“A brilliant new edgy band the market is gasping for breath for. Strong writing and execution that cuts right to it."
Gordon Loncaster, Virgin Radio Classic Rock

 “I dare anyone to listen to Kyro and not find their songs lodged in the brain.  Indie/pop/rock at its best.”
Jon Patrick, TotalRock

The powerful rock/pop sound of Kyro was born in 2001 out of a number of South London rock bands, with Ian George on vocals, Matt Fairman guitars, Terry Blyth on bass and Chris Jarrold drums. Nic Slack joined in Jan 2015 on keys to complete the line up. Terry left the band in October 2005 and was replaced by Max Faulkner on bass.

Varied musical influences such as U2, Massive Attack, Blondie, Duran Duran, Radiohead, The Red Hot Chili Peppers & Nirvana led to such a distinctive sound and image that the band’s regular gigging went down a storm. Their infectious blend of melodic vocals, powerful guitar hooks and soaring synth lines, combined with an energetic visual show left audiences across the country gasping for more.

This powerful live reputation earned them a place on the UK National Music Network tour, as part of the ‘Underground Sound’, sponsored by NME and developing new UK original music talent. Summer 2015 saw them play festival dates, including a massive Earl’s Court gig, before they turned their attention to recording their first album, Day In, released in late 2016.

Kyro signed a publishing deal with US Publisher Farm Street Music in 2005 and so far have written the title and end tracks for the new Dolph Lundgren / Jerry Springer film, The Defender, as well as 10 tracks for the new Rachel Leigh Cook film, My First Wedding. 

More recently they had one of their tracks, Monster, placed in the very successful Ewan McGregor documentary, Long Way Round that featured on Sky 1 in the UK and Bravo in the US.

They spent the early part of 2005 recording a 6 track EP with Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals, Lost Prophets and INME), released on Tuesday 4th October 2005 on Napster and rated as a top ‘Napster recommends’ album!

Summer 2005 found Kyro in the USA and, after a successful visit to New York in October 2005 for the annual CMJ festival, they have received heavy interest from US labels. They also have a growing fan base in the Far East and Ian has just returned from a promotional visit to Korea, with a short Far East tour being planned later this year.

They have just returned to the studio to record more tracks and finish their album with producer Peter Van Hooke, which included a session at the World famous Abbey Road Studio 2!

Kyro will be touring the length and breadth of the UK this summer to bring their music to the attention of the wide audience it deserves.

"Kyro could write hit, after hit, after hit. Great look, great sound and great talents. Strong melodies, catchy choruses proves Kyro are on the ball. Very radio friendly with an intriguing edge. Distinct vocals with a hint of raunchiness give Kyro a get down and get dirty sort of feel."
