Would You Miss It?
Banquet exclusive LP is on 'half maroon / half white' coloured vinyl. /250.The new full length album from the awesome Pure Noise signed punk-rockers Koyo.Would You Miss It? is the kind of album that could only be made by a group of self-proclaimed genre-obsessives. It’s why Koyo can seamlessly transition from playing the This Is Hardcore festival to opening for Bayside, because they make perfect sense no matter what bill they’re on. That natural musical dexterity is what fostered collaborations with Glassjaw’s Daryl Palumbo (“Message Like A Bomb”), Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife (“What’s Left To Say”), and Vein. FM’s Anthony DiDio (“Flatline Afternoon”) on songs where each part was written specifically with the guest vocalist in mind. Each person fits right into Koyo’s musical language,and expresses the range of sounds and feelings the band can express at any given time.Taken in full,Would You Miss It?is the coming-of-age tale of five friends joining together to take on the world. Fueled by a love for music, and a shared creative bond, Koyo sets the bar for the new wave of Long Island bands. As Chiaramonte notes on “Anthem,” a lyrical love letter to Long Island scenes of the past, present, and future, “the best is yet to come.” Pay attention, because you won’t want to miss it.

You Said It
Deep into the touring cycle of our debut record we recorded a secret show at RAK studios in London, which subsequently became our "Live At RAK" album. We were so impressed with the sound the engineer, Mike Horner (Everything Everything, Hot Chip, Franz Ferdinand), got out of us that we made the decision to team up together on our second album.We spent the rest of that year hard at work touring and writing, ending up with around twenty five songs, and then holed ourselves up at Nave Studios in Leeds where we both teamed up with in-house engineer Tom Orrell and made a record together.Lyrically the album deals with coming of age type introspections, having grown up a lot since our debut record, feelings of wanderlust and heartbreak. We also agreed from the outset that we wanted this album to be more immediate and hard hitting, focusing on a less is more approach, apparent in tracks like "Same Mistake Twice", "Ostracised" and "You Said It". We also wanted to capture the rawness and live energy felt in our live shows, while retaining a polished, modern production sheen. I think we came closest to achieving this on album closer "Against All Odds". Either way, we're extremely proud of our achievement and how far we've come during the process. We hope you enjoy listening to it.

Sunday 15th February
at The Fighting Cocks, 6:00pm (18+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).Arm's Length visit Kingston to play at The Fighting Cocks, and they're bringing Koyo, Ben Quad and Shoreline for support.There’s a song on There’s A Whole World Out There, the second album by Canadian four-piece Arm’s Length, called “Palinopsia”. Derived from the Greek for “again” (palin) and “seeing” (opsia), it’s a visual phenomenon marked by the persistent image of something that’s no longer actually there. Singer and lyricist Allen Steinberg wrote the song wrote about “pure devotion or love towards someone that may no longer be a part of your life”, but it also applies to the record as a whole. Because throughout this album’s 12 songs, Steinberg wrestles a with the part of life that’s been and gone. Yet there’s a noticeable difference between the person who wrote this record compared to the one who wrote Arm’s Length’s 2022 debut, Never Before Seen, Never Again Found. -Doors: 6:00Shoreline: 7:00Ben Quad: 7:45Koyo: 8:30Arm’s Length: 9:30-The Fighting Cocks is an 18+ venue.

Tuesday 4th July
at The Fighting Cocks, 7:00pm (18+)
Admission will be via e-ticket. Your e-ticket will be delivered to your email address in time for the show (typically the day before the event).Koyo visit Kingston to play at The Fighting Cocks whilst on a UK run and are bringing special guests Fleshwater and Fussy with them.There’s a lot of musical history on Long Island, especially when it comes to hardcore and punk. It was that heritage that the six members of Koyo wanted to pay homage to with their band. Formed in 2019, the six-piece – vocalist Joey Chairamonte, guitarists Harold Griffin, TJ Rotolico and Mike Marazzo, bassist Stephen Spanos and drummer Sal Argento – all played in different bands in the scene but had been friends for years. It was when they all happened to be home at the same time that idea of a new project was floated and Koyo started life. They managed one gig before the pandemic hit, but the subsequent downtime allowed them the time to really hone their craft and the direction of the band. “Our goal isn’t so much to exit where we came from,” explains Griffin, “but to stretch the boundaries of what we can be and what Koyo is. We’re heavily influenced by the early- to mid-2000s hardcore-adjacent emo and pop-punk scene. It specifically catered to Long Island bands when it started, but now what Koyo is probably relates to other bands that aren’t so geographically concentrated. They can be from anywhere – it’s more the timeframe that’s more called back to with what we write.”-TIMES CONFIRMED7:00pm - DOORS8:00pm - FUSSY8:45pm - FLESHWATER9:30pm - KOYO-Support is coming from Fleshwater and Fussy.The Fighting Cocks is an 18+ venue.
