The inception of Silverspork began in November of 1998. Traversing through differing styles and genres of music, Silverspork delivers an intensely unique brand of music that captures both a new and old style of alternative metal, all the while maintaing their own personal originality. Their influences draw heavily from the likes of Tool, Faith No More, Helmet, Fuagzi, and many more. The lineup currently consists of Carl Abila on guitar, Brian Gretzinger on vocals, Mario Salcedo on drums, and Ryan Phillips on bass. The two founders and only original members (Carl and Brian) consummated this quartet with the addition of Mario and Ryan. Silverspork's live shows are nearly unmatched. This band delivers an inspiring array of emotion and energy that is delivered with the utmost level of intensity. It is with such intensity that they continue to expand their fan base and draw new listeners in.
