Spyres: International Showcase Fund (SXSW 2024)
SXSW 2024, Austin, Texas
Since their official formation in April 2019, Spyres have racked up over two million streams on Spotify alone with break-out singles ‘Otherside’, Fake ID and I Don’t Care, all receiving an incredible outpouring of radio support from the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders, Radio X’s John Kennedy, BBC Introducing Scotland’s Phoebe I-H and Vic Galloway. The reaction to the band has been mirrored in press with fevered endorsements from DORK, Gigwise, The Scottish Sun, Daily Record, Tenement TV, Punktastic and Distorted Sound at a glance.
Making a name for themselves on stage, Spyres supporting credentials include The Jesus And Mary Chain, Nothing But Thieves, The Music, Lauren Hibbard (UK Tour) The Snuts, and Softcult (UK Tour) to name a few. They have also played key festivals TRNSMT, The Great Escape, Belladrum, Isle of Wight and more. Since signing to Lab Records the band released debut EP ‘Dear Diary’ to critical acclaim and more recently in Nov 23′ new EP ‘Karaoke Sellouts’. The PRS International Fund will continue to help the band grow and take them into a new market to secure further opportunities which will be invaluable to their continued growth.
