You Me at Six: Cavalier Youth – review

Corporate alt-rock at its most pedestrian characterises the fourth album from You Me at Six, writes Paul Mardles
  
  


For a hard rock band who have covered songs by Ellie Goulding and Jessie J, Surrey quintet You Me at Six are surprisingly short on idiosyncrasies. Their fourth album, all formulaic riffs, festival-friendly choruses and timeworn sentiments (Too Young to Feel This Old, Be Who You Are), is corporate alt-rock at its most pedestrian, the reflective Wild Ones the only song of note. "We are believers," they chant on last year's single Lived a Lie, in which they rebuke those who doubted their potential, but this set will convince few sceptics of their worth.
