You Me At Six will release their latest studio album ‘SUCKAPUNCH’ in January. So far the band have shared the singles ‘MAKEMEFEELALIVE’, ‘Beautiful Way’ and the album’s title track.
Speaking to NME about the forthcoming album, frontman Josh Franceschi said: “It takes the traditional You Me At Six sound and gives it a fresh feel which is what we wanted for this album. On our last album ‘VI’, it felt like we were sparring with the idea of the next step for the band.
“With ‘SUCKAPUNCH’ it feels like we’re there. We now understand how to implement our interests in hip-hop and R&B without it feeling forced or contrived. I don’t think anybody has heard our band do what we are doing right now.”
Earlier this month, the Surrey band launched their own hot sauce, named after the album. The vegan hot sauce, created in collaboration with Lou’s Brews, is limited to 200 bottles and comes only with pre-orders of the new record.
