Biography
There are at least seven artist/bands named Spark: 1. Vancouver’s Matt Willox. 2. Sumgayit rock band. 3. Swedish EBM-act SPARK! 4. Ohio Christian Rock band Spark. and 5. Flemish popact Spark. 6. Spectorist (bassist) for X-SEPT. 7, Serbian/Hungarian hardcorepunk band 8. Dutch rapper 9. Female vocalist from the UK. Spark (1) is Matt Willox, the prolific Vancouver British Columbia-based musician had his start on mp3.com where he debuted the first real Spark track, “Are We Happy People?” It was at this point in his life that he discovered his true sound; to create uniquely mangled yet melodically destructive electronics. Always one to break preconceived notions of music production techniques, Spark manages to reinvent himself with each release by realizing the differences between conventional musical approaches and significantly unique arrangements of sound. Spark’s relationship with his music is one that is personalized to reflect what is currently happening in his life. By crystallizing new ideas and venturing beyond wandering experimentation, expect to hear a new chapter in Spark’s library of fractured sounds. Spark (2) was founded in December 1997 in Sumgayit. Elvin Bashirov - date of birth: 1983 Instrument: Percussionist Saeed Ganiyev - date of birth: 1983 Instrument: keyboard player Rafael Gasimov (R.B.G.) - date of birth; 1980 Dmitriy Smerkalov - date of birth: 1977. Eldaniz Mirzoev - date of birth: 1976 Viktor Medaykov - date of birth: 1975. Vocal In May 1999, “Spark” played at the rock festival out of “Toshoku Poor” series in Bakport club. Later, in august 1999, at the rock festival in the “Schmidt” club. In May 2000, band became prize-holder of rock festival in “Rashid Behbudov” club. Spark (3) i a swedish old school EBM act (aka SPARK!) that make implicit perfectionist EBM with swedish lyrics as heard on MySpace Spark (4) The members of Spark do more than light a fire. To this Dayton-based five piece, music is about earning ones platform to share the gospel by performing the fullest, catchiest, most inspired rock songs that the pop scale can handle. The group epitomized this vision quest with their Rugged debut, Tomorrow Is Today, which taps into the same influences as Creed, Live, the Goo Goo Dolls, Sense Field, Nine Days, and SR-71. The music has a driving double-guitar rock edge, but Sparks key emphasis is always on strong pop vocals and melodies. Spark - made up of Dave Truscott (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jesse Jackson (vocals), Scott Peters (bass), Steve Peters (drums), and Todd Osborn (lead guitar) - started off as a regional hit in Ohio nearly five years ago performing with groups like Audio Adrenaline, Plumb, Skillet, Fold Zandura, Geoff Moore and the Distance, and Reality Check. Their success reached total buzzworthy proportions in 1998 when Spark became the grand champion of Radio Us Battle of the Bands. Soon after the victory, Spark was even asked to perform at Radio Us much-hyped 4th of July music festival. In other words, while Tomorrow Is Today might be the groups debut national album, Spark is no stranger to the national spotlight. As affirmed by Radio U, Sparks songs go head-to-head with the top commercial rock bands in Christian music. However, Spark rises above their peers with a youthful energy and spirit that only a band of 18-to-24 year olds can muster. Rugged Records, recognizing the strength of Sparks pop hooks and the advantage of their youth, will be making a heavy push towards national radio and video dominance. Likewise, the label is pushing for heavy print promotion, both through advertising and feature articles. Of course, the bands strong live performance ethic means Spark will be blazing a fierce trail on the road winning over new fans and sharing their beloved gospel with people from coast to coast. Spark (5) is an act, consisting of Claudia Decaluwé and Gunter Van Campenhout, who started their career by trying to represent Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2002. Their debutalbum came in 2004 and was titled “I like it”. They took their time to make a new album, but in 2008 new material will finally be released. Spark (7) is a serbian/hungarian noisy hardcore punk band in the veins of Bad Brains, Void, Kid Dynamite etc. s/t EP (2009) for free: http://www.mediafire.com/?2nzd1jl2owj Magnets and Lullabies EP (2010) for free: http://www.mediafire.com/?i0ctg2aaafjqw88 spark(8) is a rapper from Holland.
