May I present to you You Me At Six, all the way from Weybridge, Surrey. The band formed in 2004 and have since made a name for themselves not only overseas but in the states as well. The band is made up of John Franceschi (Vox), Chris Miller (Guitar). Max Helyer (Guitar/Vox), Matt Barnes (Bass) and Dan Flint (Drums).
The band first began building their empire in the United Kingdom in 2004. Starting off small and playing a bunch of local shows as well as releasing two EPs; We Know What It’s Like To Be Alone in 2005 & Untitled 4 Track Ep in 2007. After an appearance at Slam Dunk Festival in 07 they signed with Slam Dunk Records which brought forth their debut album Take Off Your Colours which entered the UK Charts at #25.
In July of 2009 You Me At Six’s ‘Take Off Your Colours’ hit stores in the US and has caused a stir. In fact, the boys are signed up to join The Academy Is…, Mayday Parade and others are the first ever Alternative Press Fall Ball Tour, be sure to check it out!
So I just realized that today is Thursday not Wednesday and that I didn’t read your recommendation.
Once I again you are getting me to finally listen to a band I have been meaning to check out but I haven’t cause I’m lazy.
You are my music motivator.
