SIOP! SIOP ROCKS
SiOP was formed in the summer of 1999 and on the rise ever since. They are an intense, multi-racial, multi-gender, high energy live band with many different styles combined in to one. Displaying unique vocals with in your face lyrics, raging guitars and a pumping bass complimented by a strong, solid with a groove style back beat. "No other heavy progressive style comes close to their ability to rock you and mesmerize you at the same time." John Foxworthy Garage Radio

SiOP had the opportunity to meet Lajon and Morgan of Sevendust and received much praise for their album, "It Starts With One."
SiOP released their second album "Abnormality" in April of 2006. This album proves the growth and diversity of this powerful, hard hitting band that refuse to compromise. "We are who we are, it is obvious we write for ourselves in hopes the industry will catch on and see our vision." SiOP does not write one style, one format, they write what they feel and speak what they know and have experienced. Their music mirrors the attitudes of each member of the siop family. The album is self produced and recorded with Byron Filson at Villian Recording based out of Phoenix, AZ. This album, this band is one to be reckoned with.
