An increased touring schedule and overcoming an almost break up culminated in the release of 2011's Sinners Never Sleep, beefing up You Me At Six's sound and proving the band were more than just another pop-rock act. Three years later and their latest release, Cavalier Youth has failed to capitalise on the growth and power of its predecessor...

Cavalier Youth It's 10 years since the band were formed in Weybridge, and almost six years since their impressive Take Off Your Clothes that led them to wider audience. Now midway through their twenties the band are starting to grow up - and it will be interesting to see whether the fans grow up with them. The statement of intent of those opening two tracks is followed by the Fall Out Boy-like Fresh Start Fever and Win Some, Lose Some, with heavy guitar and catchy hooks used to full effect...

You Me At Six probably would be the first to tell you their last album, Sinners Never Sleep, suffered from severe personality disorder. (Let's be real: Shoehorning in mosh calls from the likes of Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes was never this band's forte.) Instead, on Cavalier Youth, the English quintet have focused on where their future lies: as full-blown rock stars...

Release Date: January 28, 2014 Every album doesn't need to be a quantum leap. Once a band's locked into a future-proof, working sound, it's time to tinker - not reinvent. You Me At Six did the heavy lifting with 2011's Sinners Never Sleep, expanding their polished pop-punk to wider rock in their best record to date. With that proverbial artistic leap out of the way, the Brit Quintet have focused on rounding out the edges with Cavalier Youth, the full realization of a band meant to shine...

Whatever your thoughts may be concerning English rockers You Me At Six, each of their previous full-length releases came with a purpose that was ultimately realized. 2008 debut 'Take Off Your Colours' placed the band on the map, being both fun and catchy, but also showing maturity and a knack for ambitious song structure. While generic and overly Americanized, follow-up 'Hold Me Down' beefed up their sound and gained the quintet a larger fanbase...

For a hard rock band who have covered songs by Ellie Goulding and Jessie J, Surrey quintet You Me at Six are surprisingly short on idiosyncrasies. Their fourth album, all formulaic riffs, festival-friendly choruses and timeworn sentiments (Too Young to Feel This Old, Be Who You Are), is corporate alt-rock at its most pedestrian, the reflective Wild Ones the only song of note...

I want to like You Me At Six. I do. I really do. But something about them, particularly in 'Hold Me Down', reminds me way too much of Panic! At The Disco. Who are shit. Really shit. Like, steaming pile of dog shit, shit. However, what You Me At Six don't have are annoying American twangs to their vocals (but only just), and, like most Ramen-ites and Ramen-alikes, they are catchy as hell. I just have to listen to one song once and already I'm humming along to it on the next listen. Curse or gift...
