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 ↴
The truth hides behind all these walls
In the end reality
Will let you be who you can be
Will let you be who you can be
Will let you be who you can be
Will let you be who you can be
Will let you be who you can be
In Breed77's song "Voices," these lyrics are sung in the chorus repeatedly: "How much do you think you know? The truth hides behind all these walls. In the end reality will let you be who you can be." These lyrics seem to be questioning the extent of someone's knowledge and understanding of the world around them. The phrase "truth hides behind all these walls" suggests that there may be hidden or unknown aspects to the truth that they are not aware of.
The following line, "In the end reality will let you be who you can be," seems to suggest that eventually, the truth will be revealed, and a person's true self will come to light. It could be interpreted as encouraging personal growth and self-discovery, urging the listener to be true to themselves and embrace their identity. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of introspection and reflection, encouraging the listener to question what they think they know and to strive towards self-discovery.

Such and underrated band. Breed 77 is such a treasure. Loved the change in lyrics to reflect the bullshit going on since 2001. Stop the proxies.
@Egzackt
This is better than the latest cover by Bad Wolves. Sad these guys didn't get the same blow up.
@xavier6134
because they are not cunt like bad wolves taking advantage of the sinead death to make money i saw breed77 1 time in live its a great "little" band and they are really nice too
@JonasHyldgaard
first off, i think bad wolves cover hits the common taste better than breed77's.
second, @Xav donating the money earned on the cover to Dolores' kids isnt "taking advantage" or "making money off" of her death.
peace!
@__Stitchy
@@JonasHyldgaard The Cranberries didn't hit the common taste either. And I'm not saying Bad Wolves are sellouts or something, but it's easily possible to donate to charity AND ALSO sell out
@jakee5463
i said similar when i heard bad wolves' verson. \m/
@alexbliss9353
I came here to say THIS!! I agree 100%
@aslapiana
The song / message transcends time and carries a powerful message. The artists make you not only hear it, but feel it. Beautiful cover.... it kicks serious ass!
@BNTER
