Houston, TX-born and France-based HYRO THE HERO will celebrate the release of his sophomore full-length album Bound for Glory via Better Noise Music with a hometown performance tonight, September 15, at House of Blues on the Live Nation-produced “SPIRITS 2023” tour with labelmates NOTHING MORE.
Produced by Matt Good (Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead), Hyro’s Bound for Glory consists of twelve tracks of cutting-edge punk, blisteringly fierce hip-hop, and ear-splitting hard rock mashup with bulletproof lyricism and unstoppable choruses.
Reflecting on his new album, HYRO says “Issues may arise when you feel it in your gut that you were meant to do something great. It’s not a matter of ‘if,’ it’s a matter of ‘when.’ All obstacles and failures are lessons down the road to achieve what you set out for. Some may reach them before you, but that is their story not yours. I live this; being in this industry for so long and seeing others surpass me on my journey doesn’t matter; I know, in my heart, I’m ‘Bound for Glory.’”
Hyro released his debut album Birth, School, Work, Death in 2011. The disc included tracks produced by Ross Robinson featuring Paul Hinojos (At the Drive-in, the Mars Volta, Sparta) on bass, Daniel Anderson (Idiot Pilot, Glowbug) on guitar, and the Blood Brothers alumni Cody Votolato also on guitar, and Mark Gajadhar on drums.
Hyro embarked on his first tour with a full band in the UK & Ireland in April 2012, with Welsh post-hardcore band the Blackout. Hyro also appeared on their single “Higher & Higher” from their album Hope.
