If you’ve had a chance to catch mewithoutYou on any one of the hundreds of tour dates since the release of their debut album, “[A-->B] LIFE” in the summer of 2002, chances are you’ve already been wowed by these five Philadelphia natives.  Their live show is one of the most energetic, destructive, and exhausting  of nearly any band in the scene today, complete with a flailing lead singer, crushed floral blossoms strewn about the stage, and some of the most innovative artistry to be shown to typically unchallenged audiences. The biggest question on fans’ minds has been how a follow-up will fair to such a dynamic debut album.

Now the questions are one step closer to being answered.  This week, mewithoutYou wrap up work on their sophomore release, tentatively titled, “Catch For Us the Foxes,” and scheduled to release this September 21st.  With the brilliance of Brad Wood (Fire Theft, Smashing Pumpkins, Pete Yorn) on their side, the band looks back on their last four weeks in his Los Angeles studio with nostalgia and to their future with optimism.

“Working with Brad Wood has led me to believe I live a charmed life: relaxed atmosphere, nice home, great family, we had it all being out here,” explains drummer Rickie Mazzotta. “We will be out the rest of the summer and fall trying to get people excited for September 21st...Long live mewithoutYou!”

Those dates in support of the upcoming release will have mewithoutYou on tour with bands like Noise Ratchet, The Working Title, and this fall with Blindside.
