Hey You Guys are a band set to grab the UK music scene and stamp their very own sound to it. Although compared to bands like Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals, HYG are very much a band of their own. Having played shows with the likes of The Blackout, All Or Nothing, Save Your Breath, Me Vs. Hero, The Plight and Exit Avenue to name a few, it’s fair to say HYG can fit many a bill. HYG compliment their infectious and upbeat tunes with moments that can turn the room chaotic.
