History
edit2017-2022: Formation and Early Years
editHyber was formed as a continuation of a college project started by Musto and Kessler in 2017. Musto had been a solo acoustic artist since the age of 16[4] but needed a full band to record for audio engineering classes at Salem State University and discovered long time friend Kessler was a bassist. The two continued making music together after graduating. Abbene joined the group in October of 2017 after meeting Musto through starting a community a cappella group with mutual friends. Together Musto, Abbene, and Kessler decided on the name "Hyber" which is a play on the word "hibernation".[5] Hyber released their debut EP sleEP in August of 2019[1][6] and was nominated for a Boston Music Award for Best New Artist.[7]
2023-2024: New Members and All The Things It Hurt To Know
editBoth Santos and Arathuzik expressed interest in joining the band in 2019 when Hyber created a posting for a second guitarist. However it wasn't until Kessler left the group in 2022 in that Abbene and Musto decided to bring in a second guitarist. Santos and Arathuzik joined the group in January of 2023. Santos had been a long time supporter of the group after seeing them live in 2019. Arathuzik and Musto met working together at Guitar Center in 2017.[8]
The group released singles "Manic"[9], "Happy"[10] and "Grow" leading up to the release of All The Things It Hurt To Know in August of 2024.
Hyber promoted their new EP with a headliner tour across the east coast in July and August of 2024.[11]
The band became endorsed by Reverend Guitars and SIT Strings in 2024.
Personal Lives
editHyber advocates for the LGBTQ community and participated in a music festival fundraising for the Northshore Alliance for GLBTQ Youth. Additionally the band's single "Happy" was released with a lyric video meant to raise awareness of the impact of the anti-lgbtq+ legistlature in recent years.[12]
Lyricist for the group Musto references Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls in their single "Manic".[13]
