Syruss are currently a 3 piece rock band from Plymouth, writing and playing original material. We are looking for a replacement guitarist to fill the 4th spot, created when Nath quit the band due to work commitments. If you're interested, get in touch.
We have been together since July 2008, but sadly due to the above and a few other problems we've had some delays. In 2010 we are aiming to do what we love to do: playing loads of live gigs and recording. We've recently added some newer recordings to our MySpace player.
Russ is self-taught and started playing and writing his own songs when he hit double figures, He left his first band in 2006 with a view to forming a new band. However, finding new musicians took longer than was first anticipated. Always one to see the good in a situation, Russ used this time to write new material and generally develop his playing style.
This was a very creative time - writing and playing and learning new tricks. During this period Russ collaborated with anyone and everyone and eventually hooked up on an informal basis with Jack Griffin (aka "JTC" ). This pairing of Russ and JTC formed the early nucleus of what was to become "Syruss".
Over time, the loose association between JTC and Russ changed into something more permanent and saw JTC the drum warrior join up and help define the Syruss "wall of sound".
With a more permanent arrangement between Russ and JTC in place, rehearsals got underway. Choosing songs from Russ's catalogue that would work for the emerging "Syruss", Russ and JTC were by now getting together regularly at the Devon farmhouse occupied by Jack and his family. Cattle in the nearby fields were seen moshing to the strains of the new songs taking shape and blasting out of the open windows... the joy of not having neighbours.
Andy brings an exhilarating blend of funky slap and big presence, which works well alongside the powerhouse that is JTC and the full on spine shattering assault from Russ.
