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.
Calling Out
Breed77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why?
Why?
With a glass I cut my hand
Will it help me understand?
Will you let me in your room?
Your room, your room, your room
Open up and you'll see with your eyes
With your eyes, with your eyes
Calling out
Does no one hear me?
Calling out
Can no one hear?
Why?
Why?
Why?
When I cry I feel alive
I'm alone, I'm in a crowd
Will you cross my palm with your love?
With your love, with your love
With my pride
My iron lung
Understand that it's all in your head
In your head, in your head
Calling out
Does no one hear me?
Calling out
Can no one hear?
Calling out
â??Cause no one hears me
Calling out
No one hears me
Calling out
Can no one hear me?
Calling out
Can no one hear me?
Calling out
â??Cause no one hears me
Calling out
No one hears me
No one
Listens anymore to me
No one
Listens anymore to me
The Breed77 song "Calling Out" is an emotional and introspective piece, which speaks of feeling unheard and unappreciated. The opening lines with the repetition of "Why" portrays the singer's desperation and frustration in trying to understand their situation. The line, "With a glass, I cut my hand" may indicate a desire to feel a physical pain to alleviate emotional pain. The singer begs for someone to let them into their room, possibly seeking comfort or connection with others.
The chorus is repeated throughout, with the singer acknowledging that no one seems to listen to them anymore. The line, "When I cry I feel alive, I'm alone, I'm in a crowd," suggests that the singer finds solace in their emotions despite feeling isolated. The final lines of the song, "No one listens anymore to me," highlight the disconnect they feel with the people around them.
Overall, "Calling Out" showcases the struggle of feeling ignored, while simultaneously identifying the importance of owning and expressing one's emotions. The song emphasizes the value of human connection and how even small gestures of love and understanding can make a world of difference.
Line by Line Meaning
With a glass I cut my hand
I hurt myself to see if it would bring me clarity
Will it help me understand?
I hope that by causing myself pain, I'll gain understanding
Will you let me in your room?
Can I open up to you, and will you be accepting of it?
Your room, your room, your room
Metaphor for the inner space of a person's mind or heart
Will you hide behind a smile?
Are you pretending to be happy when you're not really?
Open up and you'll see with your eyes
If you allow yourself to be vulnerable, you'll understand things
With your eyes, with your eyes
Again, eyes serve as a metaphor for seeing and understanding
When I cry I feel alive
Emotional release is the only time I feel anything
I'm alone, I'm in a crowd
Even when surrounded by people, I feel disconnected
Will you cross my palm with your love?
Can you show me affection or care in some way?
With your love, with your love
Love is another potential source of understanding and connection
With my pride
I struggle with letting go of my ego and being vulnerable
My iron lung
Reference to the Radiohead song, probably just as a metaphor for something that's keeping the singer alive
Understand that it's all in your head
Realizing that your distress comes from your own thoughts can be a step towards healing
In your head, in your head
Repeating the phrase emphasizes the point that our thoughts can be very powerful
No one listens anymore to me
Feeling ignored and unheard by others
