About Me


mixing elements of alt-rock, indie, and folk, cyrus has gained increasing notoriety over the years for their artistic sensibilities and passionate approach to music. based in lubbock, texas, the group began performing in early 2001 and released their self-titled debut lp in 2003. after touring in support of the album in texas, new mexico, and colorado, the group began work on their latest effort, source, which was entirely recorded and produced by the band itself and released in december 2007.
"delusional," the first single off their new album, was voted 1 in alternative-rock and 2 among all genres in the march 2008 ourstage.com music competition.
following the release of source, cyrus has exploded onto the alt-rock music scene in an area typically more-known for its contribution to country-western and americana.
the group has been the subject of feature articles in the lubbock avalanche-journal, amarillo globe-news, and the south plains college plainsman press, with study breaks magazine hailing source as "brisk, compelling, and easy to play over and over again."
the band was hand-picked by the toadies to open up for the group's lubbock tour date in september 2008 and was the featured musical performer at this year's flatland film festival in lubbock.
"after giving a listen to cyrus's newest cd, there's nothing but good thoughts in my head. it's tough for a hard-nosed music critic to be surprised by anything on a new cd. but after listening to source, the cynicism is worn down, and what grows in its place is appreciation for a band with ambition beyond the lowest common denominator. there is variety and an excellent use of dynamics throughout. also, the songs never overstay their welcome. the album is brisk, compelling, and easy to play over and over again." - study breaks magazine
