Last year Long Island’s Koyo released their debut full-length, Would You Miss It?, that introduced their unabashedly heart on sleeve blend of punk, hardcore and emo, now the band have announced that their brand new EP, Mile A Minute, will be released on the 12th November via Pure Noise Records. The three songs that make up Mile A Minute tap into where Koyo began and where they’re going. The band previously shared Ten Digits Away (Deluxe), an acoustic take on one of a fan favourite, and now they’re back with another new take on a past favorite. I Might Not Get Through All Of This is a reimagined version of I Might Not from Would You Miss It? It’s a drastically different take that morphs the original’s widescreen pop punk into an atmospheric, almost trip hop-ish brooder. 

“Maybe the most out-there we’ve ever gotten with a track. In this recent session of singles we knew we wanted to approach rewriting an older track with a willingness to go a little out of the usual comfort zone. We very quickly decided on ‘I Might Not.’ The first stab at doing this was just a piano and singing and we quickly started adding layers and instrumentation as the vision came together. I candidly can say I’m unsure if people will care for this version of the song, it’s a very outside-the-box sound for us–not what an average Koyo listener looks for in us. But this song is powerful and I believe in it. This track feels how October on Long Island looks and feels to me. I hope someone somewhere is drinking a coffee at 2:00 AM bumping this in their car, blasting the heat, parked in a parking lot by a beach or something.” (Frontman Joey Chiaramonte)
