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 Jess 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 Bentez and bass player Agustn Pia. 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 Jess 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 could be found in stores from 15th July.

Utopia Factory es una propuesta diferente que no se pierde en el mar de cuadriculas que a todos los niveles conforma el panorama musical actual. Y es asi porque estos cuatro sevillanos se despojan de todo tipo de etiquetas para sorprender a base de melodas accesibles, que transmiten y transportan. A veces revestidas de luminosas guitarras pop y otras del eclecticismo rock ms sentido. Siempre con personalidad y carisma.
Todo comienza cuando a mediados de 2003 Adolfo Fernandez decide contar con la ayuda como msico y productor de su amigo Jesus Chvez para grabar unos temas que terminaran siendo la primera maqueta del proyecto, The Same Bubble. La buena acogida de la misma provoco que a finales de 2004 Jesus Chavez volviera a grabar y producir una nueva demo, No Labels, ya con Pepe Bentez a la batera y Agustin Pina al bajo. Comienzan a publicitarse y mover las grabaciones en este 2005, pero el punto de inflexin llega cuando en primavera, Jose Antonio Abellan, tras pinchar sus temas en antena, los invita a presentar sus canciones en directo para el espacio La Jungla de Cadena 100. La gran acogida y repercusin que tiene su trabajo tras ese bautizo radiofnico a nivel nacional, provoca que se precipiten los acontecimientos y decidan grabar su primer disco. A partir de ese momento se constituyen como banda de cuatro miembros, que tras algn cambio en la formacin termina siendo la misma que grab la segunda demo del grupo.
Utopia Factory cantan en ingles, sin premeditacion ni pretensiones que vayan ms alla de hacer buenas canciones, aunque lo mismo manana lo hacen en castellano, si asi lo dicta la inspiracion. Sus influencias van desde The Beatles a Foo Fighters, y no quieren ni oir hablar de estilos a los que adscribirse. Su mejor credencial es su musica. El disco se ha grabado integramente en el Estudio El Pelicano, Sevilla. Ha sido producido por el propio Jesus Chavez y mezclado por Eduardo Ruiz Joya, que ha trabajado para Ariel Rot, Andrs Calamaro, Fbula, O'funkillo y un largo etctera de grandes artistas.
Actualmente, la banda dedica su energia a los directos, y a defender desde los escenarios su primer disco, que está a la venta desde mediados de Julio.
