New music from THE HYBRIS

Based between Nice in France, Los Angeles in the USA and Cologne in Germany, THE HYBRIS is an alternative rock outfit formed by three friends and musicians. Taking their name ‘Hybris’ from Greek tragedy alluding to inflated sense of self-worth, bloated pride and arrogance, the band makes a subtle dig at the world and age we live in, reflected in their often politically-charged lyricism.

Having originally met while all living in Germany, now from three corners of the world they link remotely to deliver their artistic vision via their storming rock sound. Utilising the wonders of modern day technology, they convene in a virtual recording studio to send their electrifying musical performances back and forth through the ether, resulting in a cohesive energy that sounds like a band recording together in the moment, testament to their musicianship and sonic chemistry.

Donning an enigmatic visual visade, they style themselves as three budding superheroes on a mission to save the world, known as Ringo Rabbit, Beanie Bison and Malcolm Mandrill. Commenting on the project, Ringo shares, “Our music moves between pop, punk, indie rock and alternative rock, I think it sounds some kind of retro. The songs are sometimes quite different. People quickly compare you with existing bands, critics have compared us to bands like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Feeder, The Killers, Billy Talent or Foo Fighters – which is an incredible compliment for us.”

In May this year they made their explosive entrance with the release of their debut album Music, Vol. 1, followed by September’s single “What If”. Now they bring us their latest effort with their sophomore single titled “Keep The Wolves Away”.

Linking up with featured artist Ulli Kilberth, on their new single THE HYBRIS kick out a high-octane alternative rock anthem that erupts with an impassioned vocal delivery. Written about the impact of war on its direct victims as well as the threat it poses to the wider world as a result, on “Keep The Wolves Away” the exciting new band spin a truly powerful sound.

Full of both crunching and twangy riff-driven guitar tones, a smashing percussion performance and gritty vocal work carrying compelling lead lines, “Keep The Wolves Away” serves as the latest engaging rock outing from the talented trio.
