Y-O-U

Y-O-U, also known as the Pleaserock collective, is an American rock band formed in Bloomington, Indiana in 2000. Based out of Atlanta, Georgia since 2002, they are probably most widely known for their collaborations with The Brothers Chaps on projects such as Strong Bad Sings and the karaoke music from strongbad email.exe, as well as for their spinoff group Yacht Rock Revue. In addition, the Chapmans animated a music video for Y-O-U's song "LA Lindsay."

The band's self-titled debut album was released in 2003. Their next LP, Flashlights, was released on compact disc in January 2007, and as a promotional tactic, the entire album is also available as a free download via the band's MySpace profile. After a final record was released in the summer of 2009, the band announced its retirement from recording and performing their original music as Y-O-U.

Y-O-U is also known for short mockumentaries available on their website, their MySpace page, and YouTube.

In December 2006, Y-O-U was named one of the Top 25 Best Bands on MySpace by Rolling Stone.

Y-O-U were officially dubbed "alias rockers" in early 2008 in a cover story by Southeast Performer Magazine, based on their many alter-ego groups which appear throughout Atlanta on a regular basis:

Despite the retirement of the original "Y-O-U" identity, the other active Pleaserock aliases continue to perform.
