Model Engine

Alternative Rock
Santa Barbara, California, USA

Model Engine was an alternative rock band based in Santa Barbara, California. Prior to 1997 the trio, consisting of Jeremy Post, Brad McCarter and Brent Nims were known as Black Eyed Sceva. Confusion over the meaning of the name and its constant mispronunciation led the band to change its moniker when drummer Erik Herzog replaced Nims prior to the release of the group's third album. They disbanded in 2000.

Influenced by artists as diverse as The Police, Rush and Uncle Tupelo, Model Engine's music was a blend of alternative rock, grunge, and progressive rock. All of the group's albums were recorded and released under the 5 Minute Walk label and produced by Bruce Winter, an associate of Toad the Wet Sprocket.

As Model Engine, The Lean Years Tradition (1997) continued the band's exploration of dark themes, including Christian martyrdom (“Hang You Upside Down”), prostitution (“Reeperbahn,” based on the band's experiences in Hamburg) and pornography (“Anonymous F”).
