They're like the ultimate opening band. My friend was talking about how they opened for Fall Out Boy, and I mentioned that they also opened for Minus The Bear at a different show. Are they from the northeastern US or something?

Too bad I've never actually heard their music, but I hope it's better than their name suggests.

They put on a good show. Theiy are a pretty good band. I saw them open for Coheed. The have a very spiritual presence. They're wonderful.

The intro to "My Exit, Unfair" sounds like a variation of the intro to Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah." I might pick up an album, though.

I heard the dude sometimes performs barefoot, and that's disgusting. 0/10.

They're a lot better than some of these other 'post-hardcore' bands as of late. I like the lyrics and how they're kinda narrated in a yelling way.

OK. But only if you agree to stop taking the internet so seriously.

I'll admit I used to like mewithoutYou, but then I grew up and realized that there are way better things out there that aren't as bad and not so stupid. I don't remember the name of the album, but it had one song with "Gentleman" in the title. That was the only song I liked.

When i first heard them, the singer reminded me of Saetia since he wasnt really screaming, just kind of like, talking and yelling at the same time.

You forgot Anberlin, Underoath, Project 86 and (arguably) Showbread.

You are, Joy Electric and Starflyer 59. I think I like Showbread a bit more than mewithoutYou as well.

Then there's the bands they kicked off...Watashi Wa, Roadside Monument and Luxury are awesome bands.

My friends and I often sing mewithoutYou while inebriated, its usually a fun time.

I don't usually listen to post-hardcore, so I was surprised to actually dig Catch for Us the Foxes. Aaron Weiss is a mighty fine lyricist.

What have you heard? Their Fashion Focus and Everyone Makes Mistakes albums are amazing.

You like Showbread? Really?

Yeah. They're fun.

aaron weiss is a mighty cool person, he leads the bible studies at cornerstone (im not religous but i still think thats cool) and hes vegetarian.

Fair enough. Check out either of those good albums if you ever feel like it. They're awesome.

I think almost everyone hates them the first time you hear them... at least out of the people I know.. but it only takes about one or two more listens before those who give them a chance absolutely fall in love with them. If you knock them before listening to Catch For Us the Foxes all the way through, you are seriously missing out on some quality music. Totally different from A-->B Life.

Really? I liked them the first time I listened to them, but slowly began to hate them with every listen that followed.

Aaron Weiss sounds like he has Down syndrome. It doesn't help that he smiles like a goof whenever he speaks, and that he wears clothes that are dirty on purpose (Dirty on Purpose has one song I like a lot). He's a good guy, but he comes off as really dumb too.

Yeah, I always thought he was trying to hard to be like one of those crazy homeless people that are happy all of the time for no reason.
