Convicts is the seventh studio album by the Australian rock band You Am I.
The first single is "It Ain't Funny How We Don’t Talk Anymore", which was released as a digital download on 22 April 2006.
The album name, Convicts, comes from when the band toured America, and briefly changed their name to "The Convicts".
Tim Rogers later said of the album, "It hadn't been a great couple of years, and it's even worse when I look back at it now. I had no confidence at all so I wanted the guitars too loud and everything aggressive and loose."[5]
