Honest Engine, original rock funk music

Honest Engine - original rock funk music

Honest Engine formed in 1994 and recorded their debut CD COMBUSTION in 1995. This CD sold extremely well on a local level propelled by the single 'Turn Out The Sun.' X96 KXRK eventually dubbed the song the 'Most Requested Local Song' of 1996. It remains a popular MP3 download. The CD COMBUSTION sold out of 2000 copies in only a few months and was recently crowned 'CD of the Millennium' by The Event newspaper. Honest Engine appeared in and had songs featured in the Fox movie 'Terror in the Family,' this movie starred Academy Award winner Hilary Swank. The adventure sports video Cycles also featured music from COMBUSTION.

Honest Engine then spent two years building their own recording studio and preparing songs for their follow up CD, OVERHAUL. This CD featured a heavier, stripped down, rock sound. The CD was greeted with unanimous praise from local critics. This praise had double the significance since the CD was recorded entirely at Honest Engine's Studio, Friction Studios.

After their Western Tour, Honest Engine returned to the studio to record their third CD, HIGH OCTANE which has not yet been released.

If, I was a better man
I, never had to use my hand
genetic letter on my varsity sweater
anyone but me

ugly sneaky always been freaky
scary to my friends
til my friendship ends
simply doggy no prince I'm froggy
blackboard and nails
till my friendship fails

If, I was Einstein
had his brain, not mine
so much better
at dirty letters
anyone but me

If, I was the king
or maybe James Dean
even better
could be Eddie Vedder
anyone but me
