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. Over the past few weeks the band have been sharing reworked versions of songs from their past, but today the Long Island upstarts are back with the first completely new Koyo song since ‘Would You Miss It?’: the massively anthemic ‘Mile A Minute’.
‘Mile A Minute’ is the title track Koyo’s new three-song EP, out today from Pure Noise Records. The songs are a snapshot of where the band have been and where they’re heading: ‘Ten Digits Away (Deluxe)’ is an acoustic take on one of their catalog’s early classics, ‘I Might Not Get Through All Of This’ is a drastically reimagined version of a standout from ‘Would You Miss It?’; and finally ‘Mile A Minute’ is a widescreen pop punk banger that points towards the band’s future. The track arrives alongside a music video directed, shot, and edited by Eric Richter.
