2023 Scene Showdown Part 1 Featuring Jake Whalen of Pyro, Ohio

December 26, 2023

Welcome to a brand new episode of Ian’s Untitled Scene Show! In this episode, it’s a fan favorite: the 2023 year-end SCENE wrap-up show featuring Jake Whalen of Pyro, Ohio!

It’s been a long time since I got to record a full show on the Scene, so I was thrilled when Jake was excited as well. We discuss the Scene in general, talk about many albums out in 2023, the best EPs (in Ian’s opinion), and much more! There’s so much to review, so this is just PART 1. In Part 2, we review the best and worst of the Scene in 2023 (and more, of course)! So don’t be surprised when you get to the end of Part 1, and it’s a Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse cliffhanger 🤘

Correction: Skylar is the bassist of Issues, not the guitarist, and Michael’s last name is ‘Bohn’ 🤘

Check out the exclusive conversation below (and Part 2 soon), including iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and more:
