The band consists of Paul Isola (vocals, percussion), Danny Felice (guitars), Pedro Caparros (guitars), Stuart Cavilla (5-string bass) and Andre Joyzi (drums).
In 1998, Kerrang! readers voted Breed 77 the 'Best Unsigned Band'. In 1999, they won both the Metal Hammer and Kerrang! awards for the best new band. Then in 2001 they signed a five-album deal with Albert Productions, the renowned Australian publisher of AC/DC.
They have five studio albums, 'Breed77', 'Cultura', 'In My Blood (En mi Sangre)', 'Insects' and the compilation album 'Un Encuentro', with features Spanish versions of songs from the first three albums, plus the bands latest album to date ‘The Evil Inside’ which was 25th March 2013.
On 28 August 2013, lead vocalist Paul Isola announced his departure from the band due to personal circumstances, detailing that he would not be participating in the band's upcoming summer tour. He revealed that his replacement would be Rui Lopez, who would be completing the lineup for the four dates and joining the band thereafter. Following this, it was announced in early 2014 that Paul Isola was to rejoin the band for a newly announced 10th Anniversary tour for the album Cultura. After the success of the first anniversary tour in March 2014, a second leg was announced taking in further venues across the UK, culminating in the band's final tour performance at The Exchange in Bristol in December 2014 . In 2015 it was announced that the band would headline Breaking Bands Festival in Bromsgrove that summer. Prior to the show there had been no public announcement that this was to signify the break-up or indefinite hiatus of the band, and cryptic statements by the band on stage left many fans confused as to their future. Over the following years, the activity of the band as a whole was largely unknown. Vocalist Paul Isola returned to his homeland of Gibraltar, forming a multi-media production company. Guitarist Danny Felice and bassist Stuart Cavilla relaunched their project The Heretic Order, recording a number of EPs and albums and touring across Europe. Guitarist Pedro Caparros López began working on a new project titled L’Anima and performed a number of tour dates across the UK as well as recording and releasing new material. Drummer Andre Joyzi carried on working in a number of positions in the music industry, firstly continuing to run a number of music venues in London, and then going on to work as a drum tech and tour manager for a number of artists across the world including Dragonforce and Cradle Of Filth. In 2017, after much radio silence and comments on the bands social media pages that the band was ‘done’, they were announced to headline the Gibraltar National Day Festival that September. The one-off concert - which saw the return of original bassist Stuart Cavilla and former drummer Óscar Preciado Zamora - drew a massive crowd, filling Casemates Square and was broadcast live on Gibraltar TV and streamed online across the world. A number of years silence from the band followed, with members continuing to work on their separate projects; occasionally sharing updates about their respective projects on Breed 77’s social media channels. After the Coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, vocalist Paul Isola returned to the public eye for the first time in almost 3 years, performing a livestream of a number of songs as part of the Gibraltar Live At Home sessions. In the months that followed, guitarist Danny Felice also featured in the program, fuelling speculation that the band would shortly be reuniting. In early 2021 increased activity was noticed on the band’s Facebook page, with cryptic videos appearing and the launch of an Instagram account for the band. After a 48 hour countdown, on 10 February 2021 the band released a new music video and recording - recorded remotely by the band members - of an acoustic version of the bands 2004 track A Matter Of Time. A statement from the band accompanied the release of the video, signifying that Breed 77 had decided to ‘awaken from their slumber’ and that new music and a number of multi-media releases were on the horizon. Whilst the statement said that the band may not be able to perform live together with an audience at the current time, it is implied that plans are on the cards for a tour in future. As of February 2021, the full lineup of the reunited band has not been confirmed publicly, however it is thought based on the music video released that the band will consist of vocalist Paul Isola and guitarists Danny Felice and Pedro Caparros López with any other members currently unknown.

Breed77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the mirror
Until the day I smell your breath
On my pillow
Until the day I turn to grey
I will be calling
Until the day the lies come back
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I will be waiting
â??Cause I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
I am the one who fell to Earth
While lying on a cloud
I am the one who brought you truth
When you were living lies
I am the one who took the blame
For all your failings
I am the one who took the pain
That's why I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I will be waiting
â??Cause I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
Was always inside
I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
Was always inside
I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
Was always inside
Was always inside
The lyrics of Breed77's song "Breaking The Silence" express the intense longing of the singer to find a certain person. The phrase "Until the day I see your face in the mirror" implies that the singer sees the face of the person they are looking for every time they look at themselves. The second line "Until the day I smell your breath on my pillow" is a metaphor for the painful absence of the person, as if they should still be there on the pillow with them. The chorus "I'll be waiting here" is repeated three times to emphasize the persistence of the longing and waiting.
The next stanza shifts the focus of the song to the singer's sense of being misunderstood or not fitting in. He says that he is the one who fell to Earth while lying on a cloud, which possibly refers to feeling isolated and out of place. He is also the one who brought truth to someone who was living in lies, indicating that he may have tried to help someone see the truth about themselves. The lines "I am the one who took the blame for all your failings / I am the one who took the pain" hint that the singer may have been in a relationship or a close friendship that ended badly, and he took the responsibility for it. The chorus is repeated again, and the song ends with the same phrase "Cause I was always inside."
Overall, "Breaking The Silence" is a deeply emotional song about longing, isolation, and the pain of being misunderstood. It is likely that the lyrics are autobiographical and reflect the experiences of a person who has been through a traumatic relationship or a personal crisis.

Until the day I see your face
In the mirror
Until I come face to face with the painful memories of you in my own reflection
Until the day I smell your breath
On my pillow
Until the day your perfume fades from my bedding
Until the day I turn to grey
I will be calling
Until I grow old and weary, I will always try to reach out to you
Until the day the lies come back
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I will be waiting
Until your deceiving ways catch up with you, I will be waiting patiently for your moment of reckoning
I am the one who fell to Earth
While lying on a cloud
I am the one who stumbled to the ground while still having faith in you
I am the one who brought you truth
When you were living lies
I am the one who spoke honesty when you were consumed by dishonesty
I am the one who took the blame
For all your failings
I am the one who shouldered the burden of your mistakes
I am the one who took the pain
That's why I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I'll be waiting here
I will be waiting
I am the one who suffered the consequences of your actions, and that's why I am still willing to wait for your inevitable downfall
â??Cause I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
Because my love for you always ran deep within me
Was always inside
I was always inside
â??Cause I was always inside
My deep affection for you was always present, no matter what

@joekerwildeDBJ87
So annoying that the majority of their albums aren't on YouTube, not even their own official channel...
Band is a lost gem. 1st band I've seen live just after Cultura was released & they'd started working on Insects...
Performed their version of Zombie & played The River a 2nd time as an encore for a few of us. They were absolutely amazing to see live.
