Koyo is an American melodic hardcore band formed in 2020 in Stony Brook, New York. The band was formed as a supergroup of hardcore bands including SeeYouSpaceCowboy, with vocalist Joey Chiaramonte hailing from the band Typecaste. They released their debut EP Painting Words Into Lines in March 2020.[3] In 2022, Koyo signed a record deal with Pure Noise Records.[4]
Koyo formed in 2020 in Stony Brook, New York; the band describes themselves as playing "Stony Brook hardcore."[6] Most of Koyo's members played in other hardcore bands such as SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Typecaste, Rain of Salvation, Hangman and Adrenaline. As all of the members were longtime friends before deciding to record music together, the ultimate goal was to "start more bands with the same core group of friends and see what sticks," according to vocalist Joey Chiaramonte, who is also the bassist of the band Typecaste. Another band, Soul Provider, also came out of this exercise.[7]
Originally named The L Word after the song "Taming the L Word" by Long Island melodic hardcore band Silent Majority, guitarist Mike Marazzo suggested the name "Koyo", named after the Japanese term for the colors of leaves changing in autumn.[8]
On March 14, 2020, the band released their debut EP Painting Words Into Lines.[3] This was followed by the EP Drives Out East on July 6, 2021.[5] The EP's lead single "Moriches", named after Moriches Road on Long Island, came out a week earlier along with a music video.[9]
On March 7, 2022, Koyo signed to Pure Noise Records and released a new single, "Ten Digits Away".[4]
Koyo toured in the fall of 2021 with Anxious as a USA headliner. In the spring of 2022, the band supported Knocked Loose.[10] They have toured in support of Stick to Your Guns. They are supporting Silverstein in Europe in November 2022. The band has also played a number of hardcore festivals all across the United States including LDB Fest, FYA Fest, Sound & Fury, and the Triple B Showcase, among others.
On May 18, 2023, Koyo announced that their debut LP, "Would You Miss It?", will be released on September 29, 2023. The band also released a lead single, "You're On The List (minus one)", along with a music video.
