Philadelphia’s Mewithoutyou was covered in “The Atlantic.” The article discussed the genre of the band, history of the band, as well as as the influence of God in their music. The article states:

Want Christian grunge? Christian metal? Christian indie? Christian emo? Christian screamo? In 2009, you can have it all, and a lot of it is on Tooth & Nail. MewithoutYou, the label’s most interesting act, might also be its most heretical: having spiraled along the spiritual trajectory of its mercurial singer, the band now wraps up its live set with what can only be described as a Sufi worship song: “In everyone we meet / Allah, Allah, Allah!/ In everyone we meet.

You can get a better insight on this Christian rock band by checking out the article here.

Mewithoutyou’s latest album “It’s All Crazy! It’s All False! It’s All A Dream! It’s Alright” was released on Tooth & Nail Records this past May.

If you happened to miss The Used‘s CD release show at the Chain Reaction, we got the hook up for you right here. A live performance of “A Box Of Sharp Objects” is waiting for you on the Full Story page!

And when its over, don’t you dare click the exit button because another video of “Blood On My Hands” is directly after it. And just when you think its over and you can now go read your horoscope on some lame website, “Empty With You” will begin so you should probably just continue watching. I’d love to tell you it ends there, but it doesn’t. “Take It Away”, one of my favorite The Used songs is next, then “Born To Quit” and then I’m not sure if there are anymore songs because to be quite honest I quit watching. There’s only so much I can take before I just  get angry that I’m not there for the actual live performance….

….OK I cracked, I totally went back and watched the video again and “The Best Of Me” is also on there… but I really have no idea after that. Really.

[cough cough, “Pretty Handsome Awkward”, cough]
