ABOUT

The Reformation was a progressive rock band formed in Pittsburgh in 2010 that consisted of multi-instrumentalists Kyle Brower, Matt Penco, Caroline Schneider, Dan Miller, and Fred Carneiro. They released their self-titled debut album in 2011, their second album Fatal Expectation in 2013, and the EP Power Trip in 2020.

The facetious lead single from Power Trip, “Ghost House Funk”, was promoted on 88.1 WCRX-FM Columbia College in Chicago for Halloween 2019 and was added to Mascot Label Group’s Spotify playlist The Funk Garage: A Collection of Our All Time Favorite Funky Tunes. 

The Reformation's music was put in rotation on the 90.7 WWOZ-FM New Orleans show What’s New and they have received additional radio airplay on 92.1 WPTS-FM University of Pittsburgh. 

"From Rush-style prog to operatic rock to psyche-y soul a la 'Ball of Confusion'-era Temps, The Reformation's second release is all over the map, but the band seems comfortable there. [...] Some really good musical moments here, though:  'A Grave Path' may be the highlight of the album, and the spacey noir jazz of 'Fell and Forgotten' is beautiful [...] this band could be onto something." —Andy Mulkerin, Pittsburgh City Paper, Jan. 2, 2014

"I like [the Fatal Expectation] album quite a bit. These guys are pretty amazing musicians and the range of sounds is pretty impressive. [...] However you slice this beast, it’s creative, inventive, and pretty darned cool." —G.W. Hill, Music Street Journal:  2014 Volume 2
