24-7 Spyz came onto the funk-rock scene in 1989 with their debut album, titled Harder Than You, followed by Gumbo Millennium in 1990 (both on In Effect/Relativity Records). The band then released a 5 song EP titled This is…24-7 Spyz in 1991 after signing with Eastwest/Atlantic Records with the full length release in 1992 Strength In Numbers which included the single, 'Stuntman', that was featured in a Budweiser television commercial as well as an episode of Beavis And Butthead. 1995 brought the original lineup back together for the release of Temporarily Disconnected (Enemy Records) which after a short tour, drummer Joel Maitoza reunited with Jimi Hazel and Rick Skatore to record the CDs 6 (Enemy Records) and Heavy Metal Soul By The Pound (released in the US on the What Are Records? label) in 1996. A live EP titled If I Could, was released in 1997 also with the 3-piece lineup. Most recently, the band has been promoting their CD Face the Day which was released in 2006.
