The discography of mewithoutYou, an American rock band,[a] consists of seven studio albums, a live album, seven extended plays (EPs) or maxi singles, eleven music videos, and twenty-nine appearances on compilation, tribute, soundtrack, and split albums or in video collections. The band was formed in 2001 as a side project to The Operation, an alternative band active from 1999 to 2001 that shared most of its members with mewithoutYou.[5][6] The debut demo EP by mewithoutYou, Blood Enough For Us All, was released in 2000, the year before the band was officially founded.[7] The first undisputed release by the band was I Never Said That I Was Brave which was released on Kickstart Audio in 2001.[8] Over the next year, the band signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released their debut album, [A→B] Life.[3] The album is post-hardcore with shouted and screamed vocals.[9] In 2004, mewithoutYou released their second album Catch for Us the Foxes, which was their first album to chart, reaching number 13 on the Top Christian Albums chart.[10]
Brother, Sister, mewithoutYou's third album (released in 2006), was moved away from the emo and hardcore punk influences of their earlier work and featured less abrasive vocals by Aaron Weiss.[11] Brother, Sister was the first mewithoutYou album to chart on the Billboard 200.[12] With It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All a Dream! It's Alright in 2009, the band shifted genres entirely, recording an album that is almost entirely acoustic and has been compared to "campfire songs".[13] The band left Tooth & Nail Records in 2011 and released Ten Stories, a concept album about the crash of a circus train, on their own Pine Street Records in 2012.[14] Ten Stories was mewithoutYou's first and only number one album on the Top Christian Albums chart.[10] The band signed with Run for Cover Records in 2015 and released Pale Horses the same year.[15][16] They released both their seventh studio album, [Untitled], and their only live album, [A→B] Live, in 2018.[17][18] The band announced in 2019 that the following year would be their last as "an active band".[19] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mewithoutYou postponed their final tour until 2022 and played their last concert on August 20, 2022, in Philadelphia.[20]

Notes
- ^ The genre of mewithoutYou has been described as post-hardcore,[1] emo,[2] indie rock,[3] and folk rock.[4] Additionally, due to the religious themes in some songs and four albums released on Tooth & Nail Records, mewithoutYou has been categorized as Christian rock or Christian punk, which the band denies.[1]
- ^ Blood Enough For Us All was released the year before mewithoutYou officially began and there is some controversy over whether it counts as a release by the band. However, two of the people who played on the album are official members of the band and it was released under the name mewithoutYou.[7]
