Formed in 2000, through friendships forged around Salt Lake City’s Kilby Court DIY music and art scene, THE NEW TRANSIT DIRECTION began with modest goals: To write dynamic rock songs in the vein of Jawbreaker, Burning Airlines, and Jawbox, and to express these songs in honest ways through both emotive live shows and the best recordings possible. Then, get in the van and turn on the rest of the world. They’ve been following that steady diet of write, record and tour for the past two years.
