You Me at Six came out of Weybridge, Surrey, with a name that started life as shorthand for Friday night plans made after a gig, which suits a band this rooted in the teenage rush of going out. Josh Franceschi sang, Max Helyer and Chris Miller played guitars, Matt Barnes played bass and Dan Flint drummed, and they grew up on American rock, from Blink-182, Incubus and Thrice, with a bit of Arctic Monkeys in the mix.
Take Off Your Colours broke them in 2008, pop-punk with emo's heart on its sleeve, and Hold Me Down and Sinners Never Sleep kept climbing, the latter going gold with "Loverboy" on board. Cavalier Youth, in 2014, went straight to number one in the UK: a bigger, cleaner, arena-sized rock record carried by "Lived a Lie" and "Room to Breathe". Kerrang! had already named them Best British Band in 2011, and they toured with Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Thirty Seconds to Mars, All Time Low and Bring Me the Horizon, plus Warped Tour and Soundwave.
Night People got mixed reviews in 2017, VI followed in 2018, and Suckapunch gave them a second number-one album in 2021. Truth Decay, in 2023, was the eighth and last studio album. In February 2024 they announced they would split after one final tour in 2025.
