mewithoutYou
Brother, Sister
If John the Baptist were alive today and had a rock band, that band would probably resemble mewithoutYou. In fact, whenever I hear lead singer Aaron Weiss, I can't help but think of John the Baptist. The way he shouts his spoken word poetry while the band rocks out reminds me of the locust eating guy that yelled at the religious dudes in New Testament. Along with that, there are some other similarities between the two. For example, John ate locusts and Aaron has a reputation for eating out of trash cans. Ok, let me stop before this turns into an essay on the quirky behaviors of Mr. Weiss. It wouldn’t be fair if I just talk about his odd behaviors instead mewithoutYou’s music. If you haven’t had the pleasure of hearing this indy rock band, then I would recommend checking out Brother, Sister (released in 2006). This is their third album, and it’s one that shows this is another band that should be getting more attention. While listening, you’d find out that mewithoutYou is a difficult band to pin down, since they really don’t fit in the emo-hardcore-pop-rock category. That’s exactly what makes their music great. You don’t know what to make of them, but you find yourself drawn into their unique sound.
