​mewithoutYou is a band comprised of brothers Aaron and Michael Weiss, Brandon Beaver and Rickie Mazzotta. They play a unique blend of post-hardcore, emo, and spoken word music with lyrics (written by Aaron Weiss) that draw inspiration from Christianity, Islam, ancient fables, and myriad other items of religious and cultural folklore.

The Weiss brothers were raised by a Jewish father and Episcopal mother who both converted to Sufi Islam. This influence permeates throughout the lyrics in their collection, and there is an overarching message of finding G-d, or at least some semblance of truth in existence. Michael Weiss provides a caveat to that, however:

We don’t really try to claim that we are the ambassadors of that truth ourselves, or that the Bible, or the Koran, or Bawa Muhaiyaddeen are. These truths just exist, and everybody sort of has a way to know them, to experience them, to live them… If you really want to just try to follow a path to God, I don’t believe you need anything beyond [your beliefs], but it’s just the idea that you’re fixed on the only way and that everybody else is just completely misguided… that is a sort of obtuse attitude that can hurt your own spirit.

​In 2018, mewithoutYou released their seventh album [Untitled], which was preceded with the [untitled] e.p. through Run For Cover Records.

In 2019, mewithoutYou announced their retirement, citing that 2020 would be their last year as an active band.
