Sylar Returns With New Single and Video “Pushing Me Off”

Sylar has officially ended their hiatus and announced their return with the release of a new single and video titled “Pushing Me Off.” The announcement came directly from vocalist Jayden Franco, who confirmed the band’s comeback through social media after years of silence.“The rumors are true. My band Sylar is back,” Franco shared, marking the first official confirmation of the band’s return since their last release in 2018.“

Pushing Me Off” is the first new music from Sylar since their album Seasons, signaling a new chapter for the Queens-based band.

A Long-Awaited Return

Following the release of Seasons in 2018, Sylar stepped away from the spotlight, entering a prolonged hiatus that left fans unsure if new music would ever surface. Over the years, hints of activity surfaced sporadically, but nothing materialized until now.

The release of “Pushing Me Off” brings closure to that uncertainty. Rather than easing back in quietly, Sylar returned with a fully realized single and visual, making it clear that this is not a test run but a full re-entry.

Refining the Sound Without Losing Identity

Produced by Andrew Baylis and Richard Wicander, “Pushing Me Off” reconnects Sylar with the raw intensity that defined their early rise while incorporating the more refined approach introduced on Seasons. The track feels grounded in the band’s core identity, blending aggression and structure without chasing trends or rewriting their sound.

There is a familiarity in the energy that longtime listeners will recognize immediately. At the same time, the production and pacing reflect a band that has taken time away and returned with clarity.

An Independent Step Forward

Notably, the music video for “Pushing Me Off” was released directly through Sylar’s official YouTube channel rather than via a label partner. The move suggests a more independent approach moving forward, placing control of the rollout and presentation directly in the band’s hands.

This release strategy aligns with the band’s direct, unfiltered announcement of their return. No elaborate rollout, no extended teasing, just a clear message and new music delivered on their own terms.

The First Look at a New Chapter

“Pushing Me Off” represents more than a single release. It marks Sylar’s first step forward after years away, reconnecting with their foundation while opening the door to what comes next. While no additional releases have been officially announced, the band’s return alone signals renewed momentum.

For fans who have followed Sylar since their early days, this moment feels intentional. The band is not revisiting the past, but they are not abandoning it either. Instead, they are picking up where they left off with purpose and direction.
