Koyo "Drives Out East" 7"

Color vinyl. Blue with white splatter. 

Last year, a bunch of members of extremely heavy hardcore bands — including Typecaste, SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Rain Of Salvation, Hangman, and Adrenaline — got together to form the new Long Island supergroup Koyo. Koyo are not an extremely heavy hardcore band, though they have their moments. Instead, the band taps into a rich historic vein of Long Island emo and melodic hardcore, including poppy stuff like Taking Back Sunday and the Movielife. They’re awfully good at that stuff.
