Sinners Never Sleep is the third studio album to be recorded by English rock band You Me at Six. It was released on 3 October 2011, through Virgin Records. While touring in support of their second studio album Hold Me Down (2010), the band wrote slow-tempo material and heavy-sounding songs. Between March and May 2011, the band recorded with producer Garth Richardson at Sunset Sound and The Sound Factory in Los Angeles, California. Partway through the process, Franceschi suffered a panic attack, which resulted in him being hospitalized and the band losing time in the studio. The alternative rock and pop rock album was a departure from the pop punk sound of their previous releases.

The album's lead single "Loverboy" was released as part an Extended Play (EP) in September 2011. Bookending the release, You Me at Six went on a co-headlining Australian tour with We the Kings and a headlining UK tour. "Bite My Tongue" was released as the second single in December 2011. Sinners Never Sleep was released in the United States in January 2012, coinciding with a co-headlining US tour with the Swellers. You Me at Six then toured Australia as part of the Soundwave festival, and the UK. "No One Does It Better" was released as the third single in April 2012 and "Reckless" as the fourth single in October 2012, which preceded a one-off headlining show at Wembley Arena.

Sinners Never Sleep received generally positive reviews from music critics, some of whom complimented You Me at Six's songwriting and their change in style. The album charted at number three in the UK, number 28 in Australia, and number 39 in Ireland. "Loverboy" and "No One Does It Better" charted at number 39 and 92, respectively, on the UK Singles Chart. Sinners Never Sleep has been certified gold in the UK; by January 2017, it had sold over 160,000 copies in that country.

Background[]

You Me at Six's second album Hold Me Down, which was released in January 2010,[1] reached number five in the UK albums chart – one of the highest chart positions for a rock band that year. Following numerous tours, tension within the band was rising as the members became sick of one another.[2] In April, vocalist Josh Franceschi, and guitarists Max Helyer and Chris Miller spent time writing new songs together while bassist Matt Barnes and drummer Dan Flint went to Las Vegas for a break.[3] Following this, the band made their second appearance on the Warped Tour; their popularity in the US had grown since their first appearance. While on the tour, Franceschi said the band's next album would be influenced by acts to whom they were listening, such as the Ghost Inside, A Loss for Words and Parkway Drive; he thought the next album could be "a bit heavier" than their earlier work [4] because they preferred listening to heavy music while on tour.[5]

In August 2010, Franceschi announced the band would be writing for a new album as early as November, saying; "[Y]ou can't tour an album for two years anymore ... You've got to keep bringing new stuff out".[6] He said some of the material they had up to that point was slow and had a "Brand New meets Jimmy Eat World meets Coldplay vibe".[6] By December, the band had written 12 songs, four of which were complete.[7] In the same month, the band showed their label Virgin Records demos of the new material. They were concerned the label might react negatively to the heavier-sounding songs and halt their recording plans but the label was very positive about the tracks.[5] In February 2011,[8] the band released "Rescue Me", a collaboration with Chiddy Bang, as a stop-gap release.[9]

Production[]

Pre-production and initial tracking[]

In an effort to challenge themselves, You Me at Six wanted to record their next album outside the UK. Their label asked where they wanted to record it before proposing a secluded forest location. Franceschi said if the band members lived within a small, sparsely populated area, they would "probably end up killing each other" because they were social people.[10] The band considered recording in Los Angeles, California, which they thought "wouldn't just be a different recording space and different recording experience, but also a life experience".[10] The band subsequently rented apartments in Hollywood.[11] They did pre-production for the first time with producer Garth Richardson and performed their songs with him present. Richardson told the band what he considered to be good and bad; he and the band brainstormed ways to improve some of the songs. According to Franceschi, only one track was substantially changed and Richardson suggested minor corrections to others, such as adding another chorus or an additional bar in a verse.[10]

Sessions mainly took place at Sunset Sound and The Sound Factory in Los Angeles, California,[12] from March to May 2011.[5][11] The band were scheduled to support Parkway Drive in Australia in May[13] but were forced to pull out because the album was not completed in time.[11] Richardson produced the album with Ben Kaplan in charge of recording.[12] The band had previously worked with John Mitchell. Franceschi said they were "a very hands-on" band who had "almost recorded [albums] ourselves".[10] Working with Richardson was "slightly different" because he brought in a team of people.[10] Before recording drums, they had two or three technicians setting up the kit and figuring out the drum sounds.[10] Flint played on a Gretsch kit, with which he was impressed. He said he did not need to trigger the drums because "it sounded phenomenal by itself".[14] The band's friends visited them during recording[15] and they partied every evening. Though later Heyler grew wary of this,[16] Franceschi reasoned without their friends' visits, the band would hate the recording process; "it was that shit".[15]

Franceschi's panic attack and later recording[]

During the third week of recording,[11] Franceschi took a conference call with the band's manager, who told him Richardson was unhappy with the way the sessions were progressing. Their manager said they would send all of the band members except Franceschi home and leave him to record the rest of the parts. Franceschi said he would not be able to carry the weight of the rest of his bandmates and did not need "this lead singer syndrome ego boost".[17] Later that day, Franceschi and O'Grady argued with Richardson and Franceschi received a call saying recording was over and that the band must return to the UK.[17] Following this, he tweeted he saw Noel Gallagher in the same studio and was unaware he just leaked the news a former Oasis member was recording a solo album.[18] He then received the news You Me at Six's upcoming two-tour support slot with Blink-182 was cancelled. All of these events in the span of one day resulted in Franceschi having a panic attack, being taken to hospital.[19] and costing the band 12 days in the studio,[11] before he decided to discharge himself from the hospital.[19] Franceschi's vocal parts were recorded in the following two-to-three weeks.[11]

Miller later said the band were unable to work easily with the production team. On occasion, he would go to record his parts and would still be waiting to record six hours later. Helyer expressed similar frustration after returning to their apartment and saying; "Fuck this! We've paid a lot of money to be here and record an album and I'm not getting to do my work."[20] Pro Tools editing was done by Kaplan, Nick Rowe and Richardson. Geoff Neale and Clint Welander acted as assistant engineers, and additional engineering was done by Matt O'Grady, Rowe, Richardson and Welanders. Strings and brass, which were arranged and conducted by Jeremy Rubolino, were recorded at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles by Jorge Velasco with assistant engineer Jeff Ellis. Kaplan performed keyboards and did programming, while Damian Taylor did programming on "When We Were Younger".[12] Oliver Sykes of Bring Me the Horizon appears on "Bite My Tongue" and Winston McCall of Parkway Drive appears on "Time Is Money".[21] Franceschi said the band wanted to add "an extra layer of aggression" to both of these tracks, and brought in Skyes and McCall.[2] The album was originally mixed by Andy Wallace[11] but the final versions were mixed by Mitchell and O'Grady at the latter's home studio in Woking, Surrey, before they were mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios.[12]

Composition[]

Overview[]

Sinners Never Sleep saw the band move away from the pop punk sound of their earlier material,[22][23][24][25] and exchange it with heavier alternative rock[26] and pop rock,[27] and integrate elements of heavy metal.[28] One member of the band would come up with an idea, such as a guitar riff or a vocal melody, and the rest of the band would develop the idea at practice sessions. During the writing phase, one member might suggest changing the drum or guitar parts.[29] Franceschi said with Hold Me Down, they wanted to make a better-produced version of Take Off Your Colours (2008). With Sinners Never Sleep, the band focussed on showcasing a wide variety of sounds, incorporating new instrumentation such as strings, horns, pianos and samples into their work.[11]

According to Franceschi, some of the songs could feature on a Coldplay album[11] and others could have appeared on a Parkway Drive album.[5] The band members wrote songs that would appeal to both their existing fanbase and a potential new audience.[11] The first tracks they worked on were "Loverboy", "Bite My Tongue", and "When We Were Younger".[30][31] Franceschi did not write any lyrics for the songs until they went to America; he focussed and wrote words to the demo recordings while the rest of the members recorded their instruments. This way of working was new for Franceschi, who previously wrote lyrics and melodies while the band were writing the songs.[10]

Songs[]

The idea for "Loverboy" came from Barnes;[32] the glam rock track[22] is anchored around his bass parts.[31] The "da da da da" part came from Franceschi, who was inspired by sing-alongs at football games.[33] "Jaws on the Floor" continues the tempo of the previous track,[24] and showcases the band's heavy sound.[34] Franceschi said "Bite My Tongue" came from "a place of frustration";[35] It is about his relationship with his bandmates and other people when they were making the album,[35] and details a time when the band almost broke-up.[24] The new wave-influenced "This Is the First Thing"[22] was one of the first tracks the band demoed for the album; Flint said it reminded him of casinos.[31] It is reminiscent of some of the songs onHold Me Down.[24] Franceschi called "No Ones Does It Better" and "Crash" are "pretty chilled-out" and are in similar style to the work of Snow Patrol and Coldplay.[36] "Little Death" was inspired by the death of Flint's father, which occurred before the release of Hold Me Down. As the members were comforting Flint, Franceschi suggested writing a song about it.[30] The band had forgotten about the song but rediscovered it late in the recording process for Sinners Never Sleep. They were originally going to name the album Little Death until their label and management said it meant "orgasm" in French.[31] The song follows the quiet verse/loud chorus structure;[22] Franceschi's vocals recall those of Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.[27]

The soft rock track "Crash" features strings and is reminiscent of the music of Goo Goo Dolls[22] and Stars.[21] Franceschi wanted it to be the "Fireworks" of Sinners Never Sleep, referring to the closing track of Hold Me Down. "Reckless" was originally titled "Don't Hold Your Breath" but was altered when the band realized Nicole Scherzinger has a track with the same title. It was then changed to "The Best You've Never Had" until they realized the Swellers and Beyoncé had songs with similar names. At this point, the song was finally named "Reckless"; Barnes said it has the most resemblance to material on Hold Me Down.[31] The riff of "Time Is Money", which had been compared to the work of Pendulum,[22] was written while the band were recording Hold Me Down but was left off at Franceschi's suggestion. While recording the song for Sinners Never Sleep, the song lacked a chorus, which was quickly written while drums were being recorded.[31] The Jimmy Eat World-esque ballad "Little Bit of Truth"[22] is about the band's relationship with their fans.[30] "The Dilemma" takes its name from the film The Dilemma (2011),[31] and was compared to Panic! at the Disco.[22] "When We Were Young" is a slowly building track,[24] and is about Franceschi's relationship with his parents;[30] Barnes said it was their most experimental song.[31]

Release[]

On 1 August 2011, Sinners Never Sleep was announced for release in October, and its track listing and artwork were revealed.[37] "Loverboy" was made available for streaming on 12 August.[38] A music video for "Loverboy" was released on 30 August[39] and the song was released as an EP on 23 September with instrumental and acoustic versions of "Loverboy" and "Moon Child" as additional tracks.[40] Sinners Never Sleep was released on 3 October 2011.[41] It was accompanied with the behind-the-scenes documentary Bite My Tongue,[42] which chronicles You Me at Six's history from their first practice session to the recording of Sinners Never Sleep.[43] The iTunes edition includes the bonus track "Takes One to Know One", and the video for "Loverboy" and Bite My Tongue.

According to Franceschi, by having the US release follow its original UK release, Virgin Records had more time to promote it.[36] On 5 March 2012, a music video for "No One Does It Better" was released.[48] The song was released as a single on 6 April with an acoustic version as an additional track.[49] A live video for "Reckless" composed of tour footage was released on 6 September.[50][51] The track was released as a single on 22 October.[52]

In August 2011, You Me at Six appeared at the V and Reading and Leeds Festivals,[53][54] and went on a co-headlining Australian tour with We the Kings.[55] To promote Sinners Never Sleep's release, the band did some in-store performances and signing events,[56] and went on a UK tour[57] with support from Deaf Havana[58] and Lower Than Atlantis.[59] Following this, You Me at Six supported Mayday Parade on their headlining US tour, titled Noise Tour.[60] In January and February 2012, the band went on a co-headlining US tour with the Swellers, and were supported by We Are the Ocean and Twin Atlantic.[61] The tour was initially planned to be co-headlined with the Dangerous Summer.[62] Around their performances at Soundwave festival in Australia in February and March,[63] You Me at Six played two sideshows with A Day to Remember.[64]

The band embarked on a headlining UK tour in March and April 2012 with support from Mayday Parade, Kids in Glass Houses, and the Skints.[65] In June, the band performed at the Download Festival in the UK.[66] Following this, You Me at Six joined the Warped Tour until late July.[67] In August, the band performed at Reading Festival in the UK [68] and in October, they performed for BBC Radio 1's "Radio One Rocks" event.[69] On 8 December, the band played a one-off show called "The Final Night of Sin" at Wembley Arena, London.[70] They were supported by We Are the Ocean and Deaf Havana.[71] The show was filmed and subsequently released as a CD/DVD combo[70] in March 2013.[72]

Sinners Never Sleep was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. The Aquarian Weekly writer Marissa Savino praised the record for being "both catchy and meaningful" with its "twelve relatable tracks, each set to an infectious beat".[28] In a review for Hot Press, Edwin McFee called it the band's best effort that "benefit[s] hugely by adding a little spice to the sugar", referring to the inclusion of Skyes and McCall.[78] Gigwise's Will Lavin commended the band for "stay[ing] consistent through thick and thin", and releasing "both head nodding bangers and thought provoking gems".[77] Dead Press! founder Zach Redrup said the new album was what Hold Me Down "was meant and aspired to be", and lauded the band for "finally" maturing.[76] Redrup also said the release "sounds more determined ... and they've wandered into places darker than they would've dared tread into before".[76] Gareth O'Malley of DIY said the "more stripped-back" tracks would split opinions but that this form of progression "should be welcomed".[34] The record "has proved that they have enough talent to take even more risks".[34] The Boston Phoenix's Michael Christopher called it a "transitional album, though such efforts rarely bode as well for the future as this does".[75]

Big Cheese reviewer Rob Mair said the band stuck to the "tried and tested" but "succeed in pushing the boundaries at the edges" rather than completely revamping their sound.[21] Punknews.org staff member Sloane Daley called it "a pretty damn good pop rock record" but said it lacks decent lyrics.[27] He applauded the band for "creating such a listenable album so soon after dropping the lead balloon that Hold Me Down was".[27] BBC Music's Alistair Lawrence said the release tries to focus on both the future and the past simultaneously, making it "destined to sound a bit like a (frequently awkward) transition".[74] Despite this, for an album that might have strayed into one particular way, "it manages the neat trick of going in both".[74] AllMusic reviewer Jon O'Brien found the release "much more convincing when it plays to its melodic strengths" rather than "pandering to the Kerrang! masses",[22] and said if the band chose to focus on the record's "more mature mainstream moments" it like would have "turned out to be a more consistent affair".[22]

Chart performance[]

Sinners Never Sleep reached number one on the UK midweek album chart[79] before falling to number three after selling 27,000 copies.[59] It reached number 28 in Australia[80] and number 39 in Ireland.[81] The album was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry in December 2011 and gold in August 2012.[82] By January 2017, the album had sold over 160,000 copies in the UK.[83] "Loverboy" and "No One Does It Better" charted at number 39 and 92 respectively on the UK Singles Chart.[84] "Bite My Tongue" and "No One Does It Better" were nominated for Best Single, and Sinners Never Sleep for Best Album, at the Kerrang! Awards.[85]
