You Me At Six - Night People




1. Who are they?

You Me At Six are a popular punk pop band from Weybridge, England. Their last three albums charted at number 5, 3 and 1 in the UK album charts in that order. Night People (Aug’16) is the lead single from You Me At Six’s fifth album Night People (Jan’17).  


2. What have the lads got on the go?

Night People is as deep as a puddle but it swaggers out with a grimey riff and pounding drums, layers on some "whoahs," and slaps down a head nodding chorus. A "Hey diddle, diddle, straight up the middle" rock anthem. 


3. Who do You Me At Six sound like?

Sounds like Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Royal Blood (at a bloody stretch). 


4. What have those lazy bastards in the press said about Night People

“The chorus and drums fire you up” – Red Brick.

“A dirty, heavily distorted blues rock earworm” – Inspired By Reviews. 

“A much cooler swagger” – Loose Cardigan Of Ideas.






5. Which bands influenced You Me At Six?

The main You Me At Six influences are Blink-182, Incubus, Thrice, Rage Against The Machine and The Foo Fighters. 


6. Why should I give Night People a lash?

Night People has a banging riff and a slathering of strut. Mindless fun. 


7. Do You Me At Six have any other barn burners?

Well Fresh Start Fever is alright.


8. Any more words? 

Night People is produced by Jacquire King (Switchfoot, Kings Of Leon and The Airborne Toxic Event).




“Raise a glass to tomorrow’s blues”









The Airborne Toxic Event are a superb indie rock band from Los Angeles, California. They formed in 2006 and have five long players in the bag. They have been compared to Cold War Kids, The Strokes and Arcade Fire and are influenced by bands like U2, David Bowie, The Clash and The Smiths. Does This Mean You're Moving On (2009) is the fourth single from their self-titled first album The Airborne Toxic Event (2008) and is a song that channels heartbreak into a whiskey drenched Irish gig and an indie rock anthem. 



“Oh Christ she’s not alone, alone, alone,
And my heart sinks like a stone, a stone, a stone,
And the tears won’t even come, I’m so numb”
