Artist History "SPIROS" was founded by Lead Vocalist, Brett Keyser and Drummer, Rick Bishop in the spring of 1998 in Spartanburg, SC. It all started when the two were working together at a Go-Kart track and learned of how each other had played guitar and drums before. After a little talking, Brett and Rick decided to form a band. Starting out first with the name "In-8-Faith" then to "Final Destination" and ultimately to "SPIROS". They quickly jelled and within a few months they found guitar player Justin Brutosky. And well like they say, the rest is history!
