Gyroscope started as Gyroscope Sunday in Perth in 1997 with Daniel Sanders on guitar/vocals, Zoran Trivic on guitar/vocals, Brad Campbell on bass/vocals and Rob Nassif on drums. They recorded their first demo cassette in 1998 and took up playing regularly on the Perth live circuit whilst also finding time for work and school commitments. At the end of 2002, Gyroscope won a WAMI Award for best West Australian punk band. 2004, however, was to become Gyroscope's breakthrough year. On the touring front, they supported international visitors to Australia such as Blink-182, Thursday, Dashboard Confessional, Brand New, Sparta, Saves The Day and The Get Up Kids, whilst a new single, Safe Forever, came out in April 2004 and earned Gyroscope more mainstream exposure
