Ahead of the release off their debut album Would You Miss It?, Koyo have shared the single “Message Like A Bomb” featuring Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw and Head Automatica. The track follows “Anthem” and “You’re On The List (Minus One).” Would You Miss It? drops on September 29th, via Pure Noise Records (Knocked Loose, Drug Church).

Vocalist Joey Chiaramonte discussed working with Palumbo on the new song, saying:

“”Message Like A Bomb” is a sweet ballad, anthemic track, with some real venom layered underneath it. It’s a song fueled by my distaste for a lot of the things I see around me as the band grows in scope and size, as well as the scene surrounding us does the same. I’m not the hater type, but whatever hater energy exists in me is laced into this song. This song also gave us the opportunity to have Daryl Palumbo of Glassjaw and Head Automatica do a feature on the track and that’s been surreal. Glassjaw is one of my favorite bands, and Daryl is one of the greatest creatives of my lifetime, or at least that’s how I feel. We reached out to him about this feature, kinda taking a shot in the dark about a year prior to it actually happening, and he responded all that time later out of nowhere completely down to do it. His swag, character, and nuance, is now baked and layered into various parts of the track. The final mix via Jon Markson left me speechless. It’s been an honor beyond any words I could assemble to have him on this track.”
