Debut album from this stellar group. Not available for Japan/UK/Europe

2011 release, the third album from the British Alt-Rock band. The highly-anticipated follow-up to Hold Me Down, Sinners Never Sleep was recorded in Los Angeles in early 2011 with producer Garth Richardson (Funeral For A Friend, Biffy Clyro and Rage Against The Machine). The album features guest appearances from Bring Me The Horizon frontman Oli Sykes and Parkway Drive vocalist Winston McCall. EMI.

2010 sophomore album from the British Alt-Rockers. You Me At Six's emergence is a DIY Punk dream come true: one unsigned suburban Rock outfit - zapped through with sinewy guitar riffs and can't-get-you-out-of-my-head harmonies - are suddenly rocket launched from Surrey's suburban toilet circuit into the festival big time and onto Radio One's playlist with only a MySpace fan page to light the fuel. Along the way, the five piece amass a fan base of thousands. They score upwards of two million hits on YouTube for the homemade video and support the likes of arena big hitters, Fall Out Boy and Fightstar. With Hold Me Down, You Me At Six show no signs of slowing down their dizzy ascent. Virgin.

Not much more than a year ago, a tiny, unknown band from Texas put out their debut record Young Mountain through Magic Bullet Records, a 6-song, 36 minute disc originally only intended to be a DIY demo sold at local shows. It's fair to say that nobody could have predicted the year to follow, one in which THIS WILL DESTROY YOU went from local heroes to international darlings. The phenomenon took hold shortly after a brief basement tour of the west coast with labelmates SPARROWS SWARM AND SING. After a fun trip filled with good times and surprisingly large audiences (this was their first time out of Texas), the band returned home, unknowingly settling into what would become the eye of the storm to follow. Reviews of the album began to pour in, all singing unanimous praise. Even Pitchfork liked it... inciting a scramble for the record at retail and online (the band became one of iTunes' top artists in 2007). This parlayed into the THIS WILL DESTROY YOU being name-checked in publications like Rolling Stone and ultimately being awarded '2006 Album Of The Year' by Rock Sound editor Darren Taylor. 2007 saw even more growth for the band, as their music started seeing placement in everything from skateboarding and paintball videos to cable networks (VH1, Fuel, MTV) to independent documentary films and even major studio films. In one of the most bizarre events possible, the music of THIS WILL DESTROY YOU was present during a high-profile briefing and presentation before the nation's top military brass inside the Pentagon (yes, THAT Pentagon) concerning the failed efforts of Hurricane Katrina. Meanwhile, the band stayed active on the live front, stealing the show at a sold-out SXSW showcase and accepting an invitation to tour the U.S. with soon-to-be-upstaged-every-single-night FEAR BEFORE THE MARCH OF FLAMES. S/T is the second album from THIS WILL DESTROY YOU, clocking in a 7 tracks and 52 minutes.  Recorded and produced by John Congleton (EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, MODEST MOUSE, R. KELLY), it is a stunning and worthy follow-up to Young Mountain.  Darker and seamlessly more dynamic and emotionally gripping than its predecessor, S/T is primed and ready to push their entire genre forward and continue to win the band hearts and minds across the planet.  This is a landmark album by a band that will inevitably be mentioned in the same breath as MOGWAI and SIGUR ROS without hesitation.  Dive in.

Tunnel Blanket delivers the epic-in-scope soundscapes that followers of its makers' previous recordings are accustomed to, but presents them in new lights where once the sun shone down bright upon immediate tropes and traits, now their work is better suited to distant starlight, casting changeable shadows across vistas of inspired, ambitious amplification. This is not an album to pick through in search of bold hooks and instant melodies. It is an ever-shifting, always moving work, which seems to evolve before the listener.

'U.X.O. is unexploded ordnance is landmines is cluster bombs. Yanqui is post-colonial imperialism is international police state is multinational corporate oligarchy. Godspeed You! Black Emperor is complicit is guilty is resisting. The new album is just music.' Recorded by Steve Albini at electrical audio in Chicago. Mixed by Howard Bilerman and Godspeed You! Black Emperor at the Hotel2tango in Montreal. Stubborn tiny lights vs. clustering darkness forever ok? Gatefold sleeve. Constellation Records. 2002.

It used to be pretty easy to describe THIS WILL DESTROY YOU. I could pen something like 'a cascading brand of cinematic rock music' and everything was cool for a bit. But then dudes were rolling to shows, going straight up front, snapping pictures of the pedalboards, rebuilding them at home, essentially re-recording Young Mountain, and sending it in to the label thinking that we should put it out. It was a weird time and it sent all involved down different paths of musical inspiration and exploration for future recordings and general direction. Somewhere after the recording of S/T, the departure of Raymond Brown (original bassist) eventually led the band to the more permanent fixture of Donovan Jones. And somewhere after the recording of the Field Studies split CD/LP, Alex Bhore came on board to relieve Andrew Miller of drum duty.

What made the first two albums work like they did and sound like they did was ultimately the dynamics between the personnel and their individual backgrounds and expertise. It was one of the more unique brands of band/songwriting alchemy I'd experienced in working with countless other bands to that point. Without speaking out of school, I had never seen four people go through what they went through in order to get to the end result. It was intense, but it was highly effective and passionate.

So when two key components to the original equation are removed, where does a young band under the microscope take it from there? The answer, it would seem, is a very dark dive from out on the fringe and into the abyss. What once was a band that you could play over the holidays, in the office, in the coffee shop, and video-sync anything to is now something more along the lines of what you'd listen to with the shades drawn and the lights out, most likely lighting candles in preparation for some sort of mythic and secretive ceremony to follow. When you first hear the current incarnation of the band, you're going to be in for a shock. Straight up. But before you can even think to run for the door, they've already got their teeth out and claws dug in. Whereas their early work may have 'destroyed' your inability to get nostalgic or emotional, the current lineup seems intent on ACTUALLY destroying you. Think Warchild from Point Break.
