Hyber share joyously pissed-off anthem, ‘Waiting For Your Call’

Massachusetts emo upstarts Hyber just soundtracked your next existential spiral with ‘Waiting For Your Call’––their new song out today. Produced by Chris Curran and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Will Yip (The Wonder Years, Tigers Jaw, Turnstile), it’s a melodic burst of emotional overload, built for long drives, sleepless nights, and anxious scrolling.

Led by Kris Musto (she/her) on vocals and rhythm guitar, alongside Nick Arathuzik (he/him, lead guitar), Gabriel Santos (he/him, bass), and Jeanette Abbene (she/her, drums/backing vocals), Hyber makes joyously pissed-off emo for those of us who feel too much and text back too fast.

Sonically they channel the raw nerve of Movements, the sugar-high hooks of The Beths, the self-aware angst of The Wonder Years, and the “it’s not a phase” stamina of early Fall Out Boy. They’re a bit younger and messier but equal parts melodramatic and melodic; built for basement shows and downward spirals alike.

‘Waiting For Your Call’ is Hyber, unfiltered; distorted guitars, a whiplash-inducing chorus, and a Space Invaders-style pick slide at 2:15 (left in by accident, but embraced with their full chest) define the track’s pulse. The single is also paired with a chiptune remix b-side—a video-game battle anthem for anyone tired of waiting on closure. Think: final boss fight music, but make it emotionally devastating, too.
