There’s no other way to describe mewithoutyou other than to say they are an acquired taste. At first, the songs just seem like rambling yelling over some pretty rocking grooves, but as the listener digs deeper the layers start to unfold and things start to make a little more sense. Their live show is always unpredictable. Anything can happen and anything does happen in a concert. Harps, trumpets, people dressed as birds and more can show up on stage. At Cornerstone 2008 The Urban Sophisticates’ Benton James showed up on stage during “O Porcupine” for a truly unique Cornerstone experience.

More Urban Sophisticates is always a good thing. I’m disappointed that they haven’t turned into one of the perennial bands that plays the fest every year. Surely the fest could drop one or two of the 300 hardcore bands and bring them in…
That said, I could do with a lot less mewithoutyou in my life. Sorry, it’s kind of like Showbread – just because the kids dig it, it don’t make it good.
