You Me At Six have just completed a UK tour in support of their latest album VI. As part of the tour, the band played their 2008 debut album, Take Off Your Colours in full at select dates.

We caught up with a handful of fans at London's O2 Brixton Academy and asked what memories the album holds for them.

The band's frontman Josh Franceschi and guitarist Max Helyer recently discussed the story behind Take Off Your Colours in a filmed interview for Kerrang!.

Watch it below.
