The Hybris “The Game Of Cat And Mouse”

“The Game Of Cat And Mouse” darts across the globe wearing capes of dark knight palettes, hitting hard rock, shooting out retro comic webs to fight villains and wicked forces. Though The Hybris have always been a force of anti-heroes, fast-paced, undeterred, thrilling, breath-taking,and just in time for a crime rescue, “The Game Of Cat And Mouse” sees them really stepping into their superhero persona—that’s what they are, saving the world with their grits and wits.

“The Game Of Cat And Mouse” continues the heroes’ journey, arriving more than ever timely, speaking out and aloud about social disparity and injustice. Unlike the punks who fight powers with torches and riots, rushing in heart-racing backbeats, The Hybris are more vigilant and aggressive. Due to the nature of crime, the measure of extreme is called upon. Laced with metal, charged by the raw attitude of punk, and at last, not forget a hint of grace and style to separate them from unmannered ravagers, “The Game Of Cat And Mouse” is a mixture of precision, captivity, brutal honesty and in-your-face rawness.

They don’t have to explain anything to anyone, they see a problem and are simply here to do something about it.

The latest track sees a maturity and confidence in The Hybris’ sound. In the past, one can always spot the ghosts in their sound—sometimes, you find a section that beams out a Red Hot Chilli Pepper vibe, or in the other times, you begin to compare them with My Chemical Romance, Joy Division, Billy Talent and such. “The Game Of Cat And Mouse” is completely The Hybris. They remind you of no one but themselves, the hard rock superheroes here to save the world, at the same time, save your ears from bad music.
