UK rockers You Me At Six have performed a storming cover of Avicii's summer chart topper, 'Wait For Me'. Listen to their cover version below.

The band performed the cover for Radio One's Live Lounge, turning the country and western-influenced club smash into a mellow, acoustic rock track. Recent big name stars in the Radio One Live Lounge have included The 1975 (covering One Direction) and Queens Of The Stone Age performing a version of Arctic Monkeys' 'Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High'.

The band recently scored the biggest hit of their career with current single 'Lived A Lie', but have yet to announce a release date for their fourth studio album, Cavalir Youth, but frontman Josh Franceschi adds that it is their best yet.

"I think we've finally found our sound," he added. "It's the best record we've ever done. I know every band says that about their new record."

"As a musician we don't want to regurgitate the same old shit, I think it would have been easy for us to do that on this record, even more so if you look around at what else is going on, and mimic that but we've gone completely the other way and done what we've wanted to do."
