Eagle Ex Machina is an alternative rock band founded by multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Matt Cook-Contois to combine his love of rock music with his traditional fiddle upbringing. Based in Vancouver, Eagle Ex Machina’s sonic signature features a heavy approach, instrumental proficiency, and songwriting variety.

Created in 2020, Eagle Ex Machina was formed to capture the musical identity Matt developed throughout his career. The band’s soundscape pays homage to and draws on influences such as Foo Fighters and City and Colour, while incorporating a modern approach to Canadian fiddling.
