From London, SPINORS emerges as a boundary-pushing force, blending alternative rock and steampunk aesthetics into a deeply personal, high-energy project shaped by movement, identity, and artistic exploration.
1.
SPINORS was formed in 2026 after a major transition from Buenos Aires to
London. Can you walk us through that journey and how it shaped the identity of
the band?
Yeah, this
is Sergie replying to you, the one who moved from Buenos Aires, Argentina to
London. I actually came here in 2024, but it wasn’t until this year that I
started the band. Originally I came to explore the old continent and several
bands wanted me as a musician, so I started working here as a session musician
and that brought back this need to play my own original music again. That’s
when I developed the concept of Spinors, combining the alternative rock sound
and the steampunk visuals that I love so much into one single project.
2. The
name “Spinors” comes from quantum physics, describing particles that can exist
in multiple states. How does this concept translate into your music and
artistic vision?
Basically it’s the
same concept applied to music, it remains undefined until the person listening
to it defines it through their own experiences, life events, and the way they
complete the musical piece.
3. Your
aesthetic blends Alternative Rock with a steampunk influence. How did that
visual and sonic direction develop, and what does it represent for you?
Steampunk is an
important part of my life, I’ve always been a fan of dystopias and alternate
histories and although I started with cyberpunk through movies like Terminator
or The Matrix, I eventually discovered steampunk which I find much more
fascinating, linked to science and Nikola Tesla, which is something very
connected to my nerd side.
4. Your
sound mixes heavy instrumentation with very melodic, singable choruses. How do
you balance complexity with accessibility when writing songs?
I don’t think I
have a formula for writing, but it is something that distinguishes me. I like
making heavy music with instrumentals that are difficult to play, but I don’t
like losing the song structure or having catchy, radio-style choruses so that
everyone can share, at some point in the track, a moment of relaxation after
the complex parts. This makes it fun to play live and to listen to as well, I
guess, and I make music to satisfy both the musician and the listener.
5. The
single “Choose to Believe” explores post-truth and information overload. What
inspired this theme, and how do you personally relate to the message behind it?
It’s a theme I
really like, I’ve always been interested in how the media, big brands, and
governments manipulate the masses and how noble causes are used to achieve
darker goals. I’ve always had an uncomfortable stance in my life because I’ve
never liked any politician and I don’t fully align myself with any movement,
since I can always see the strings of the puppeteers using people for sinister
purposes, and I wanted to communicate that through a powerful song.
6. “Walk
Alone” reflects Sergie’s decision to leave everything behind and pursue music
in Europe. How personal is this track, and what emotions were hardest to put
into it?
It’s not the first
time I’ve felt a sense of uprootedness, since I wasn’t born in Buenos Aires but
emigrated very young from one state to another, leaving my family behind, and
then coming to Europe was the second big move. That feeling of not having a place
to call home and not belonging anywhere has always followed me, and I liked
introducing myself in Europe with those lines because they are truly part of my
identity, even though I love Europe and feel very comfortable here.
7. What
does the songwriting process look like for SPINORS—do you build songs around
lyrics, riffs, or rhythmic ideas first?
I usually compose
songs starting from a feeling and build from there. For example, if I really
want to write a song about nostalgia, I look for elements that make me feel
nostalgic… I search for the best nostalgic chords, riffs that give me that
sensation, and the structure of the song is very important because I like to
develop the idea gradually, maybe taking you from a warmer place into the
feeling I’m aiming for, or vice versa. The lyrics almost always come last,
since once the music is already conveying what I want to say, the lyrics emerge
almost naturally from the feeling.
8. How
did the chemistry between Sergie Code, Gabe Scapigliati, and Angie Sartori
develop, especially with Gabe and Angie joining during the 2026 tour?
The songs were
recorded by two musician friends of mine, Nawe and Santi, and then I looked for
musicians so I could do my European tour. Gabe is part of BRITALLICA, a metal
tribute to Britney Spears, where I also play as a hired musician, and it’s one
of my sources of income, so we’ve been sharing the stage for a while now. Angie
joined later as a friend of both of us, having met us at jam sessions where
we’ve played classics from Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, and Metallica together.
9. You
already have more than 30 live shows planned across the UK. What can audiences
expect from a SPINORS live performance?
Yes, we’re opening
for Britallica and Nirvanher, as well as doing our own shows all across the UK
and Europe, and this is giving us a lot of exposure in our first year as a
band. People who come to our shows can expect a super high-energy performance
with jumps, running from side to side on stage, guitar solos, moments of
intense adrenaline, and strong, deep lyrics with impactful meaning. I don’t
like doing anything superficial.
10. Your music invites listeners to interpret it in their own way. How important is audience perception in shaping what SPINORS becomes over time?
Although it’s a new band, the audience is extremely important, and I’d like to gradually incorporate more and more interaction with them. Right now we’re in the first stage of the band, which is to make ourselves known, but little by little I’d like to add improvisation sections and have moments of feedback where we get the crowd to sing or take part in some way. I’ve always liked interactive shows, and it’s something I want to start developing as soon as possible.
11. The
band’s formation includes some unusual stories—from tribute projects to chance
jam sessions and even personal life obstacles like Sergie’s cat, Glottis. How
do these experiences influence your creative identity?
They have an
absolute impact, the band is a direct result of experience because the
composition and the lyrics are real, they are 100% true, taken from the life we
live, and there is no posturing or fakeness, I don’t like to deceive anyone, I
write what I feel and then each person can take those words to feel identified
or not with what the song is saying.
12. With
your first releases already out and more coming throughout the year, what are
the next steps for SPINORS—are you aiming toward a full album, EP, or something
conceptually different?
We have 4 more
songs already recorded, and our plan is to release one song per month with a
highly produced music video, trying to keep that balance between high-quality
music and a provocative, eye-catching, and unique audiovisual concept. We’ve
only released two songs so far, but I think we’re on the right path, slowly
revealing our cards and making people fall in love with the project step by
step without rushing, we have plenty of time to share with our listeners.
