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 ↴
Well
Take a look around my head
Look at all the things you said
Freedom comes to those who pay
You'll get yours some other day
Round and round inside my wheel
Lost and torn is how I feel
Sand run dry, why can't I heal?
Wrong is right, why can't I feel?
Kill my brother in my eyes
Rain falls down on the other sky
Freedom comes to those who pray
Mine won't be back today
Round and round inside my wheel
Lost and torn is how I feel
Sand run dry, why can't I heal?
Wrong is right, why can't I feel?
What goes around, comes around again
Round and round inside my wheel
Lost and torn is how I feel
Sand run dry, why can't I heal?
Wrong is right, why can't I feel?
Well, well, well, well
The lyrics in Breed77's song Karma portrays the idea that actions have consequences. It suggests that if you do harm to others, harm will come to you in return. This theme is evident in the line "what goes around, comes around again" which emphasizes the idea of karma.
The first verse highlights the idea of freedom coming at a cost, implying that a person needs to work hard to achieve the freedom they desire. The second verse delves into the pain and confusion that one experiences when they feel lost and torn. The idea of wrong being right and not being able to feel is expressed in the line, "wrong is right, why can't I feel?" This suggests that sometimes the lines between right and wrong become blurred, causing confusion and making it difficult to distinguish between the two.
The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the message that actions have consequences and that karma will catch up with you eventually. The use of repetition in the song's structure emphasizes the message of the song and drives the point home to the listener.
Overall, the lyrics in Breed77's song Karma are insightful and thought-provoking, suggesting that individuals need to be mindful of their actions and the consequences that come with them.

I still listen to this. ❤️
@mousemetal1679
What a badass song!
@skeletalwreck
It's an absolute travesty that this video does not have over 1 million plays. It's a sad joke that 15 years in it's currently sitting at a mere 7k views. Unbelievable. This song is from a golden era of modern metal that included the likes of One Minute Silence, Earthtone9 etc.
@LelinakiFTW
Perfect song!! You are The best Band in the world :)
@TheAnalPunisher
One of the most exquisite nu-metal bands. Clean vocals sound a lot like Roland from Tears For Fears.
@kristianbarford
Supported Breed 77 at The New Adelphi in Hull years back as part of some Kerrang! tour or other. I think in fact it was our first live show, being something of a Hull metal 'supergroup'. Brilliant, packed gig, and spent the evening drinking grappa with the bassist. Which was fine. Aside from the fact we were all working from early the following morning.
@paynexkiller
Got any more of these? 🙏
@1994ThePhenom1994
The song is called "Kharma".
@johnparson
nope
@juanigd
Video y canción cojonudos, pero debo decir que me gusta más lo último que han hecho, y es que en cada álbum que publican mejoran lo anterior... y más en el último, que está en lengua cristiana... jajaja
