You Me At Six frontman Josh Franceschi did not suppose Blink-182 with Matt Skiba was the identical band.
The ‘Keep With Me’ rocker was talking concerning the resurgence in emo music and the way it’s lastly acquired “a bit extra objective” now teams like Blink – who’ve reunited with authentic co-frontman Tom DeLonge – Paramore and My Chemical Romance are again with new music in the identical vein of the fabric they began out making.
He stated: “Even Blink reforming with their authentic lineup, that’s a large factor for a complete era of children. I’ve seen Blink with Matt Skiba. That ain’t Blink-182. Interval. It doesn’t matter the way you costume it up. I’m not saying he’s not an incredible guitar participant or singer or songwriter, however that’s not the Blink-182 that I fell in love with. Or having My Chemical Romance come again, having Paramore come again from a hiatus or no matter – it’s a approach of constructing individuals really feel rather less directionless and have a bit extra objective.”
He added: “What number of followers of other music walked away from it to simply be like, ‘F*** it, I’ll take heed to Kendrick Lamar then as a result of no one’s even bothering making the music I actually like that a lot anymore?’ And if they’re, they’re doing a extremely dangerous job of it.”
You Me At Six went again to their roots for his or her newest LP ‘Fact Decay’, which Josh describes as a “homecoming”.
He advised MusicFeeds.com.au: “I believe it was actually essential on this album that everyone felt like this was their album. I’m unsure if we have been all sincere with ourselves that the final two [2021’s ‘Suckapunch’ and 2018’s ‘VI’] have felt that approach. And so I believe that’s what makes You Me At Six, You Me At Six – all 5 of us not solely actually writing and enjoying collectively, however all in the identical headspace, and that’s when issues can occur actually rapidly.
“This was type of a homecoming for You Me At Six and that’s been actually nice to see.”
