Honest Engine: original rock funk music
Honest Engine formed in 1994 and recorded their debut CD COMBUSTION in 1995. The hit single 'Turn Out The Sun' was dubbed by X96 KXRK the 'Most Requested Local Song' of 1996. COMBUSTION was also crowned 'CD of the Millennium' by The Event newspaper. Honest Engine's second CD, OVERHAUL featured a heavier, stripped down, rock sound. The CD was greeted with unanimous praise from local critics. After their Western Tour, Honest Engine returned to the studio to record their third CD, 'High Octane' due to be released this year. 
The Flat Earth: experimental rocktronica
The Flat Earth teeters on the edge of the familiar and the unknown, simultaneously comforting and corrosive. Juxtaposing traditional instruments like the dobro against the modern Chapman Stick. Drum machines wrestle with african percussion while acoustic guitars copulate with fuzz boxes. Like rampant mutants these terribly beautiful 'Rocktronica' creations lurch out into the world.

Mr. Sunshine: americana roots rock
Mr. Sunshine is the alter-ego of Tres Jones. Tres is a singer-songwriter that has been active in the Salt Lake music scene for some time. The Mr. Sunshine album 'Estranged' has garnered excellent reviews locally and featured the creative contibutions of many local prominent Salt Lake artists. Diverse players from diverse bands came together to create a cohesive collection of Americana-tinged rock that feels like a well-loved quilt. 
Points West: a blast from the past
Points West was formed in the early 80's by Tres Jones and Cram. This band played extensively around Salt Lake and surrounding regions throughout the 80's and early 90's. The long lost EP 'Tumble Down' has never been available until now. A backup copy of the erased master tapes was found and then re-mastered. Points West was heavily influenced by the region where they were formed. Many songs were written around the campfire or in small rustic mountain top cabins. The music evokes the distinct western flavors of dusty breezes, red rock, and leather. Rumors of new material have been circulating, check back to see if the rumors are true. |
