Crowd and a load more — but there’s one band standing head and shoulders above the rest: You Me At Six. And that’s because, in ‘Sinners Never Sleep’, they’ve written the album they always threatened to make — it’s honest, bold, damaged and brave, and pretty bloody great at the same time. Andy Kelham’s fantastic cover feature gets right to the heart of a band who’ve had to do a lot of growing up over the past five years, and we’re ultra-stoked to have them back. Now, as soon as Damian lets me go, I’m off to get some rest.
