Koyo are back with the announcement of their sophomore album, Barely Here, arriving May 8 via Pure Noise Records. Clocking in at ten songs in just 28 minutes, Barely Here is a lean blast of incredibly anthemic punk. All of the band’s familiar Long Island DNA is there (the firecracker guts of The Movielife, the widescreen hooks of Taking Back Sunday, the tuneful grit of Silent Majority) but the sound of Koyo themselves shines through more than ever.
To mark the announcement the band have shared Barely Here’s lead single, Irreversible a revved up cut of huge guitars and melodies to match. It’s the perfect introduction to Koyo’s next chapter and sure to inspire singalongs on the band’s truly packed 2026 touring schedule.
