Band Review: The Gyro


The Gyro is a four piece funk band based in London.

You can hear other influences as well. "Heart and Soul" reminds me of old standards, but jazzier and livelier. Still, more typical tracks for the band would probably be "Bottle" or "Make Me Smile".

These lyrics often point to a life full of trouble and disappointment, but the with Siobhan Hesketh's sweet voice, accompanied by the groove set by Dario, Ben, and Derek Lewis, the songs don't generally feel down.

There is a sense of maturity and professionalism. The band has done a good job of creating a web presence, with music on all of the usual sites, and is keeping live dates scheduled. This includes the promise of a 4 track EP to be released at their next appearance, Vault Festival on February 26th in London.

The Gyro band should be poised to do well.
