"CONVICTS" ARRIVE IN MAY THROUGH EMI
EMI is incredibly excited to confirm You Am I have signed a deal that will see the new album from this great Australian rock band released in May on the Virgin label. Titled "Convicts", the album was recorded in sixteen days over a three month period in five studios. Produced by Greg Wales in Sydney during 2005, it is described by Rusty as "a little bit punk, a little bit psychedelic with a beating heart of pure energy". Andy Kent said, "Feels good brothers and sisters." Tim Rogers said, "Im calling it a comeback. Were back fools!.....or mmm, Were back, were fools". John ODonnell, Managing Director of EMI Music Australia said, "You Am I are one of the best Australian bands of all-time. Their body of work has left an indelible stamp on this country over the last decade and more and they have influenced just about every artist of substance to have emerged since they started. But as Johnny Thunders once said you cant put your arms around a memory and we only signed You Am I because when we heard "Convicts" we immediately knew it was amongst their best work ever. Were humbled and proud to be working with You Am I."
"Convicts" will be released on May 13, with the single "It Aint Funny How We Dont Talk Anymore" released digitally on April 11.
brothers and drummers are the exception to the rule.
