Koyo show their evolving sound with new single ‘What I’m Worth’

Koyo continue to show their ever evolving sound with the bands newest song ‘What I’m Worth’. This comes from the bands upcoming sophomore album, ‘Barely Here‘, arriving May 8th via Pure Noise Records.

Clocking in at ten songs in just 28 minutes, Barely Here is a lean blast of incredibly anthemic punk that packs the firecracker guts of The Movielife, the widescreen hooks of Taking Back Sunday, and the tuneful grit of Silent Majority—but more than anything it sounds like Koyo themselves.

Lead single Irreversible highlighted the band’s mastery of bouncy tempos and big melodies, and now What I’m Worth dives into darker waters with churning riffs and fiery vocals from frontman Joey Chiaramonte. 

“A lot of bands think their second album has to be this magnum opus epic that sews so many things together, and I think we’d actually taken more of that approach with our first LP, ” explains Chiaramonte. “So with Barely Here we wanted to do the opposite of that trajectory–we wanted to refine our strengths instead of doing this purposeful departure. It’s a snapshot of what our band is in its most no-frills, perfected form.”
