Released today, ‘You’re Welcome’ marks the platinum-selling band’s debut album for Fueled By Ramen.A Day To Remember vocalist Jeremy McKinnon commented on the collection noting, “It’s finally here! To all our fans around the world, we want to say, ‘Thank you!’ You’ve waited patiently, and we can’t wait for you to hear this.
There’s a lot of detail in everything we do from the mixes to the artwork because it all tells a story. So, we made sure each element was perfect. Every line happens for a reason. We took what we envision modern music to be and made a hybrid of who we were, who we are, and who we want to be. It took a lot of manoeuvring to get it right, but we feel like we did. We’re here now and very happy to present You’re Welcome.”
Largely produced by Colin “DOC” Brittain and the band’s own Jeremy McKinnon, the 14-tracks on You’re Welcome representS another major step forward for the acclaimed quintet.
Highlights include “Bloodsucker” which ravages with an infectious intensity, while “F.Y.M.” spouts punk energy through an unforgettable chorus. “Viva La Mexico” builds to a stadium-sized chant backed by walls of guitars, whereas “Everything We Need” closes out the album with a plaintive melody and acoustic eloquence, once more showcasing A Day To Remember’s multifaceted songwriting.
A Day To Remember preceded You’re Welcome with the release of “Mindreader” earlier this year. Since then the track has amassed over 18 million global streams while its accompanying animated music video has generated over two million views.
