You Me At Six ready new album

You Me At Six look set to cement their rise from underground heroes to mainstream success with the January 11th release of their second album 'Hold Me Down' on Virgin Records. 'Hold Me Down' is the follow up to their 2008 debut 'Take Off Your Colours.'

An air raid siren heralds the hi-octane thrills of album opener 'The Consequence' which will preview the album when it's released as a free download from the official You Me At Six website on November 25th 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' due for release on 7th February 2010.

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).

However, it's been You Me At Six's famously adrenalized live shows that have cemented their growing reputation as one of the UK's most exciting ascending bands. The band will conclude 2009 with an arena tour as guests to Paramore, before returning for a full UK headline tour in March 2010 that concludes with a show at Brixton Academy.
