We're Hybrasil (www.hybrasilmusic.com), a band from Wicklow in Ireland. We've been mates since school but got the 'get a job, get a life' mantra drilled into us so we each went about getting a job and trying to get a life we enjoyed for a while.

Always jammed and played music, sometimes together - Spud went and played with Sack, toured with Morrissey and lived a little, Nipper and Neilo played garage music in Obi-Wan, Joe was a journo in New York for a while and Keith worked for Sky.

Last year we got together and figured we'd prefer to have no job and enjoy life. Came together as Hybrasil and started writing and playing. Its been a good year - signed to FIFA Records, released our first EP - We Got Music (Top 40) and played with some pretty cool bands already - The La's (their first show in 10 years - got plastered with them so pay no attention to anyone that tells you Lee Mavers is a recluse - he's a pure gent), Wags (from The Happy Mondays), Idlewild, The Chalets.

Just toured UK for the first time a few months back and the crowds went fairly nuts for us so that's where the near future lies for us. We Got Music got into the top ten in the UK college charts upon its release in February in the UK. Our next single, When I'm Yawning, will be out on July 27 with tours of Ireland and the UK to follow. That's about where we are now.
