The story of stOp sToP is the story of their members!

The story of Jacob A.M, founder, singer and bassist, has been a wild one. Born in Menorca (Spain) he moved from Barcelona via Milano (Italy) to Los Angeles, USA! He lived in a van in Sunset Boulevard right behind the legendary Whiskey A Go Go always on the lookout to find just the right people for his band, which he did in October 2009!

Vega, the guitar player, has been tired of boring bands and thirsty for Rock’n Roll when he decides to join the group. His sleazy and AOR kinda playing makes him to live for what he always wanted to do:  Sex, Rock and more sex! Drummer Danny Stix is born in Sofia (Bulgaria) and was a huge fan oft he band when he was asked to join. He is a skinny boy with massiv hair and a bad ass, very loud drummer, the perfect soundmachine for he threepiece!

Following the release of their debut album "Unlimited" in the winter of 2010, the band received loads of good reviews from the Spanish rock magazines and radio stations and prospects looked good with sold out shows in one of Barcelona's major venue, 'Mephisto'. However, in spite of a measure of acclaim from local press and fanbase, a subsequent Spanish tour brought home the reality that the band would never attract enough support in Spain to make it to the 'big time' so at the end of October 2011 they left everything behind, bought a van, booked some gigs in U.K., upped sticks and moved! Not caring they had nowhere to stay, they gambled everything, living in a van like gypsies and continued rocking like hell!

Surprisingly, the UK response to "StOp SToP!" proved more than the band ever expected: the people really loved them, so they decided to stay on and tour for a further 7 months returning to Barcelona in July 2012 to record their second album. Since then the band is back touring in the UK and now they only have one more wish!

Everybody should JOIN THE PARTY! Don't miss it! Love them or hate them, these three undeniably play real, hard-rock. Madness and perversion are their favourite weapons!
