Following their sixth album VI last year, which I really enjoyed, You Me at Six are back tonight with a new single!

The preview sounds brilliant, can't wait to hear where they go next

I didn't foresee them back so soon, looking forward to this.

Album is titled 'SUCKAPUNCH', 'MAKEMEFEELALIVE' is out now - and what a banger this is! I can't wait to hear what track this leads into given the ending...

Yes good they are back. The Swarm is still one of my favourite chart hits of the 2010s. Neither of these new songs are anywhere near as good imo but still good though, I prefer Beautiful Way to Makemefeelalive.

The title track 'SUCKAPUNCH' is Hottest Record tonight!


Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 26th November 2020, 10:38 PM

So good! I'm very excited for this album, doing the pop-heavy mix much better than VI so far


Posted by: JustSnakeyHoney 26th November 2020, 11:19 PM

This new one is very good, am liking the electronic influence, reminds me a bit of Muse.

Posted by: Michael Bubré 9th December 2020, 03:41 PM

'SUCKAPUNCH' is quite a tune - interesting to see them experimenting with more electronic sounds, kind of similar to some of Bring Me The Horizon's recent stuff (I don't think this pulls off the trick quite as well as 'nihilist blues' but it's still good stuff).

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 31st December 2020, 04:35 PM

"ADRENALINE" is out tonight, sounds a bit Imagine Dragons! (a good thing in my book x)


Posted by: Slade 31st December 2020, 04:40 PM

Hype! 'SUCKAPUNCH' has quickly become my favourite thing they've ever done ohmy.gif

Posted by: Christmasteve201 31st December 2020, 11:00 PM

Yeh ‘Sukapunch’ definetly made me sit up and take notice of them for the first time in a decade!

Posted by: Road Salt Mixer 31st December 2020, 11:41 PM

Suckapunch is now my second favourite of their songs after The Swarm. It's a pity they don't have much chance of making the singles side of the UK chart any more.

Remember the days when You Me At 6 used to storm to number one on iTunes when first released!

Posted by: lewistgreen 1st January 2021, 12:35 AM

This is very imagine dragons

Posted by: FestiveOdyssey 2nd January 2021, 10:06 AM

Big fan!

What an album cheeseblock.png

Have had it on repeat since it was released, always astounds me that they are not 100 times more successful than they are.

Posted by: ___∆___ 19th January 2021, 01:36 PM

#1 in the mids - really hope they can hold on cheer.gif They are rallying fans to buy a copy if they haven’t done so and it’s had some impact on iTunes etc.,

When they first came on to the scene they were very much emo bounce for teenage girls and I think it was hard for them to shred that image, especially at a time when you had Lostprophets, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Panic!, My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World etc. around - I was a huge Kids In Glass Houses fan at the time too and I thought they always struggled to break the mainstream too as the market was too saturated.

I was huge fan of theirs between 2009-2012 and then kind of grew out of the sound and I haven't really been a fan of any of their recent stuff. Going to give this a listen to as

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 22nd January 2021, 07:09 PM

And this now marks a second #1 album for them!

Posted by: Jade 25th January 2021, 02:21 PM

Congrats to them cheer.gif

My appreciation for the title track swiftly turned into obsession as it spent 2 weeks at the top of my chart. But then I felt a bit underwhelmed by 'Adrenaline'. However, my interest for the album quickly came back due to hearing 'Glasgow' on New Music Friday - wow, the way that song builds! So I decided to make 'SUCKAPUNCH' the first new album that I checked out in 2021 this morning happy.gif I must admit that I was a little worried because I didn't particularly love any of the first three songs, but then 'WYDRN' really grabbed me and that's followed by 'SUCKAPUNCH', so yay, it was turning around now. That continued further as I really enjoyed 'Kill The Mood', particularly the guitar work. Then... 'Adrenaline' grew on me quite a lot second time!! I still think the chorus is a bit too much of an Imagine Dragons rip-off but the rest of it was standing out a lot more today. 'Finish What I Started' was then another highlight, definitely the one that cut deep the most lyrically for me. 'What's It Like' then a strong note to finish on with its more out-there production. I'm impressed by the way they incorporated genre-blending without it feeling forced or anything. So overall I'd say it was a slow start but I ended up having a good number of highlights to take away. Maybe the ones I was less taken in by could grow like 'Adrenaline' did.

My top 5 right now:

01. SUCKAPUNCH
02. Glasgow
03. What's It Like
04. Finish What I Started
05. WYDRN

The violet vinyl on their store looks lovely and I get paid on Wednesday so might look into getting it to help cushion their week #2 fall kink.gif

The bundles with the hot sauce though laugh.gif
