Hey everyone!
Back after the long holiday break with the first Artist Spotlight feature of 2012! This week for you guys, we have a band from the birthplace of cheesesteaks and the Phillies, otherwise known as Philadelphia, PA called mewithoutYou. The band consists of Aaron Weiss on lead vocals, his brother Michael Weiss on guitar, Greg Jehanian on bass, and Richard Mazzotta on drums. The band has been around since 2000, but I only just discovered them recently after seeing them open for Thursday last week at Royale in Boston. The band has a strong, acoustic based mentality to them and also make heavy use of spoken word vocals throughout their music that makes them so unique and unlike any of the other bands out there in the scene today. While it's not explicitly stated in their music, the band's music can almost be classified as falling under the Christian rock tag, but the band has insisted that they don't consider to fall under that category and I agree with them wholeheartedly. The band has their own unique, individual sense of style that it doesn't feel the need to fall under any specific genre, which has sometimes become difficult for other bands to classify themselves. Some of my favorite songs from these guys include "Bullet to Binary (Part Two)" and "In A Sweater Poorly Knit".
To check out even more music from these talented folks, head on over to the group's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/mewithoutyou where you also can get all the latest tour dates from the group as well. The band is also on Twitter and you can follow them by going to www.twitter.com/mewithoutyou and see what the band have got going on lately!
