Pyro, Ohio Releases New Song "The Truest Reflection"
Virginia’s Pyro, Ohio has partnered up with Substream Magazine to exclusively premiere that band’s first single off their hotly anticipated follow up to their 2013 "Before The Sun Sets…" EP. “The Truest Reflection,” is off the forthcoming album entitled "Keepsakes" that will be released November 13th. The album is following on the heels of being selected as one of the top American unsigned bands by Hot Topic, having their music video premiered on Substream Magazine, and playing the 2015 Vans Warped Tour in Charlotte, NC.
Guitarist Jake Whalen goes on to explain the album’s theme by saying, “Keepsakes is about tangible things we hold onto over the years to keep our memories alive. Our memories can be a warm, happy nostalgia or a suppressed nightmare. The themes of the album are sort of a dichotomy between the good memories and bad memories. For every song with a positive theme, there is a counterpart song with a more negative theme. Good or bad, our past is what makes us who we are today.”
The Andreas Magnusson (Haste The Day, Oh Sleeper, The Black Dahlia Murder) produced album will be released November 13th and feature eleven dynamic slabs of post-hardcore that is sure to commence head bobbing through the entirety of its 37 minute runtime. Guitarist Stephen Noel commented on the band’s sound by explaining, “We’ve always been influenced by early 2000’s post-hardcore and pop-punk bands, but I think you can hear even more of an impact of those great bands on our melodies and song structures of Keepsakes. Our songs are as varied and manic as always, and somehow this new album is even heavier and more energetic than Before the Sun Sets… even while incorporating parts reminiscent of the late 90’s and early 2000’s alternative scene. We didn’t really steer the sound of the album this way, but it absolutely lends itself to the nostalgic theme of the album.”

Virginia’s Pyro, Ohio has been hard at work on new material, and they are ready to unleash their first new material since 2013’s Before The Sun Sets…. On the heels of being selected as one of the top American unsigned bands by Hot Topic, the band is now set to unleash their new single, entitled “Did I Mention I’m a Hypocrite?,” November 4th. Guitarist Stephen Noel commented on the single, “This new single means so much to us. We have gone through a lot of changes since we released our last EP, including welcoming two new members. It is our most complete and mature song to date, and we could not be more proud of it. We are so excited for the future of Pyro, Ohio.”
The Greg Parker (Camisado, Emarosa, Everyone Dies In Utah) produced single will be released on all digital stores for purchase and as a music video. The music video for the single was filmed and produced by David Borges of Efileno Arts and Media. Guitarist Jake Whalen commented on the music video by stating, “The videos are special to me because I was able to film them where I grew up. To me it represents a culmination of who I was as a kid and who I am now. The main character in the video is on a path to finding a new identity through the events that have taken place; I'm also at a point in my life where changes have presented themselves and I'm trying to figure out exactly where I stand.” David added, “We headed out to some mountains in the country side of Virginia where we filmed for a few days and I got to see some of the most beautiful scenery there.”
