'We Got Music'

While we’re undoubtedly blessed with a stack of fine bands these days, the street gang vibe that has been so crucial in music down the years is noticeably largely absent.

Hybrasil (from the mean streets of Wicklow) exude it more than most and as such, 'We Got Music' has an impressive swagger to it that tips a nod to current gang bangers Kasabian and Hard-Fi, throwing rock, dance and electronica into the mix.

When I'm Yawning

Naïve lyrics and more than a passing resemblence to the awful Leeds outfit The Music have, in the past, seen Wicklow five-piece Hybrasil flounder. Debut EP, We Got Music, in particular was a mixed and unfocussed work. Yet the electro-rock stompers redeem themselves on the infectious ‘When I’m Yawning’. The hook-laden feast draws comparisons to Kasabian. In particular, there are echoes of the Leceister band's ‘Processed Beats’.
