You, Me, and Everyone We Know are currently on tour in support of their first full length record Some Things Don't Wash Out. What really stands out with this album and the band in general is the vocals. Front man Ben Liebsch has a fantastic voice but when all 6 members of YMAEWK sing together is when they really shine. These "gang vocals" certainly put an emphasis of emotion on the album, but would they hold up live?

Short answer, yes. YMAEWK's vocals were just as big live as I expected them to be. Liebsch on his own commands attention as he paces the stage in a successful effort to connect with each crowd member. But the highlight was the loud and crisp gang vocals which poured over Highline Ballroom.

You, Me and Everyone We Know put on a solid live show with the vocals exceeding expectations. Some Things Don't Wash Out is a very good pop/rock album that plays very well live. I think YMAEWK have a great sound and will be playing to much larger crowds very soon.

4 out of 5
