EP’s and rereleases

• YMAS released 2 EP’s ‘we know what it means to be alone’ and ‘untitled’

• Tracks ‘gossip’ and ‘the rumour’ were on these and rereleased onto later albums

• The song ‘save it for the bedroom’ was initially released in 2007 and was longer than its later rerelease in 2010, however this rerelease made it onto the Colin McRae DiRT 2 game for Xbox 360 and ps3.

Band members

• Josh Franceschi – Vocals• Max Helyer – Rhythm Guitar• Chris Miller – Lead Guitar• Matt Barnes – Bass Guitar• Dan Flint – Percussion Previous member:Joe Phillips – Percussion Joe was kicked from the band before their first album, it was

said that Joe preferred more heavier music than what they were producing and thus why ‘the rumour’ has Josh Screaming at the breakdown of the song, however this brought tension to the band and thus he was kicked.

• Collabs include:• Rescue me With Chiddy (Hip Hop)• Bite my Tongue with Bring Me The Horizon Frontman Oli Sykes• Time is Money with Parkway Drive Frontman Winston McCall.

Lived A Lie

• We are doing Lived a Lie by you me at six, this song is an upbeat song, within the music video we intend to have symbolism of various aspects, around various topics, the main one being defying the power, especially with the lyrics “we are believers” being a huge part of the song,

• Idea: A protagonist/Hero who has been captured by an evil lord and tied up in the darkness however the doors to freedom and success are lying in front of him, he breaks free on the “we are believers” drop and thus goes on to defeat the villain.

• Why YMAS?

-Myself, Danny and Cameron all like similar music, that being the rock genre, our other member Jordan however does not and prefers to stick to indie/pop music and so we have chosen YMAS as a softer alternative.

Sinners Never Sleep DIGIPAK

analysis

• This digipak is heavily based on the single to this album ‘Loverboy’ in which the lead singer Josh is being interviewed and confronted by the police, this is further used with the uses of fingerprints and other ‘evidence’ in the inside cover, not only this but as additional content to this digipak, there came 5 ‘mug shots’ of the band members holding up their name cards, as if being photographed by police, again further used as the main album cover, the person holding up a name card with the album name and band name displayed, this police/criminal symbolism is a way to show how the band members are rebelling, or defying convention, this is further backed up with how the new album songs are not typical of YMAS from their previous albums and are more dark and ‘emo’ relative to their other songs.
