You Me At Six Going Soph
. Their propelling live performances at the Alternative Press Fall Ball Tour last year (with The Academy Is..., Mayday Parade, Set Your Goals and The Secret Handshake) and the August leg of Van's Warped Tour, demanded a return to the US this year to celebrate the release of Hold Me Down. Hold Me Down finds the Surrey, UK quintet fulfilling their potential with a collection of soaring hooks and irresistible melodies. It captures You Me At Six's live exuberance with "Playing The Blame Game" breaching the gap between pop-punk energy and the snappy immediacy of new wave, while "Safer To Hate Her" alternates between a tender, melancholic riff and a fiercely defiant chorus. But Hold Me Down demonstrates that the band aren't reliant on pure energy as closing track "Fireworks" escalates from its initial reflective tone into a soaring conclusion. The album also highlights a guest appearance from Kids In Glass Houses vocalist Aled Phillips on "Trophy Eyes." An air raid siren heralds the hi-octane thrills of album opener "The Consequence," plus it features guest vocals courtesy of The Blackout's Sean Smith. The first full single to be taken from Hold Me Down will be the crunchy power-pop attack of "Underdog." The album was produced by John Mitchell (Funeral For A Friend, Enter Shikari, Architects) and Matt O'Grady (The Blackout, Hexes), and mastered by Bob Ludwig (Radiohead, Coldplay, Pearl Jam).
