I started playing guitar at the age of 11 when my parents finally got sick of me working my way through annoyingly loud brass and wind instruments. They decided at this point that a guitar would be more pleasing to the ear. I started teaching myself and joined a band at school at the age of 13. Following this, I began getting lessons and started gigging. I completed a BTEC National Diploma in Music Practice followed by a BA in Music at Newcastle University along with doing grades in guitar, vocals and music theory. At this point I also started playing bass. Alongside this I continued playing in a number of original and cover bands eventually moving onto bass full time. Now I’m excited to be continuing my musical journey with Syteria and I can tell, it’s gonna be a good one!

I can't remember a time when I didn't sing. I was born to a musical family in the west of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Having a rehearsal studio within the family home, I was fortunate to grow up around lots of different musicians that came over to jam with us along the years. From a very early age I studied music and classical singing with private tutors, but it wasn’t until my early teens when I started playing as part of a family band with my brother Pablo and my father. The first instrument I played was my mother’s bass guitar and my dad taught me the basics until I started having lessons. As a young teenager until my early twenties, I was part of multiple different musical projects some of which were bands, and a few of them alongside my brother on drums. I believe performing arts are incredibly powerful, for this reason I also explored other types of expression such as acting and dancing. This allowed me to become much more confident on stage. In 2010 I moved to the UK looking for a better life for myself and continued playing music with lots of new people I met this side of the Atlantic. My musical journey so far has gone from rock to pop to soul, latin, metal, jazz, among other styles. By the time I met Jackie I was more than ready to form Syteria and right now after touring extensively together I’m super excited for what the future might bring!

Jackie Chambers
I was born in Bradford and grew up in Pudsey, Leeds where I started playing guitar at the age of 17 in punk bands, playing with various bands including Déjà Vu and Flowers For Agatha, then moving down to London where I joined a band called Bleech, who were a signed band. In London I formed an all girl band called Virago in the mid 90’s, we had a couple of TV appearances and played with them doing mainly local gigs in London. I’ve recorded with 1980’s Punk band Blitzkrieg recording the album ‘Everything is Lies’ and an EP which were both released a few years ago. In 1995 I placed an advert in a music paper where Kim McAuliffe from Girlschool answered as she wanted to do a side project, we hung out and wrote a few songs together. I became good friends with the rest of the band too and Kelly the guitarist at the time asked me to join as she wanted to leave. I’d never played lead guitar so said no but in 1999 I finally joined and since then have recorded on the albums ‘Not That Innocent’, Believe’, Legacy’, ‘Hit and Run Revisited’ and the latest album ‘Guilty As Sin’ ‘as well as recording various singles along with having guest appearances on our albums by Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Eddie Clarke, Twisted Sister, Neil Murray (Whitesnake) and Ronnie James Dio. I’ve been touring now with Girlschool, for 20 yrs, playing headline and support gigs with various Rock artists such as Motorhead, Saxon, Alice Cooper and Dio to name but a few and playing festivals all over the world including Wacken, Hellfest, Sweden Rock, Montreal MTL Festival, Hard Rock Hell etc. At this present time I have put together a lovely bunch of women called Syteria and we are based in Yorkshire and we are about to rock this planet, so look out!

MARCH TO MAY
MARCH TO MAY
Hello fellow Syterians and welcome to our latest Blog. Lots of exciting things happening in the Syteria camp at the moment and there'll be a few announcements coming shortly.
Back in March we played a fabulous festival called YARMAGEDDON which was also named 'Legends Of Rock' and in Great Yarmouth of course.
Settled into a very luxurious caravan, feet up and a quick band cuppa before the show
Then it seems every year I have another one of those birthday things ???? another year older and deeper in debt and all that, but no wiser ???? This month was all about the new Revolution video, we were writing the intro music, the mad professor middle bit, editing it and preparing for it's release. A party, viewing night at the end of March for all those who kindly gave up their time to film and star in it ????
April was a chance to get together with the wonderful Marc McGarraghy from Yellow Mustang Photography to do our first official photo shoot. We had a fun time doing it and came up with a few pictures we all finally agreed on to use ???? these 3 amongst them.
Next we headed to Newcastle so had to stop off to see the Angel Of The North again, it would have been rude not to ????
Then onwards to Newcastle, another pit stop at a hotel to do an interview with Mark Taylor for Metal Talk.
A chit chat a drink and onwards to our final destination that night to play Trillians, a great venue and wonderful enthusiastic crowd too so we'll be going back there again for sure ????
Then a gig I've really been looking forward to as I was doing double duty playing with Girlschool and Syteria on different nights on a ship going from Sweden to Finland and back. Now that was fun, lots of friends on the ship too which made it extra special, 2 days of catching up and watching bands, what could be better? ???? As soon as we got off the flight we met all the other bands at the airport which led to a coach full of fun, Julia's just passed her test, so we let her drive...NOT!
The line up was packaged as an all girl extravaganza featuring Girlschool, Rock Goddess, The Amorettes and of course Syteria sneaked in there too even though we have our lovely Pablo on drums????Of course for the last song in the Girlschool set, 'Emergency', everyone piled on for one last mash up ????????????????????????
After the show the Captain invited the bands to come on to the bridge which was quite an experience ... a quick photo shoot (Thanks to Helena Larsson from RocknRoll Agency) I then took over the ship, managed to dodge the icebergs as I couldn't see any life boats????
We spent the most of May writing songs and rehearsing them, so anyone coming to see us in the near future will be our guinea pigs ???? so see you all out there at a gig somewhere near you soon.????

Syteria - "Revolution" Official Music Video
Artist city, country: Yorkshire, England, Great Briton
Revolution Lyrics
Stop shaking that tin
I'm strapped for cash to put in
I'll give you another cause
Booze and fags for him indoors
Your ID don't mean a thing
Who knows if you're genuine?
Will it go to a good cause?
Or end up in your grubby paws
Come, the revolution
You'll be up against the wall
McDodgy fries, McDodgy drinks
Sold by Britain's weakest links
Salad there, so it's ok
One part of your five a day
Fat, unhealthy, never think
And that's why Britain's on the brink
All served up on a plastic tray
Not 'loving it' anyway!
Come, the revolution
You'll be up against the wall
Traffic wardens, city gents
Tax collectors, governments
Corporations, paying rent
Go up against my wall
PPI calls,
Bullies, liars, latest fads
Homophobes, the ignorant
go up against my wall

Published by Julia Vocal · 1 April at 10:08 ·
“Brilliantly balancing some terrific hard rock riffs with a New Wave grasp of songwriting and melody ‘Rant O Bot’ is an album that not only has a number of outstanding highlights but will certainly bear repeat plays and should appeal to a very broad range of rock fans. [...] At thirty-five minutes running time the album gets in, does what it came to do and gets out…no filler and no self-indulgence.”
Fantastic review by Atom Smasher Music!

JANUARY TO MARCH BLOG
Hey Syterians,
A new year and more exciting things on the horizon for Syteria.
January we kicked off with a rehearsal, we've now got new songs ready to go. We then put together plans for our new video for the song 'Revolution'. Whilst all that was being organised by Julia, I nipped off to LA to 'The Hall of Heavy Metal History Awards' to present an award to the lovely Lzzy Hale from Halestorm.
But first a quick pit stop to the Whiskey a go go to their jam night, jumped up for a song by the Divinyls, then off to the Rainbow for a bite to eat...cramming all things Hollywood into one night ????
Next stop off to Namm for a few days to play on all things new and catch up with a few people.
I managed to restrain myself and not buy anything...much???? although Dutch our manager bought enough for England...3 days of music, music, music and the off for a few days to visit old friends in Long Beach my old stomping ground...ah sunshine and a holiday????and boy did I need it as the schedule next was mental...I flew back to London, got home to Leeds, had a few hours sleep, then up and drove to Sheffield where we were filming the 'Rantobot' Video.
We finished shooting late in the evening, headed back to Pablo's for a few hours sleep then up at 5am to drive to Manchester to catch a flight to sunny Thailand????, that was exhausting, LA to Sheffield to Thailand, but well worth it. We were met at the airport by our enthusiastic driver in a rather unusual tour bus, bright Orange, mirrors on the ceiling etc., as we were being sponsored by 'New Nordic' in Pattaya. Had a lovely stay in their hotel there too, very nice.
A few days days to relax now finally by the pool and on the beach, so we took ourselves off to have some fun in the sun.
Keira decided to have a go on the jet ski and I decided to go Paragliding
After a little relaxation it was off to the local radio station for an interview and a competition on line between all the bands which we won but never saw our prize...what's all that about then?????Then finally off to play our 1st gig in Thailand at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pattaya.
Followed by our headline gig at the Burupa Bike Festival.
A quick wonder out into the crowd
Then our final gig in Thailand at the Blue Lagoon for a charity event, in a rather hot club, playing on a stage with only a small balcony between us and a rather inviting swimming pool, a few did actually dive in during the event which was quite alarming with all that electrical equipment so close...lol
Thanking the lovely promoter for our gigs there Richard Rhodes
Then Boo...off for our flight back to the UK, landed in Manchester to guess what? Yes, rain???? drove everyone home then finally arrived back in Leeds on the 13th Feb, wondering if I'd be able to get in my front door for all those Valentines days cards that would have been piling up there ...yeah right!
A few days off to recover finally and then to start on the music for the Revolution video, its all coming together nicely now and ready for release on April 6th and now we are ready for our next gig which is Friday 9th March at the Yarmageddon Festival in Great Yarmouth. Hope to see some of you there.

About Syteria
Yorkshire based band Syteria were formed by Jackie ‘Jax’ Chambers of the legendary Girlschool. Along with Argentinian siblings Julia and Pablo Calvo, completed with Steph Dawson, Syteria began to play the main stages at major UK festivals, gigs around the world and to critical acclaim from music journalists reviewing both studio and live performances.
The Syteria sound mixes elements of modern Pop/Punk energies with the more contemporary Rock anthemic chorus’s, incorporating their 4 part harmonies and using the ancient Solfeggio scale of recording in 432hz instead of the standard 440hz to leave you feeling in tune with the Universe. "
Their debut album ‘Rantobot' received a nomination and was short listed to the final 5 at the ‘Independent Music Awards' as well as ranking highly in many on line voting polls for best band in various categories.
