Utopia Factory is a band that doesn't quite fit into one of the cookie-cutter styles you find in the mainstream. These four "sevillanos" break free from labels and boxes, combining an awesome array of pop-style tunes with good old rock and roll. Clich as it may sound, they're a band with a unique style and personality.

In 2003, Adolfo Fernandez teams up with his friend, producer Jesus Chavez, to record a few tracks that would later on become the first demo, The Same Bubble. The excellent results of this demo would make the duo reunite in 2004 for another demo, No Labels. Two more musicians joined the duo for this recording session, drummer Pepe Benitez and bass player Agustn Pina. The guys start doing self-promotion, sending their new demo out to as many people as possible. In spring 2005, Jose Antonio Abellan, a DJ for the most popular morning radio show in Spain, La Jungla, hears their demo and plays it on air. The songs get an awesome response from the people at the station and the show's listeners, so Abellan invites the band to play live on La Jungla. The flood of positive feedback following this event inspires the guys to join forces as a real band and record their first studio album.

Despite being a Spanish band, Utopia Factory's songs are all in English. It has nothing to do with trying too hard or being pretentious, the fact of the matter is that the muses seem to be English-speaking at the moment, which is not to say they won't someday write material in Spanish. Another key element in their inspiration is the bands that influence them, mostly English-speaking bands, such as classics like The Beatles and modern-day pop-rock groups, like the Foo Fighters.

The entire album was recorded at El Pelicano studio (Seville) and produced by guitarist Jesus Chavez. It was mixed by Eduardo Ruiz Joya, who's worked with artists like Ariel Rot, Andres Calamaro, Fabula, O'funkillo and many more.

Utopia Factory are currently playing as many gigs as they can and their first album will be out in stores in July 2006.
