Honest Engine formed in 1994 in Salt Lake City, UT, 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.
