Bio
Withagainst is a loud, obnoxious, raunch rock and roll trio formed in early 2004. Withagainst has played non-stop live shows since our conception and has developed a loyal and devoted following. The live show is alive. Withagainst prides itself on delivering unique and unforgettable concert experiences. With a blending of a few chords, noise, and ambition we are able to raise the standard of performance in a club act no matter the stage, the venue, or the "scene."
All songs are originals written and arranged by Withagainst.
We are influenced by many of the Detroit standards, MC5, Motown, the Gories, Iggy and the stooges, but also the simplicity of Buddy Holly, the arrangements of Brian Eno, the eclectic George Clinton, the vulnerability of Joanna Newsom, the irony of the Silver Jews, the wit of the Velvet Underground, the scope of Bob Dylan, the sincerity of Tom Waits, and the intellect of thinkers such as Wallace Stevens, Derrida, Nietzsche, Pound, Joyce, Whitman, Baudelaire, Rimbuad, and Rand.
