Meriwether is a Baton-Rouge-based rock band that wears its Louisiana pride like a badge of honor. Meriwether contends that honesty is the key to good music, and honesty flows through every note they write and play. Beyond The South’s earnestness, the band is influenced by their home state’s musical foundation, singer/guitarist Drew Reilley offers, “Not so much with instrumentation, but more so with the overall vibe of the band — where we are from is a part of our sound — we play brutally honest rock ‘n roll with an eclectic background.”
Since the individual members of Meriwether, whose ages range from early to mid twenties, played in other bands before Meriwether, they had a bit of experience under their belts to combine with their raging desire to play music. Formed in the summer of 2003, Meriwether, rounded out by guitarist Steve Bergeron, bassist Josh Barbier, drummer Brett Schexnayder, hit the ground running, touring right off the bat for an entire year, and selling 10,000 copies of the melodically rocking Make Your Move (GVE Records) out of the trunk.
The thoroughly DIY Meriwether clocked 300 shows in a year and a half, sharing stages with the likes of Anberlin, Living Colour, and 30 Seconds To Mars. They also performed on a date of the inaugural Taste Of Chaos tour, featuring The Used, My Chemical Romance, Killswitch Engage, and Underoath; they won this prized, coveted slot thanks to a MySpace contest where users voted on which band they wanted to see perform on the tour.
