Spoken was formed in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1996. The band’s original lineup included Matt Baird on vocals, Scoop Roberts on guitar, and Isaiah Perez on drums. Their debut album, “On Your Feet,” released on September 22, 1997, through Metro 1 Music, featured a rap-rock fusion style. This was followed by “…What Remains” in 1999 and “Echoes of the Spirit Still Dwell” in 2000, both through Metro 1 Music, further exploring their nu-metal and rap rock influences.
The band’s career progressed with a signing to Tooth & Nail Records, where they released “A Moment of Imperfect Clarity” on September 2, 2003. This album marked a shift towards a more melodic and post-hardcore sound. Subsequent releases on Tooth & Nail, “Last Chance to Breathe” (2005) and “Spoken” (2007), continued this evolution, incorporating more screams and heavy guitar work while retaining their melodic elements. Matt Baird has remained the sole constant member since the band’s inception.
After their tenure with Tooth & Nail, Spoken released their seventh album, “Illusion,” in 2013 through E1 Music, followed by “Breathe Again” in 2015 via Artery Recordings, which was partially funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign. Their ninth album, “IX,” was released independently in 2017. In 2019, J.R. Bareis joined as guitarist, and the band has continued to release new music, including four singles in 2020. Their tenth album, “Reflection,” was released on March 15, 2024, under Brian “Head” Welch’s XOVR label, featuring collaborations with Brian “Head” Welch and Ryan Clark of Demon Hunter.
