Ómoia
Ómoia are an alternative rock and emo band from Leeds, UK, known for fusing melodic intensity, emotive vulnerability, and genre‑defying heaviness into a sound that feels both raw and expansive. Their music traverses elements of emo, melodic post‑hardcore, alt‑rock and progressive dynamics, all anchored by heartfelt lyricism and compelling vocal delivery.
Formed in 2022, Ómoia have steadily carved out a presence in the UK underground with emotionally driven releases and powerful thematic content. In 2024 they released the EP The Sickness, and in 2025 they followed up with the evocative double single “The Love We Keep”, pairing introspective vulnerability in “In This Moment” with politically charged resonance in “Section 28” — a track reflecting on the impact of the UK’s historical Section 28 law and its legacy of suppression.
Their 2025 EP Anthology continued to expand their sonic palette, showcasing a band unafraid to balance softer melodic textures with bursts of emotional aggression. Recently released tracks like “Why Am I Like This?” confront themes of trauma and resilience with a fiercer, more defiant energy.
Live, Ómoia bring an immersive, impassioned presence to UK stages, building connection through both vulnerability and intensity. As they continue to evolve, the band remain committed to honest expression, community identity, and pushing the emotional boundaries of their sound.
