Former Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell was holed up in the studio with producer-of-the-moment Timbaland in early 2008.

At that period Jason Sutter and the other members of Chris\' band used their downtime to breath life into Run Through The Desert.

This outfit turns out to be more than a mere side-project, with an as-yet-untitled full-length album due for release this autumn.

Run Through The Desert claims to fuse elements of classic, psychedelic and alternative rock to produce an eclectic and hypnotic mix of pounding drums, blistering guitar solos, solid bass rhythms and melodic vocals.

Three exclusive preview tracks are available on their Myspace profile: www.myspace.com/runthroughthedesert.
