Cynix, even though a fairly recent newcomer to the modern rock music scene, has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after unsigned acts today. The Clear Channel’s New Music Network hailed the new fusion as "modern rock pop electronica and alternative, with slight influences drawn on jazz and bossa-nova. The result is a sexy pumping groove with some really catchy hooks... It will hit you like PJ Harvey, or Patti Smith, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Portishead, but with the mainstream appeal of say, Coldplay." With their virtuoso street smarts, quiet sarcasm, and a debut album that has been hailed one which has "all the makings of a pop culture hit and still manages to bring something new to the table", Cynix is catching the ears and attention of a worldwide audience Summer 04’ West Coast Tour with new wave legend- Bow Wow Wow featuring Adrian Young of No Doubt and Oslo Dirty Laundry", "Audacity", and "Dirty Little Secret" have all reached UMN's top 10 alternative charts since the release.
