Sybris

Shaped in 2003 across the talents of Angela Mullenhour (lead vocals), Eric Mahle (drums), Phil Naumann (guitar), and Shaun Podgurski (bass/vocals), Chicago-based indie rock and roll quartet Sybris released their eponymous debut for the Flameshovel label in August 2005 to both critical and commercial acclaim. Sybris’ mixture of melodic middle-’90s alternative rock and roll and angular lo-fi/experimental pop arrived them on Definitely Kosher because of their 2008 sophomore discharge, Into the Trees and shrubs.
