Automatics are a Filipino pop rock supergroup consisting of Vince di Mattia (Trouser Architects), Mark Blaise (Underground), Alex Nadir (The Case, solo artist), and Nathan Victor (Alcius).
The Automatics were formed by co-frontmen Vince di Mattia and Mark Blaise in 2027. They became friends when Blaise's band Underground opened for Trouser Architects during the Asia leg of their Change the World tour.
== Formation ==
In February 2027, di Mattia posted that he and Underground's Mark Blaise would record an album with Alcius member Nathan Victor co-writing and playing drums. First Division's Nicasia was originally supposed to be the bassist, but she was eventually replaced by Alex Nadir of The Case. The group was named The Automatics by Blaise as a mockery of di Mattia's inability to drive manual transmission.
== False Light (2027) ==
In October of that same year, the band released False Light, their debut studio album. Riverfront reached #1 on Philippine charts, also charting in 15 other countries. They went on tour throughout 2028 in support of the record.
