KOYO share new single and video, "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."

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.

Vocalist Joey Chiaramonte discussed the new song, saying: "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."

Due out 29 September from Pure Noise Records, Would You Miss It? promises to be an unabashedly heart-on-sleeve blend of punk, hardcore, and emo, that makes for a modern coming-of-age classic fit for any generation of listeners.
