mewithoutYou consists of vocalist Aaron Weiss, guitarists Michael Weiss and Christopher Kleinberg, bassist Greg Jehanian and drummer Richard Mazzotta. Though hard to truly classify their sound, mewithoutYou's music is generally dominated by Weiss, who, rather than singing, talks in dramatic, varied tones and pitches. 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. Most recently the band has incorporated more varied instrumentation including various percussion instruments, accordion, and harp.
