THE HYBRIS release “What If”

Originally hailing from Germany, THE HYBRIS is an international alternative rock trio formed by musicians who have known each other for several year. Having played in various rock outfits over the years, they’re now spread all over the world, based in Nice, LA and Cologne, combining to make their own brand of driving guitar-based music.

Collaborating via a virtual recording studio, each member brings their own multi-instrumental talents to create music together online. They take their name from ‘Hybris’ in Greek tragedy standing for a bloated sense of pride, arrogance and an excess of ambition, a fitting title for today’s world.

Their image centres on their mask-wearing characters; Ringo Rabbit, Beanie Bison and Malcolm Mandrill, three amateur superheroes wanting to save the world. Commenting on their appearance, Ringo Rabbit shares, “We felt like doing something ‘different’. At first it was a stupid idea, but meanwhile we think it is pretty cool.”

With their politically-focused lyrical writing and a sound full of angsty attitude, they made a splash earlier this year with the release of their debut album titled Music, Vol. 1. Now they bring us their follow up with the brand new single “What If”.

Laying down a rhythmic indie rock sound, with their new single they spin a memorable and grooving modern rock anthem. Packed with emphatic vocal leads, gritty guitar work and their trademark hook-driven writing, with their new single they serve up a crunchy track that sees them continue to go from strength-to-strength with each new release.
