Description:
You Am I are bonafide stars in their native Australia where, since 1992, the band has set a record for three consecutive straight-in-at-No. 1 albums, bagged seven ARIAS, picked up some heavyweight admirers/touring partners (Oasis, Soundgarden, Sonic Youth), and been asked to gig with the likes of The Who and The Rolling Stones. Their newest album, Convicts -- the first on US label Yep Roc Records -- is proof why they`re stars Down Under. From the feedback-strewn opening punch of "Thank God I`ve Hit the Bottom" to the immediacy of insta-hits like "Friends Like You" and "It Ain`t Funny How We Don`t Talk Any More," Convicts is a lean rock`n`roll machine that has You Am I poised to make an even larger impression than ever overseas. (Yep Roc)
