You Me At Six: new album sounds “like Coldplay”

You Me At Six have revealed some details of their next album.

The quintet, currently recording the follow up to their massive 'Hold Me Down' album, have announced that the record will be much more varied than their previous work.

"With this album we wanted to show that we've got a really wide spectrum of sound. There are songs on the album that could be on a Coldplay record and yet there are songs that could be made by a far heavier band" frontman Josh Franceschi told NME's blog.

The band, who are set to play slots at this year's Sonisphere and V festivals, are also looking to distance themselves from their pop-punk peers on the as-yet-untitled album.

"It was good to be taken out of our comfort zone and made to try new things - before we knew it we were really thinking big and writing parts for strings and horns and working with conductors... I really think that if there's going to be a You Me At Six album that takes us out of the scene we're in, then this is it" admitted Franceschi.

The record is scheduled for a late 2011 release, with a tour expected to be announced for later in the year.
