Machines Against the Rage is a live album released by Australian alternative rock band TISM. The album was initially released as a bonus CD with limited edition re-issues of Machiavelli and the Four Seasons, and was also released as a promotional CD with a bonus copy of the "All Homeboys are Dickheads" single. The album peaked at number 87 on the ARIA Charts in February 1997.
