About Hybrasil

Hybrasil were formed by a group of friends that grew up with each other in a Wicklow town. They have released two EPs (We Got Music & When I'm Yawning).

Hybrasil returned to the studio in the early 2007 to put the finishing touches on their debut album but took a break from recording when they were handpicked by Mike Scott to open for The Waterboys on their Irish tour. Their next single, God Bless The Devil, was released on 22 June and got good airplay on Irish radio stations. Their debut album, The Monkey Pole, was released nationally in September and the band spent the rest of the year touring the country.

In January 2008, Nipper Kinsella parted company under amicable circumstances and the rest of the band made the decision to continue as a four-piece.

In 2009 the band entered a quiet period. Some of the band members got involved with other musical projects such as Moon. Hybrasil broke up in 2010.

Lineup:

  1. Spud Murphy (lead guitar, vocals, samplers, synths, and percussion)
  2. Keith Byrne (bass guitar, backing vocals and percussion)
  3. Neil Horner (drums)
  4. Joe Kavanagh (synths, backing vocals and percussion)
