You and I were a highly influential Brunswick, New Jersey based band that has influenced countless bands in their brief existence. In the late 90's You & I were a groundbreaking band that were brutal, crushing, yet had a knack to throw you for a loop and be melodic at times as well. You & I's lyrics were sincere, honest, and heartfelt without being too "emo" or contrived. You & I took the sheer heaviness and brutality of bands like Unbroken and Converge, and took that style of music and turned it on its head by adding the pop sensibilities of bands like Lifetime. On initial thought, you'd think this wouldn't work stylisitically, but the approach worked well for the band. Amazing stuff to say the least. Members of You & I went on to play in Hot Cross, The Assistant, and In First Person in the late 90's and early 2000's. Members of You & I can now be found playing in Black Kites and Less Life. On a sad note, Black Kites is officially calling it quits and are gearing up to play their final show soon. If you live in the New Jersey area, try to catch their final performance. As regular readers know, I'm a huge Black Kites and Less Life fan, so I'm definitely bummed out about hearing Black Kites calling it a day. All in all, You & I were an amazing band. Do yourself a favor and give these two albums a listen. Highly recommended! Enjoy!
