The Early Years

SILVER R.I.S.C were formed in 1989 in Athens, Greece by the young guitarists and childhood friends Dimitris Gasparatos and Spiros Fousekis. They collaborated with various musicians, under the primary name Silver RISK, until the final line-up featured Tony V. on the drums, Panos Gasparatos on the bass and Phoebus Dokos on the lead vocals. The band’s name changed to SILVER R.I.S.C. This line-up recorded and released in 1993 their first album «Anything she does» under the label of MOLON LAVE Records, a Greek independent record-company. The producer was George Osmak and the sound engineer was Anthony Delaportas, who also arranged all keyboards in the album.

In 1992, while the recordings of that album were almost over, Dimitris Gasparatos took over the lead vocals and D.M. became the band’s new bassist. Both line-ups, brought a high-leveled artistic success. SILVER R.I.S.C managed to make their presence strongly felt to the Greek fans during the 90’s throughout concerts, public performances and interviews.

Almost simultaneously with the release of «Anything she does», SILVER R.I.S.C reentered the studio for a new album. The recordings and the first mixes promised a second success and their concerts and public performances were well received. SILVER R.I.S.C, however, disbanded unexpectedly in September 1994. The second album was never completed nor released. Influenced by the sound of Hard Rock, Blues and Funk, the band offered classic rock experiences to their audience for five rocking years. Their lyrics touched issues of youth and human relationships.

We had to wait 30 years for the come back!
