KOYO Delivers Impressive Performance at Manchester's Castle Hotel

A recent conversation in a Facebook music group highlighted a desire for the revival of serious music programs like The Old Grey Whistle Test, with participants arguing that while there are many talented non-mainstream bands, they lack exposure. KOYO is showcased as a band pushing musical boundaries with their album Onism, which is considered one of 2024's highlights. The live performance at The Castle Hotel featured support acts Concrete Forest and Oceanless, both contributing to an engaging musical experience. Concrete Forest delivered a mix of alt-rock and indie, while Oceanless, now a duo, captivated the audience with their dynamic performances. The event underscores the need for platforms that promote diverse musical talent beyond mainstream offerings. This reflects a broader sentiment that more quality music should be highlighted on prime-time television.
