Y-O-U
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Y-O-U is a rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, probably most widely known for their collaborations with The Brothers Chaps on projects such as Strong Bad Sings and the karaoke music from strongbad email.exe. In addition, the Chapmans animated a music video for Y-O-U's song "LA Lindsay." The band's self-titled debut album was released in 2003, and their sophomore EP Everything is Shifting came out in 2005. Their next LP, Flashlights, was released on compact disc in January 2007; however, as a promotional tactic, the entire album is also available for free download via the band's website and MySpace profile.
Y-O-U is also known for random "pseudonymous" appearances playing Europop, rather than their usual fare, and short mockumentaries available on their website, their MySpace page, and YouTube.
In December of 2006, Y-O-U was named one of the Top 25 Best Bands on MySpace by Rolling Stone Magazine.
