Ultra-anthemic punk RIYL Saves The Day, Anxious, Lifetime, No Pressure. New album ‘Barely Here’ due out 05/08 via Pure Noise Records.

Koyo are gearing up for the imminent release of their sophomore album arriving May 8th via Pure Noise Records. The Long Island punk upstarts are back with one more hook-laden new single. Clocking in at ten songs in just 28 minutes, LP is a lean blast of incredibly anthemic punk that packs the firecracker guts of The Movielife, the widescreen hooks of Taking Back Sunday, and the tuneful grit of Silent Majority—but more than anything it sounds like Koyo themselves. Lead single ‘Irreversible’ highlighted the band’s mastery of blistering tempos, ‘What I’m Worth’ dove into darker waters, and now ‘You Hate Me’ highlights Koyo‘s unparalleled ability to pack hook after hook into a punk song. Band have will be celebrating release with another round of relentless touring, including upcoming North American runs with Hot Mulligan and Joyce Manor, a Japanese tour, and appearances at Sound & Fury and Louder Than Life.
