Spite of Life
The members:
Spite of Life is Dave Schroth from Wyandotte on vocals, Jason Garbinski from Lincoln Park on guitar, Joe Wallace from Wyandotte on bass, John Ryan from Southgate on drums and the band’s newest member, Adam Ison, joins on sounds and samples.
The history:
The band came about in the fall of 2000, consisting of Garbinski, Wallace and Ryan. As they began constructing new songs, the search for a vocalist brought them to Schroth, who was looking to form a band in October of 2000. After meeting Garbinski a month later, Spite of Life’s lineup was finally complete and ready to go. Ison was added to the fold last winter.
What's up with the name:
"Spite of Life means in spite of all the little bumps, beatings and bruises life gives you, you’re still there," said Schroth. "After all, if you were to give up, the element had beat you."
The style:
"Our music style has been called anything from hardcore to emotional," Schroth said. "(Our) influences include just about every kind of music, excluding polka. "There is no real sound we are going for, we just want to let out our emotions through music in a chaotic orchestra."
Got anything recorded?
The group has a five-song demo available, which is free for download on the band’s official Web site www.spiteoflife.com {No Longer In Service}. With plans to head into the studio to record a full-length album soon, the site is where you can stay updated on its latest happenings, including shows, news and merchandise.
Tell us your future?
"We look to come out strong expanding our fan base," said Schroth, adding that plans to perform in Boston and Chicago are in the works as well. "We would like to play for some of our fan base which reaches from California to Hawaii, gained through a wonderful and dedicated street team."
Thanks for your time.
