WhAt’S In ThE BoX?! Summer’s awesome. That’s not me making a contentious point or anything, it’s just a fact. I’ve never had any time for the boring bastards who are all like, ‘Summer’s crap, it just rains all the time!’ because a) it doesn’t and b) even if it did, I’d rather be in a field watching bands in the rain than sitting in school / college / work / whatever thinking, ‘Damn, I wish I wasn’t stuck at this desk.’ With that in mind, I hope the one feeling you get after putting this issue down is excitement – You Me At Six will certainly be feeling the anticipation, and I reckon this summer will mean huge things for them. Just don’t forget the suncream, right?

mer will mean huge things for them. Just
