The Spoils band members are all from Motherwell and have played with various other bands for the past 7 years. The band started with Stephen Sweeney, Martin McLinden and Michael Valente at the start of 2006, when we spent several months writing, practising and generally finding our sound. We tried a couple of singers out with varying degrees of success.
Paul Martin joined the band on vocals around 6 months ago and brought the right voice for our songs, a stage presence and a knowledge/appreciation for music which took our songs to a new level.
Our music is driven and melodic. Melody has always been a priority for us in song writing and each tune has a solid beat with a different feel in every song. In The Spoils, there are four talented musicians who now have a maturity to hold back at times for the benefit of the song.
We have recently recorded a 2 track demo (which you can hear on our page), at the Foundry in Motherwell. Our plan now is to record a 10 track album and try to be in control as much as possible, before pushing for a record deal. As well as this, we are currently organising gigs in our local area, Glasgow and eventually England.
