Biography
"If you like good solid hard rock then Hybrid is the band to keep written on the back of your hand when out at a club."  (Mike Borgia, LuvBomb Records)  After three years of working the regional market, the band, Hybrid, decided that some changes needed to be made.  Given the overwhelming need for internet presence, developing the name Hybrid had become too difficult given the popularity of the word in today's marketing campaigns.  The band decided that if change was to be made, then they were going to make lots of them, so, it was a lineup change and then a name change.  The renewed unit became A Course Of Action in 2006.

A Course Of Action consists of Jonathan Byrd on lead guitar and slide, John Culberson on vocals and rhythm guitar, Tony Hawkins on bass guitar and the newest member, Greg Lucy on drums.  All having been veterans of national and local acts, these guys are seasoned to make a huge mark on the hard rock market of today.  With 90,000+hits on national and international websites, and 56 locations to buy their music all over the world, they are a commercially viable unit with solid vocals, melodic "radio-friendly" hard rock music and a great look to woo the ladies.
