Spinors are bringing a fresh perspective to the Alternative Rock scene, combining powerful guitar-driven music with an imaginative steampunk aesthetic and thought-provoking lyrical themes. Based in London, the band has quickly built momentum through a growing catalogue of releases, energetic live performances, and an artistic identity that draws inspiration from science, philosophy, and storytelling.

Their latest single, Choose to Believe, explores the challenges of navigating truth and misinformation in an increasingly connected world, while previous releases have reflected the personal sacrifices and determination required to pursue creative ambitions. Despite being a relatively new project, Spinors have already embarked on an extensive UK touring schedule and have ambitious plans for future releases and live productions.

We caught up with the band to discuss the origins of their steampunk vision, the meaning behind their name, their move from Argentina to London, and how they hope to continue expanding both their music and the world they are creating around it.

Spinors combines Alternative Rock with a distinctive steampunk aesthetic. How did that visual identity develop, and what role does it play in the band’s music and storytelling?

Steampunk has always been present in the band’s concept. In fact, the main instrument is a guitar that is 100% made in this style. I’ve been in love with this aesthetic since I was a kid and it’s a real pleasure to be able to use music to express myself within this visual aesthetic genre.

The role that the Steampunk aesthetic plays in the band is essential, since the ability to build a dystopian and alternate historical setting allows us to use metaphors and analogies of the reality we live in in a much more artistic and poetic way, and less direct and harsh. At the same time, that high-level language lets us discuss the reality we live in through elements that are not actually present, making the exchange of ideas much deeper. In short, we could say it gives us freedom of artistic expression.

The name “Spinors” comes from a quantum concept about multiple possible states. What first attracted you to that idea, and how does it reflect the band’s creative philosophy?

I’m a big lover of science in general. I’m a very curious person and quantum mechanics really amazed me from the very first moment I discovered it. The concept of superposition feels very powerful to me and also, being so counterintuitive and not having a clear, certain understanding of how it works, it allows us to play with these concepts and mix them with art so that this ambiguity gives us freedom of expression through it.

The name of the band comes from the idea that we create the music and its meaning remains undefined until the listener hears it and “defines” it through their own personal experience. I thought it was a beautiful concept to make the listener part of the band’s identity.

Your latest single, Choose to Believe, explores themes of post-truth and manipulation. What inspired you to tackle these topics, and why did you feel now was the right time to release this message?

The concept of post-truth and opinion shaped through the overexposure of information is something I think should be discussed, since it requires a high level of intellectual awareness to untangle the amount of questionable information that exists, such as fake news and agenda setting through both traditional media and social networks.

I am convinced that in the era of television and conventional media, the way to manipulate was to concentrate truth in a few sources, and now there has been a paradigm shift where the source of information is your phone, and narratives are being pushed through multiple actors. I think this can be clearly seen in the extreme polarization that exists, since algorithms are designed to show us what we want to like and what we hate to comment on.

Having already built a successful musical career in Argentina, what motivated you to leave everything behind and start a new chapter in London?

Although I had moderate success in music in Argentina, where I was able to meet all the goals I had set for myself, the reality is that the pandemic and lockdown significantly disrupted my plans. From that moment of isolation and feeling of helplessness, along with many other things I was thinking about at the time, I decided that I needed to plan my next steps over the following years, and from 2020 I started preparing to cross the Atlantic and come to Europe.

It also happened that I did very well in another field, technology, where I became quite well known in 2020 through social media, and I spent several years teaching and sharing knowledge about programming, development, and artificial intelligence. Although my true love has always been songs, and that is why I am now experiencing a new resurgence of that passion.

Your debut release, Walk Alone, reflected the sacrifices involved in pursuing a dream. Looking back now, how has that journey shaped both you as a musician and Spinors as a band?

Ironically, coming to London wasn’t my first “drop everything for music” move. I was originally born in the city of Córdoba, and at 23 I left everything behind, including family, friends, and home, and moved to the capital of Argentina. So this would be my second exile, but with much more experience.

This feeling of not having a place to call home and nowhere to go back to has followed me since I was young and has allowed me to write songs with a lot of meaning for me. I don’t regret anything. I will keep chasing my dreams and expressing the emotions that this journey gives me.

Spinors balances heavy guitar-driven sounds with memorable, singable choruses. How do you approach songwriting to achieve that balance between complexity and accessibility?

The work I do in composition always pursues a goal, which is to make things that are complex and difficult for the listener as simple and digestible as possible. This applies not only to the lyrics but also to the aesthetic and the music itself.

The balance lies in making it both fun to play and fun to listen to. The guitars and instruments in the band sound like songs and can be sung along to, but when you try to play them the level of complexity is quite high, which makes them quite challenging.

The lyrics are the same. We usually have parts that we repeat quite a lot as a leitmotif, although if you read the poetry carefully it has many layers of meaning and philosophical depth and weight, and it also conveys real-life experiences from my life.

Gabe and Angie joined the project ahead of an extensive UK tour. How has the chemistry between the three of you influenced the band’s sound and live performances?

The truth is we have a lot of chemistry together. We all met at music events while enjoying playing our instruments and spending time with friends, and through sharing music and stages we realized that we would eventually have to play together, and that’s how it happened.

Once we started rehearsing, we knew the shows were going to have a very warm energy, and luckily people tell us they really enjoy the performance, which makes us very happy and gives us even more motivation to continue this journey together.

One of the band’s most unusual stories is that Sergie and Gabe met through a Britney Spears metal tribute project. What did you learn from that experience, and does that playful side still influence Spinors today?

It was in that project that we met Gabe, and it gives us a huge moment of relaxation where we can enjoy music from a much more playful and fun angle, with a lot of playful energy and laughter. It is also the key to being able to do long tours.

Thanks to being able to open at all Britallica shows with Spinors, we are getting so much exposure and a lot of people are able to hear our project.

You have more than 30 UK dates scheduled throughout 2026. What can audiences expect from a Spinors live show, and which upcoming performances are you particularly excited about?

The most recent show before writing this was in London, the city where the three of us live, and it was incredible. We played at the New Cross Inn for more than 250 people and the crowd responded really well, so it left us with a great feeling that if we keep going down this path people might really like what we are doing.

It’s all about staying consistent and disciplined. We believe the project is strong and it’s just a matter of time before more and more people discover it. Luckily, we have already started booking events for 2027 across Europe, so we are also really excited to be able to cross borders.

With new music being released progressively throughout the year, what are your goals for Spinors over the next 12 months, and what would success look like for the band by the end of 2026?

The band has only been alive for two months, so we are more than happy with everything we are experiencing. For us, it’s already a success to be playing in so many places, presenting our music and getting so many positive comments.

Our idea for this first year is to expose and showcase the project as much as we can. Release one song per month with its music video and record the live shows so we can complement our promotion with live performances. It’s important for us that people know that it also sounds great live and that they can experience a strong show.

In the future, we would love to incorporate dancers and actors and take the steampunk concept into a slightly more theatrical space, since we enjoy multidisciplinary concepts as a way of expressing ourselves.
