I MIGHT NOT GET THROUGH ALL OF THIS
TAKEN FROM MILE A MINUTE EP
OUT 12TH NOVEMBER VIA PURE NOISE RECORDS
UPCOMING WORLDWIDE TOUR DATES
SHOWS W/ THE STORY SO FAR, SUPERHEAVEN, FOUR YEAR STRONG
Last year Koyo released their debut full-length, Would You Miss It?, drawing acclaim from listeners and critics alike for their unabashedly heart-on-sleeve blend of punk, hardcore, and emo. Now the Long Island upstarts are back with the announcement of a new EP, Mile A Minute.
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 their catalog's modern classics, and today they're back with another new take on a past favoUrite. I Might Not Get Through All Of This is a reimagined version of "I Might Not" from Would You Miss It? and it's a drastically different take that morphs the original's widescreen pop punk into an atmospheric, almost trip hop-ish brooder.

Frontman Joey Chiaramonte explains: "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."
Emerging from the Long Island underground with members of Typecaste, Hangman, and Rain of Salvation, Koyo hit the ground running with a sonic style that fully embraces the sound of their legendary scene. Drawing on elements like the widescreen melodies of Taking Back Sunday or the tuneful grit of Silent Majority, the band have managed to wear their influences proudly while cultivating songwriting chops that speak for themselves. Mile A Minute showcases the impressive songwriting chops that at the center of Koyo's music, no matter the volume. Tracks like "Ten Digits Away (Deluxe)" and "I Might Not Get Through All of This" pull back the distortion leaving the hooks to stand alone. Meanwhile "Mile A Minute" is the first completely new Koyo song since the release of Would You Miss It?. It's a massive punk anthem that's proves the band won't be slowing down any time soon. "Music is all time and place," Chiaramonte says. "Lyrics and their subject matter, feelings you have--it’s all subject to change, quickly dated. Mile A Minute is the most current possible representation of where I’m at, and where we’re at, and I just hope people dive into every aspect and nuance of these songs."
Mile A Minute track list:
1. Ten Digits Away (Deluxe)

Mile A Minute is out 12th November 2024 via Pure Noise Records.
