Paul DiBartolo (guitar), Rob De Luca (bass) and Tommi Gallo had all been in a band called Bang , and when they met up with vocalist Ray West in New York, Spread Eagle was born. The group was quickly signed and sent into the studio. Tunes for the debut album had to be written while recording was taking place. The self-titled debut featured a razor sharp guitar sound as well as some explicitly sexual lyrics, demonstrated through songs such as "Back On The Bitch" and "Scratch Like A Cat."
By the time work began on the follow-up, Gallo was in and out of the band. Session musicians recorded most of the drums on Open To The Public. For this album the group had toned down their lyrics and even went so far as to say people misunderstood the lyrics on the debut album. The album was a bit of a disappointment compared to their previous effort, and after the tour, which featured Dave Femia on drums, Spread Eagle broke-up.
In 2006 Rob De Luca and Ray West reformed Spread Eagle. Their debut album which had been out of print for over 10 years was remastered and re-released by the independent label Lovember Records. They started touring in 2006 with Chris Caffery on guitar and John Macaluso on drums. There were only a few shows.
They found new guitarist Dennis Kimak and Rob De Luca returned to New York from touring with Sebastian Bach and UFO. In December 2010 Rik De Luca drummer and cousin of Rob De Luca joined the band and they toured throughout the Northeast of USA. Their debut album was voted as one of the top 20 glam albums of all time (along with Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Hanoi Rocks and Skid Row): In 2012 guitarist Dennis Kimak quit and was replaced by Ziv Shalev who played the first 2 shows with Spread Eagle in December 2012.
In 2017 Spread Eagle confirmed several tour dates in Europe, including the Hull Metal Heaven and HRH Sleaze festivals. Following their UK/EU 2017 tour, they signed to Frontiers Music SRL and started writing and recording. Their latest album 'Subway To The Stars' was released on August 9, 2019. The music video for the first single "Sound Of Speed" features the band members in a go-kart race with an unexpected ending. It was filmed in the Poconos, PA and directed by Phil Allocco (The Truth About Lies).
Australian drag racing team West Coast Pro Modifieds chose "Sound of Speed" as their official song for the 2019/2020 racing season. The Australian Spread Eagle fan club honored this by creating a "Pro Mod Edit" of the video, where the go-kart race sequences were replaced with real drag racing footages. Subway To The Stars was included in many best of 2019 polls, including the Top 5 hard rock releases on Ultimate Guitar and Top 20 albums of 2019 in both the Sleaze Roxx readers' voting | and The Rock Pit Australia. In July 2020 Spread Eagle released a lyric video for the track "More Wolf Than Lamb"

It's about the artist's relationship with alcohol, as the band have openly stated
Eoin
on Back On The Bitch
In Spread Eagle's song 'Back On The Bitch', the lyrics describe the singer's tumultuous relationship with a woman who he refers to as a 'two-faced witch'. The song begins with him lamenting about how this woman keeps him up all night, and how despite hating her, he feels like he has to let her into his life. The lyrics suggest that the woman is manipulative and enjoys causing trouble, as evidenced by her habit of digging her nails underneath his skin.
The chorus of the song is a repeating refrain that highlights the singer's inability to resist this woman's allure, even though he knows it is not in his best interests. He describes this feeling as an 'itch', which he compares to being a 'son of a bitch', implying that he feels powerless to resist her. The final verse of the song suggests that this woman is just one example of the many 'bitches' that exist in the world. The singer seems to be saying that everyone, including himself, has some sort of weakness or addiction that they struggle to control.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Back On The Bitch' describe a dysfunctional relationship with an addictive and destructive woman. The words are raw and gritty, reflecting the heavy rock style of the music.
