Joey Chiaramonte (Koyo)

Joey Chiaramonte is the vocalist for Koyo, a Long Island melodic hardcore band that has exploded onto the scene in the past few years. During this interview, Joey talks about Koyo’s busy touring schedule and the highlights of playing alongside scene elder statesmen Silverstein and Bayside. We also hear about Koyo’s highly anticipated debut full length, which is slated to come out later this year despite the record being finished for months now. Koyo’s future is bright and we are so excited to watch them continue to grow.
