The discography of mewithoutYou, an American rock band, [a] consists of seven studio albums, two live albums, seven extended plays (EPs) or maxi singles, eleven music videos, and twenty-nine appearances on compilation, tribute, soundtrack, and split albums or in video collections. The band was formed in 2001 as a side project to The Operation, an alternative band active from 1999 to 2001 that shared most of its members with mewithoutYou. [5] [6] The debut demo EP by mewithoutYou, Blood Enough For Us All, was released in 2000, the year before the band was officially founded. [7] The first undisputed release by the band was I Never Said That I Was Brave which was released on Kickstart Audio in 2001. [8] Over the next year, the band signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released their debut album, [A→B] Life . [3] The album is post-hardcore with shouted and screamed vocals. [9] In 2004, mewithoutYou released their second album Catch for Us the Foxes , which was their first album to chart, reaching number 13 on the Top Christian Albums chart. [10]

Contents

Brother, Sister , mewithoutYou's third album (released in 2006), was moved away from the emo and hardcore punk influences of their earlier work and featured less abrasive vocals by Aaron Weiss. [11] Brother, Sister was the first mewithoutYou album to chart on the Billboard 200. [12] With It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright in 2009, the band shifted genres entirely, recording an album that is almost entirely acoustic and has been compared to "campfire songs". [13] The band left Tooth & Nail Records in 2011 and released Ten Stories , a concept album about the crash of a circus train, on their own Pine Street Records in 2012. [14] Ten Stories was mewithoutYou's first and only number one album on the Top Christian Albums chart. [10] The band signed with Run for Cover Records in 2015 and released Pale Horses the same year. [15] [16] They released both their seventh studio album, [Untitled] , and their only live album, [A→B] Live, in 2018. [17] [18] The band announced in 2019 that the following year would be their last as "an active band". [19] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mewithoutYou postponed their final tour until 2022 and played their last concert on August 20, 2022, in Philadelphia. [20]

Notes

  1. The genre of mewithoutYou has been described as post-hardcore, [1] emo, [2] indie rock, [3] and folk rock. [4] Additionally, due to the religious themes in some songs and four albums released on Tooth & Nail Records, mewithoutYou has been categorized as Christian rock or Christian punk, which the band denies. [1]
  2. Blood Enough For Us All was released the year before mewithoutYou officially began and there is some controversy over whether it counts as a release by the band. However, two of the people who played on the album are official members of the band and it was released under the name mewithoutYou. [7]
