Sybil is a blend of the influences of it's members: Nirvana-esque song structure with lyrics blending truth and Beckian nonsense, incendiary guitar riffs, big drums, mostly Texas, with a hint of Calfornia. Fun.

Details:
On Saturday night "In Search of a Midnight Kiss" won the John Cassavetes award at the Spirit Awards (best independent film of the year made for under $500k). As Austinite Alex Holdridge (director) approached the podium, Austin band Sybil's version of "Wind of Change" played in the background, heard by such attendees as: Mickey Rourke, Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Lucy Liu... In addition to being played before a hall full of LA's glitterati, Sybil's cover was also being broadcast across the globe by the AMC channel.

Matt Brunson of the Charlotte Observer had this to say: "And while we've come to expect our indie-flick soundtracks to be suitable for the occasion, the one featured here is a real treat, highlighted by Sybil's remake of Scorpions' power ballad "Wind of Change." Tactfully employed in both the final scene as well as the end credits, it truly allows audiences to head home with a song in their heart."

Some bands claim to sound unlike anyone else. Some bands claim to have a wide variety of influences. Some bands claim they donât suck. Rarely are any of these statements true. Fortunately for the Rock Nâ Roll loving public, Sybil has come to save the day!

Sybil is an Austin, TX, based band that can best be described as the bastard offspring of Prince, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Led Zeppelin, The Foo Fighters, Queen, Tenacious D, The Cars, U2, Living Colour, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Fishbone and several other amazing musicians and bands that only a paternity test could verify.

After having their amazing catalog of music featured on MTVâs The Real World, the independent film Sexless and college radio stations all across Texas, Sybil was asked to contribute a cover of The Scorpions classic "Wind of Change" to the award winning film "In Search of a Midnight Kiss", one of the top-10 best reviewed films of 2008.

Sybil is: Robert Murphy, vocals/rhythm guitar; Ryan Craig, drums; Gordon Kahan, lead guitar; Billy Murphy, vocals/harmonica; Rob Sides, bass.
