They are a Philadelphia-based experimental rock band. MewithoutYou's music is generally dominated by spoken-word vocals and free-ranging drums, bass, and guitar. On their third album, Brother, Sister, the band incorporated 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 42 foot 1976 MC8 Charter bus (that used to read "Altus Bulldogs" before the band painted over it in July 2009) that runs on vegetable oil.

They are just absolutely amazing. Messes s of Men is one of Aaron's most clever songs...:the metaphors and lyrical rhymes are unmatched.His rhythymn and word choice is immaculate..best line of all "If you ever come near, Lord I'll hold a high mirror, I can never show you as anything as beautiful as you."!
