Honeywell were a band, active in the early 1990’s. They were pioneers of a sound that would be called “” 10 years later, besides bands like Sleeping Body and Reach Out.

At the root of Honeywell was a group called Subterfuge (Not to be confused witht the early 1980’s band) and later (briefly) Hardboiled and it included Ryan Elliot, Terry Holmes and Jimmy Lewis.
