The best band-with-no-spaces-between-words band? Possibly. I wasn't too fond of the last record but the first two are great. The vocalist gives out so much energy live, doing, whatever he does. Yelling, I guess. Appreciate. If you saw dredg/Coheed and Cambria, you saw this band. They were the first to perform (NOT Blood Brothers, the screamo band) regularly. Ignore the guitar issue the first few seconds: [ame="http://youtube.com/watch?v=t5Zf4rhXSDY"]YouTube - mewithoutYou Live @ Cornerstone 2006 Tie me up! Untie me![/ame]
Im pretty sure this is the band that supported BrandNew when I went to see them. They seemed pretty cool.
By far my favorite band. The music is so passionate and spiritually moving, and it's great when I'm happy or sad. Some really beautiful and at the same time, intensely powerful music. Aaron is probably my favorite lyricist ever, too.
Ha, it's funny that people seem to be one way or the other with this. I'm mildly appreciative of their older albums, but I consider Brother, Sister a masterpiece. I'll bet my left nut that it's about the vocals.
I agree and I've never even heard mewithoutyou. Though I'd imagine I'd enjoy them, being a huge fan of Dredg and Coheed.
