YOU ME AT SIX – UNDERDOG

Rate this item
(1 vote)
3The latest single from Surrey's version of Fall Out Boy, UNDERDOG finds You Me At Six sticking to the pop punk formula that's so far seen them get this far uscathed.

So it's business as usual with sugar coated pop melodies, crashing guitar chords and frenetic drum patterns; all teen angst, explosive energy and derivative musicality. Undoubtedly catchy as all hell, UNDERDOG features the kind of day glo pop rock chorus that just calls out for call and response, obviously the soundtrack to a thousand tween alcohol binges and coming of age revelations; but really if you haven't zavvi-logo1heard increasingly similar sounding three minute romps like this already countless times before, you've really been living under a particularly remotely located rock somewhere for the last decade.

UNDERDOG will satisfy those for whom there just isn't enough Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and 30 Seconds To Mars soundalikes out there already, for anyone else this is strictly derivative and by the book pop punk noise that fails to distance itself from the pack.
