The Surrey pop-punkers have released a new single Lived A Lie ahead of their upcoming fourth studio album Cavalier Youth.

It is the first new material the band have showcased since they did a song for the newest ride at Thorpe Park, The Swarm, in March of last year. Lived A Lie shows You Me At Six at their very best, with big poppy hooks and a chorus so big it’s a surprise it manages to fit in a video. The video in speaking matches the chorus however, beginning with the quintet performing in an empty warehouse before they walking as menacingly as they can down a dark street when a fire erupts behind them, burning a collection of electronic objects including a television and radio. Very rock n roll.

It has been nearly two years since You Me At Six have released an album, with 2011’s Sinners Never Sleep the most recent record to grace our stereos, bringing with it the hit singles Loverboy and Bite My Tongue, which featured the vocal talents of Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes. Having been the group’s most successful record to date, peaking at number 3 in the official album charts and selling over 150,000 copies in the UK alone, you could say there is a bit of pressure behind them to produce something special. It shouldn’t be a problem for the lads though, so expect a record full of clever lyrics and massive tunes, something we all know You Me At Six are capable of producing.

As an added treat for fans, the group will also be performing a Live Lounge for BBC Radio 1 on the 15th September, where they will be performing a few tracks from Cavalier Youth. Pretty nifty.

You can check out the video for Lived A Lie below. Cavalier Youth is set for release in early 2014.
