KOYO – Would You Miss It?
American post-hardcore bands have consistently excelled in crafting guitar riffs that elicit powerful emotional responses. The debut album by KOYO, a fresh addition to the Long Island music scene, demonstrates this skill right from the outset. Without uttering a single word, “51st State” conjures a blend of euphoria and sorrow. As the vocals kick in, the emotional impact intensifies. It’s akin to standing on a beach, witnessing the most breathtaking sunset of your life, all while grappling with the loss of your closest friend.

Make Them Suffer share “Doomswitch” video
“Doomswitch’ is a term coined by online poker players used to describe a hypothesized mechanism by which an online poker site will continually infer bad luck onto a player,” reveals the band about this new single. “Sean related to this term and, at the time, it felt as if a ‘Doomswitch’ had flicked on his life, so we used the concept as the main inspiration for the song. We’ve adopted a new element into our sound along with the inclusion of a new member: Alex. This song marks a new chapter and the next step forward for the band and the sonic shift in ‘Doomswitch’ really drives that home.”

The Devil Wears Prada – Color Decay
The new album “Color Decay” by The Devil Wears Prada is another step into the adult songwriting of the band and shows once more what the band is capable of.

Their sound today is rocking, melancholic, aggressive and sometimes all that in just one song. A multi-faceted band that has proven itself once again.
