Long Island upstarts, Koyo, announced their upcoming full-length, Would You Miss It?, due out September 29 via Pure Noise Records. In just a few short years the band has been turning heads with their unabashedly heart-on-sleeve blend of punk, hardcore, and emo, and now Would You Miss It? makes good on that early promise with their most satisfying release to date.
To mark the announcement, Koyo offered the album’s first single, “You’re On The List (Minus One).” Driven by huge guitars and a heavyweight chorus, the track is a perfect introduction to Koyo’s hyper-anthemic sound. The song’s accompanying music video is a tongue-in-cheek testament to the Koyo’s ability to tie together different generations of East Coast punk and hardcore, featuring winking appearances from Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, modern hardcore favs Regulate, photographer Michael Dubin, and producer Jon Markson.
Would You Miss It? Tracklist:
1. 51st State
2. You’re On The List (Minus One)
3. Life’s A Pill
4. I Might Not
5. Flatline Afternoon (feat. Anthony DiDio)
6. Anthem
7. Sayonara Motel
8. Message Like A Bomb (feat. Daryl Palumbo)
9. What’s Left To Say (feat. Vinnie Caruana)
10. Postcards
11. Crushed
