Also check out the band’s behind the scenes footage for the video to their new single ‘Jealous Minds Think Alike:
A collection of 13 anthems for our time, Take Off Your Colours reflects the changing musical landscape within the current UK rock scene. No longer are most bands striving to go back to their hardcore roots. They are influenced by bands such as Fall Out Boy and Paramore, who still belonging to the scene have incorporated an element of pop into their guitar heavy song writing to produce Radio One worthy hits.
All of the fan favourites feature on the record including Gossip, Save It For The Bedroom and If I Were In Your Shoes – the first three You Me At Six single releases and long-standing tracks on the band’s popular MySpace page. New track Jealous Minds Think Alike is also sure to win their fans over with its adrenaline fuelling introduction and powerful sing-along chorus. Title track Take Off Your Colours is another hit, less upbeat than other numbers the chorus still makes its listeners want to head bang along whilst on You’ve Made Your Bed (So Sleep In It) Franceschi honestly sings, “You’ve made your bed, so sleep in it… The games that girls will play makes me move away so I can train, train myself to trust again.”
