Interview with Between You & Me
We had the pleasure of interviewing Between You & Me over Zoom video!
Fresh from the frenzy of their sold-out intimate headline tour, Australia\u2019s Between You & Me (BYAM) have today shared their brand new single and music video, \u201cYEAH!\u201d Opening with sunny acoustic chords reminiscent of early 2000s radio hits, \u201cYEAH!\u201d bursts into a feel-good verse carried by the distinct vocals of frontman Jake Wilson before moving into what is perhaps the band\u2019s most pronounced singalong chorus yet. In line with its bright and upbeat sound.
Jake says the song is about \u201cliving your best life and not caring what anyone else thinks. I imagine this song playing in the montage scene of an early 2000s bratty comedy film. Stylistically it\u2019s a big shift for BYAM, but we wanted to bring beachy summer vibes to a fun and carefree song.\u201d
The band teamed up once again with Canadian producer Sam Guaiana (Armageddon - 2021), who flew to Australia earlier this year to record with the band at Beveridge Road Recording Studios in Victoria\u2019s Dandenong Ranges.
\u201cYEAH!\u201d is the band\u2019s second independent release, and follows their addictive February single \u201cNevermind\u201d which, on their recent run of intimate headline shows, proved to be a new fan favorite. Sonically \u201cNevermind\u201d earmarked a new era for BYAM, and according to the band perfectly captured \u201cthe spirit of our band and our live show.\u201d The single was swiftly added to rotation on triple j, and arrived ahead of a massive stint in the USA supporting Knuckle Puck and Real Friends, followed by an Australian tour joining Slowly Slowly on the road upon their return. BYAM also joined You Me At Six and Set It Off on their recent Australian run.
In 2021, Between You & Me\u2019s acclaimed record Armageddon (Hopeless Records) took the band to new heights, featuring hit singles \u201cDeadbeat\u201d, \u201cButterflies\u201d, \u201cChange\u201d and \u201cGo To Hell\u201d ft. Mikaila Delgado of Yours Truly. The electrifying 10-track record landed as triple j\u2019s Spotlight Album on release, alongside an interview on the station\u2019s Breakfast program, and has since clocked up over 13.5million global streams in addition to support from BBC Radio 1 (UK), Spotify, and more. To celebrate the album, Between You & Me stepped out on their biggest headline Australian tour in 2022, finishing with a milestone sold-out hometown show at Melbourne\u2019s The Corner Hotel. As the year drew to a close, the band took to the USA, joining American pop punk outfit State Champs on an extensive month-long run.
With new singles \u201cYEAH!\u201d and \u201cNevermind\u201d minting BYAM\u2019s newly independent era, the band are more motivated than ever to continue their global takeover. Fans both at home and abroad can expect more new music and touring news to come.
