The Genesis of You Me & Kyle

The tale of You Me & Kyle is as interesting as the tunes. Tony Sharpe, singer and guitarist, says, “We worked with talented musicians from The Executives but Henry and I changed the project. It became just us. Henry said to me ‘Well, it is just you, me as well as Kyle now.’ The name just stuck”. This moment shows their teamwork: friendship, imagination plus a bit of fun.

The album came together in Hutton’s home studio in Raleigh, NC as well as Sharpe’s home studio in Columbus, OH. Jonathan Hose mixed the album at SonicMix Studios. This DIY way shows the band’s dedication to their art. Every note shows their creative spirit.

You Me & Kyle’s work is fresh in the alternative rock world. They make songs with a young feel, despite their experience. This is notable! They get ideas from Destroy Boys, The Beaches, Wet Leg, EKKSTACY, Militairie Gun, Hard-Ons, ALEXSUCKS, also Dexter and The Moonrocks. You Me & Kyle have made a sound that feels both familiar and new. It is a sound that fits next to Arctic Monkeys and The Killers but it remains uniquely You Me & Kyle.

The making of the album is a story of new ideas plus freedom. “This album was conceived, written along with created with file sharing via iCloud,” said the band. By themselves, Hutton and Sharpe would make the music for their tracks. Sharpe added guitar parts. Hutton added bass parts.
