You Me At Six




Sorry I haven't posted much, no I didn't fall off the face of the planet I was on vacation :D So here's the album review I promised...

You Me At Six, the British alternative rock band released their sophomore album titled Hold Me Down which is due to be released in America March 16th, while in their native Britain the album debuted on January 11th, taking number five on the UK Albums Chart. Perhaps in a reflection of the time with a mix of personal experience that the a reemerging theme that binds the album together is unfaithfulness, and prevails in songs like: Underdog, Fireworks and There's No Such Thing as Accidental Infidelity (maybe Tiger could take a few tips?). No longer young teens the band took a darker route with their second album, experimenting with post-hardcore elements which can clearly be seen in the first single, The Consequence. You Me At Six successfully avoids a sophmore slump by sticking to their rock roots while still expanding and trying new things with guitar riffs, punk choruses, and working with bands such as Kids in Glass Houses and The Blackout.
Key Tracks:
The Consequence
Underdog

Band of the Week #2


I knew about this band for a while, if you can call it a band, with only one member it's perhaps not the most highly supported band, but he was an internet sensation. And without further adu, time for you to listen to some Nevershoutnever!
Christofer Drew Ingle plays either acoustic guitar or his handy ukulele with his high tenor voice singing playful love songs that would make any girl envy his muse. At only eighteen things are looking good. Hopefully I'll get to see him when he comes to play in May with some others you may know, The Cab, Every Avenue, and The Summer Set as part of The AP Tour!
