Piston Honda Bio

Memphis is already known for their considerable amount of talented blues artists such as Alberta Hunter and Memphis Slim, but soon enough it'll be known as the city where a band named Piston Honda was born. Consisting of Jake (vocals), Jason (guitars), Patrick (bass), Ed (drums) and Adam (guitar), Piston Honda meshes with elegance, coherent doses of post hardcore, new metal and emo, giving birth to an intense soundscape that builds itself chord by chord into a gigantic musical skyscraper of power and emotions.

The music featured on the band's debut album, "Paradigm Shift", which was released in 2000, demonstrates a distinctive ferocity, reminiscent of bands such as Quicksand, Helmet and even Fugazi. As a result, the band quickly caused a buzz, not only locally, but also inside the music industry. The buzz was enough to call for the attention of Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl's fame, who recently recorded a 3 song demo with the band, in his own home studio in Atlanta, GA.

You just can't go wrong with Piston Honda. You want heaviness? It's there. Emotion? It's there as well.... but overall, what you'll mostly find while listening to them is the talent and competence that their music transpires. Hear it and love it.
