No, but we love each other Me and my little brother we used to fight all the time growing up But now that we're older we have that you know that unbreakable bond So it's awesome that you guys have that. How long have you guys been making music together? well since since 2005 as we the first gig was was in 2005 and We had the age of nine. Yeah We just we three and here can can you see can you see Joe? Yeah, that's the youngest brother. He joined the band and But we three we started in 2005 as an ACDC cover band because this was a what a good start for us and Since 2012 we make all songs. Yes, and we were just kids. Yeah, but not that creative at the moment Not that creative. So we don't need to talk about that songs and we don't play any of that songs today, but Yeah, that was the big start actually with a big the first big album 2019 19 Yeah, but but the first stop was 2005 to come back crazy 18 years Yeah Wow That's in the second That's pretty amazing spiral That's pretty amazing because you guys thank you you guys look young Thank you We are still young so we are still young 25 26 Yeah, you make this out. He's 16. He's 16. Yeah. Oh my goodness That's crazy. See because I always feel like ancient when I tell people I've been making music since since 2008 But you guys started a lot earlier than me That's because of our father's we haven't had the good Good start. Yeah, it's not an easy start because of our father's they make it possible for us musical background Of course, yeah, so the next question I was gonna ask you guys is is how did you get in to making music? So that's a pretty good question to follow up with so you can go ahead and give us a little background about your parents and whatnot How they got you into it? so the father of them and the father father of mine are still best friends late in the band many years and so they put the music in in our cradle into our cradle and Yeah, that's that's the starting point of for Spiro, I think so all taught by your family Yes, it's yeah, but without pressure. So we wanted to do it. Yeah, and they never said like you have to do it And if not, it's we are we are disappointed or something like that We always wanted it It's definitely it's man. I love music. I've always been into music since I was Super young when when all the other kids were playing with toys and Buying action figures. I'm trying to buy a new CD. You know, I'm asking my mom to buy me the new Michael Jackson CD So tell us where your name comes from Spyro, it's definitely a unique name especially with the Pound sign in the middle. It's different It's very different Do you want the official story or the in official we We want the The more entertaining story The more entertaining The correct answer to this question is Then we were young we don't we don't didn't know any English words something something like that and we thought Hey, that sounds cool and To be honest, there's no no deeper meaning There's no reason God gave us gave it to us. There's no yeah, there's no meaning That sounds cool, let's roll with it Yeah, it's working. It's working for you guys It's working and it's working for it in this now. So how many live performances have you guys done? Your hundred yes, yeah, I think so. I think that's yeah, maybe like 300 400. I don't know Wow We want more for taking a guess Tell us about the craziest thing that's happened at one of your guys's live performances This thing the craziest thing What's what's what's there? Maybe some technical issues? Yes, this is always crazy, but that's how it goes when We try to stay professional when that happens, but the craziest thing that ever happened Yeah, maybe I was a good question. We got a few Okay to say it a few Um Visitors on stage, maybe But to be honest, I like it because then we know we do our job code and Entertain the people people are getting into it. That's good Of course, that's good. So so how have things started to take off in the past year? I know that you guys are starting to get a lot of a lot of views on the videos and you're getting really good feedback Are our our things starting to grow? Faster this past year versus like the past 10 mm-hmm, well, I think a First album in 2019 that was a big kickstart Hmm for us or kickoff for us and then we went on tour was not so that's Hmm and as a support act and then network, yes, and then There was a time where we learned more that we want this and we want to go on with that But but but but but I think the key was that we That we never lost our our goal In times of COVID We worked hard we were in the studio. We took pictures. We wrote songs and that's the that's the key of of the of the of the viewers or the Public home the audience the audience today Yeah, gotta keep that We really want this this time really show that that we want to go on and we Could not wait when it when we can go on with concert and everything So we're very thankful that we can play concerts this year and last year. So Yes, but the real kickstart wasn't 2019 with the album. I think mm-hmm because as I said told you we Started as a cover band then we start with our own songs But that's we have to have to work on the songs with the time and 2019 We released the first real album that we were really proud of and so since 2019 We go the way to the top. He wants to go the way to the top since then so this Professionals this new release that you guys just put out. How's that going so far for you guys? Now we love it. We love it Yeah, we worked out for it. We have we spend a lot of time with our videographer He made amazing videos in my opinion and We love we love to see the the results of the hard work and we had a successful release show and this February I Must say that the quality of your guys's music is Really really top tier Thank you. Thank you. Are you guys going to a Professional studio to record or are you recording yourself? Yeah, we work with a lot of professional People in the in the in the business and We think it's an amazing quality of the songs and the videos and over all the pictures So we're very proud of it to be honest That's what I tell people a lot You know if if you want quality music and you want people to take you serious as an artist you you have to take Yourself serious as an artist and and and take that chance and you're right Invest because that stuff is expensive Studio time and high-quality videographers all of that stuff is it gets pricey It's good. It gets pricey, but if you have the contacts in the industry in the in the business You can make it You can make it. Yeah, make it happen. Can make it happen on the on the on the pricey scale On a shoestring budget What do you guys do during the day? Do you guys have actual jobs and families or are you just full-time rock stars with you know The raving fans and groupies following you guys around. What's it like for Spyro? Well, we would have to do a normal job besides the music But we're working on it that we can leave the normal job or and just make music and Yes, we I work at a warehouse with Tim. Yeah, and Yeah, it's just we just work to to to pay the things we have to pay for the band But we want to go the music way and we want to make music in the future and don't want to work in 10 years so we don't see ourselves as a With a big job career. We just want to be rock stars in 10 years Hopefully music is basically our passion and It's that thing that we want to do in life. I Think that you guys have a very high high percentage To make it, you know out of all the rock bands that have Not even just all the rock bands But just if all the music that I have reviewed in the past a two years going on two years I've been reviewing music and I've probably reviewed over 15,000 artists And you guys definitely have some of the some of the highest quality stuff man for sure. Thank you Thank you, ma'am. Thank you and not just the music just the whole presentation in general You know the high quality music videos and it's like taking me back to the 80s on MTV When they were putting all of the money into the music video production and just yeah You guys got some really really good things going on for sure So I want to we want to we want to embody the new era of this this kind of music And and make it on our own in our modern way way Who are some of your guys as big as inspirations? We have to say it because inspirations We started with ACDC we hear the lot today So we can great musicians. Yeah, we can have the success one day We are very very happy but did this will be a long way But a long way to the top a long way to the top. Yeah, it's a long way to the top It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. Yeah, but we take that long way So the younger band member that's Joe, right? Yeah, so right here. Let me hear from Joe. Joe. Who who do you listen to during the day when you're not? listening to Spyro What what music are you listening to? I think ACDC is the most really you guys are still listening to ACDC on a daily basis Pretty yes, and do you do you know great? I'm fleet. I agree that I'm fleet. It's my second band a favorite band all Rock music no other no other inspirations Just rock music rock out. Yeah, sometimes sometimes I think it's It's an advantage that you you hear something like radio music or rap music or something like that to get inspirations of it Yes, but that's but but Rock music is is it? Yeah point for sure for sure the only real music is rock music But we don't have that's a controversial statement man What I said, that's a controversial statement right there As everyone said it's not bad to use some some other kind of music you can get your inspirations from But you always have to Stroll plan stick to yourself to stick your stay true to your sound for sure.

Trying to get together and start something or maybe a group of guys that play cover songs That's trying to transition into original songs. What what advice or Inspiration could you give to a up-and-coming rock and roll band? Well, I think it is important to do music with the rights guys Yeah, so because We we can't make music with other guys. It just work in that constellation So I would tell someone to to looking for the right guys the guys who have the same dream the same the same opinions the things and yeah, all Band members have to follow the same path the same goal and maybe Yeah, that's that's the way to go Yeah, to be to work together as one and that not only and it's not about only one guy and In the band who got a dream and the other guys don't want it more wanted that much as this that I want it So I think it's all about to do music with the rights boys Or people is there a front man? He's the front man. He's the front man. Yeah Sorry That is what I thought but you know a lot of bands will be like oh, there's no front man We're all the front man or There's a difference between front man and a one-man show we know one-man show but I'm I think I'm the front man as a singer. Yes. I'm on the microphone So I would I think I can call myself the front man, but we are no one-man show Because there's always a part that I'll show you know when Tim play make the solo.
