MeWithoutYou Merchandising

mewithoutYou is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based indie rock band. The band consists of vocalist Aaron Weiss, guitarists Michael Weiss and Christopher Kleinberg, bassist Greg Jehanian and drummer Rickie Mazzotta. mewithoutYou's music is generally dominated by spoken-word vocals and free-ranging drums, bass, and guitar. Yelling and talking in dramatic tones and pitches dominate the sound, although melodic sections are well incorporated in many songs. Because the vocals are mostly spoken rather than sung, other band members are allowed great flexibility in harmonic and melodic structure. The band usually strays from typical song structures, featuring effects-laden guitar, a very prominent and distorted bass tone, and bombastic rhythms, resulting in a rather experimental style. In their most recent album, Brother, Sister, the band incorporates more varied instrumentation including percussion instruments, accordion, and harp. Aaron Weiss writes lyrics about issues such as unity or division in the church, suicide, money, war and love. They tour in a 40 foot 1976 MC8 Charter bus that runs on vegetable oil.
