You and I

You and I is a late 90s screamo band. While they maintained the heavy, chaotic elements typical of the genre; they're music has traveled well in terms of influence due to it's more tuneful and musical qualities. While other bands in the genre often simply played fast, You and I had a very solidly inventive rhythem section and two guitarists were who were able to add interesting textures and interplay to the music, incorporating riffs that recalled midwest emo, tech metal, and almost every other punk subgenre; often while holding down vocal parts at the same time. While You and I were by no means the only screamo band to integrate clean vocals and layered harmonies, they did it in the context of what were often atypical song structures, particularly on their final cd, "Curtain Falls", which was released in 2000 by Level Plane Records. Much of their approach can be traced to modern bands such as Thursday, whose singer actually hosted the last You and I show in his basement.
