"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, "I’m calling it a comeback. We’re back fools!.....or
mmm, We’re back, we’re fools". John O’Donnell,
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 can’t 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. We’re 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
Don’t Talk Anymore" released digitally
on April 22.
