Koyo announce new album ‘Barely Here’
KOYO have announced a brand new album!
The Long Island melodic punk outfit have announced their sophomore album, Barely Here, set for release on May 8th 2026 via Pure Noise Records. The record serves as the follow‑up to their 2023 debut Would You Miss It?.
Produced, engineered, and mixed by longtime collaborator Jon Markson (DRUG CHURCH, DRAIN, THE STORY SO FAR), and featuring guest appearances from Sammy Ciaramitaro of DRAIN and Marisa Shirar of FLESHWATER, Barely Here intends to capture a band fully locked into their identity.
Speaking about the album, vocalist Joey Chiaramonte explains, “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. 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.”
To mark the announcement, the band have released the album’s lead single Irreversible, which is accompanied by an official music video.
