They’re emo (maybe post-emo?), they’re fuzzy, they have a weird Morrissey fixation that somehow still does not prevent their music from sucking major donkey dick, they’re Christian, and baby, they’re ALL OURS! At least if you claim West Chester roots, that is. And why wouldn’t you? After however many years on the emo-Xtian-vegan scene, Me Without You is about to go mega. Like Hot Topic mega. But wait, not so fast, if Entertainment Weekly’s “Popwatch” column is anything to go by. (It’s not, but click the link anyway.) After Marc Vera pitched the band as Pixies-esque (woe betide the rock critic in 2005 still using that old canard), the comments section blows up with the earth-shattering news that, hey, these guys really do suck! And unlike the fabled tradition here of eating our own ó see Interpreters, Marah, et al ó these guys get the Nelson just because we would have never claimed them as our own anyway. And so, without further ado, to Me Without You, we do hereby say: Hah-hah!
