Koyo Commence European Tour & Share “Anthem”

Long Island upstarts Koyo recently announced their debut full-length, Would You Miss It?, and today they’re back with another early taste of the record, Anthem. Due out September 29th from Pure Noise Records, Would You Miss It? is an unabashedly heart-on-sleeve blend of punk, hardcore and emo. The fittingly titled Anthem follows lead single, You’re On The List (Minus One), and provides another jolt of heavyweight guitars and earworm melodies, perfect for stage dives and singalongs at the band’s shows this summer. Koyo will be touring heavily in support of Would You Miss It?. The band’s busy schedule continues with a run of UK and EU tour dates which kicked off today.

“I feel like so many of the bands we love had songs that celebrate the world they come from. Songs about finding music, hardcore, being inspired to create, those tangible moments that change your life when you’re young and just create an obsession with playing and going to shows. Anthem is our stab at adding to that greater catalog. Specifically, ‘Anthem’ is more than just addressing personal nostalgia, or coming of age show going experiences. It’s an open letter to everyone out there right now, listening, understanding what I mean and say in that song without having to be walked through it. If you understand it immediately, the song is written about you.” (vocalist Joey Chiaramonte)
