On February 20, 2026- Mylo Bybee released their new EP Revisions that truly encapsulates the journey of an individual that experiences growth, regret, and other daily life emotions that allows you to move forward in life. Each single off this EP will have you feeling like you are escaping from your deepest lows and allowing yourself to fully embrace the highs of life. Listening to the EP feels personal and each lyric will echo in your mind until it soon fades into reality
“‘I Wish You Well’ taps into years living off the grid in rural Alaska—where silence is louder, distances stretch endlessly, and each day feels both brutally isolating and fiercely alive.“
Interviewer: For all new listeners; please tell me a little bit about the band and your creative style. And what influences helped you create the sound that you have?
Tyler Schlagenhauf: “Mylo Bybee is a Boise-born rock band that leans into big guitars, honest lyrics, and melodies that stick with you long after the song ends.
Growing up in Boise, I was shaped by everything from the classic rock music I grew up on and then indie and alternative records later. I’d dig for the energy of local shows around town. We’re influenced by bands that aren’t afraid to feel big emotionally, groups like Appleseed Cast Manchester Orchestra, but we also pull from more atmospheric and reflective artists. At the end of the day, our sound is really just us chasing whatever feels honest in the room or in our lives when we’re writing together.”
Interviewer: The band just released a new EP; Can you give some insight about what the central theme of the EP is and what other themes can fans resonate to with this release?
Tyler Schlagenhauf: “The central theme of the EP is reflection and change, looking at who you were, who you are, and whether those two versions line up. It’s about growth, regret, forgiveness, and learning how to live with the choices you’ve made.
A lot of the songs tackle perception versus reality, the stories we tell ourselves and the ones we project outward. I think fans can resonate with the tension between wanting to move forward but still feeling so connected to certain memories or mistakes. There’s hope in it, but it’s hard-earned hope.”
Interviewer: “Time Machine” and “Liar” are my favorite tracks off this EP; Why were these singles created? Any personal experiences that lead the band to create them?
Tyler Schlagenhauf: ““Time Machine” came from that universal feeling of wishing you could go back and tweak just one moment. Not necessarily to erase everything, but to say what you didn’t say or handle something differently. It’s personal for sure. I was reflecting on several crossroads that one faces in life where you realize growth usually only comes after you’ve already made the mistake.
“Liar” is more confrontational. It’s about self-deception as much as it is about someone else. We’ve all had moments where we convince ourselves something is fine when it’s clearly not. That song poured out pretty fast once we found the main riff. It felt urgent, and we wanted it to hit that way live too.”
Interviewer: Is there a lyric you feel captures the band’s essence on this EP as a whole?
Tyler Schlagenhauf: “There is a line in Surrendered Notions “ I wonder had the battle has already been won. I surrender all the notions I’ve had all along”. I think this really captures the essence of where I’m at in my life and where we are as a band. It feels like we are always fighting one battle after another in many regards and it’s time to throw out the playbook and play by our own rules in life and as a band. I have clearer vision than I ever have before, have achieved all I could have hoped to achieve and now I’m playing with house money, and that is very dangerous in a good way…”
Interviewer: What’s the most emotionally difficult song you’ve written that’s on this EP?
Tyler Schlagenhauf: ““Scaredy Cat” hands down. I often hesitate to write songs about people so close and dear to me in fear I won’t get it right, and then it’s out there. This one is written about my son and from a new father. The lyrics to this song are more personal than anything I have ever written and wrote this very early on in father hood. In an alternative universe it is me talking to my son, but also to my younger self. I had very influential parent role models in my life and what is what I am working to be.”
Interviewer: The band will be performing at Treefort Music Fest this March; How would you describe your stage presence in three words?
Tyler Schlagenhauf: “At Treefort Music Fest this March?
Three words: Intense. Honest. Unfiltered.
We don’t try to manufacture anything on stage. If a song is heavy, we let it be heavy. If it’s explosive, we lean all the way in. Boise has always supported us, so playing Treefort feels like bringing everything full circle, just louder.”
