When Saints Go Machine was formed in 2007 and debuted with their self-titled EP in 2008. In May 2009 they released their debut album Ten Makes a Face. Their most popular songs are "Fail Forever", "You or The Gang" and "Kids on Vacation".

In 2010 the group opened the Orange Stage at Roskilde Festival.

When Saints Go Machine signed a contract with the German record label K7 Records in October 2010 for publications outside of Scandinavia.
