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.

The title is a re-wording of the name of the protest rock group Rage Against the Machine, who were nearing the height of their popularity at the time of this release.[citation needed]

On 25 November 2022, a double-vinyl reissue was released, featuring 4 songs and a spoken-word poem from the original concerts that were excised from the original CD release.[1]
