Sound As Ever is an album by You Am I released in November 1993. It was recorded at Pachyderm Studio in rural Cannon Falls, Minnesota & produced by Lee Ranaldo, (Sonic Youth). Tracks include the singles 'Adam's Ribs' , 'Berlin Chair' and 'Jaimme's Got A Gal.'

A raw sounding debut album produced by Lee Ranaldo, Sound As Ever marked a seminal line in the ground for Tim Rogers, Andy Kent and Mark Tunaley as a back to basics, punk influenced Australian rock band.
