The Kybosh are an Irish rock quartet, made up of brothers Rob Cumiskey and Donal Cumiskey, Brian Higgins and Anthony Doyle based in Dublin, Ireland. They came to prominence with the release of their first EP, 'Rubicon' in February 2007, and entered the Irish Top 50 that month.
The Kybosh have been described as "combining a love of whistleable pop tunes with the dark, sharp edge of '80s new wave", and are influenced by bands such as Interpol, The Cure, Joy Division, Killing Joke, Echo & the Bunnymen, and early U2.
