Review: You Me At Six - Manchester Apollo

You Me At Six rose to success in 2008 with the release of their debut album, Take Off Your Colours and they haven't looked back since.

When the lights went down and the music started, the screams and cheers filled the whole venue and there was a sea of cameras waiting for the first glimpse of the band.

The band opened with Too Young To Feel This Old, a song from their new album Cavalier Youth, which sent the whole crowd jumping, dancing and singing along.

They did a selection of old and new songs, but it was surprising to see that they didn't feature any from their debut album, as it was a favourite amongst many of the fans.

They played a lot of their popular songs such as Loverboy, Bite Your Tongue and Underdog, all of which got the whole crowd joining in sending the atmosphere in the room to a whole new level.

Frontman Josh Franceschi gave plenty of opportunity for sing alongs and made everyone who had come down to see them feel a part of the show.

Their stage presence and vibe was electric - they fed off the crowd and vice versa.

This is a band that appreciates its audience, and in return have loving supporters that would follow them in any musical direction they wish to take.

They are a brilliant live band that leave the audience satisfied but at the same time craving more, as their sound is so infectious.

Tonight they showed why they are getting the success they rightfully deserve.
