Hellerup, Copenhagen, Denmark (1995 – present)
Mew is an alternative rock band which formed in Hellerup, Denmark in 1995. The band consists of Jonas Bjerre (vocals), Bo Madsen (guitar), and Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen (drums). When on tour, Mew is supported by Dr. Nick Watts (Headswim) on keyboard, and Bastian Juel on bass (original bassist Johan Wohlert left in 2006). The band’s music can be described as experimental pop or as singer Jonas Bjerre mentioned in a recent interview: “I think that we combine pop music with something that’s much more experimental, in our own way. I don’t think I would even try and describe it. It’s difficult.”
The members of Mew started playing music together in 1995. Mew first achieved success in Denmark with their album Frengers, although their debut album, A Triumph for Man, had been met with much critical acclaim back in 1997. At the 2003 Danish Music Critics Award Show, Mew won the awards for “Album of the Year” and “Band of the Year.” Until this point Mew was relatively unknown outside of Denmark; however after a European tour supporting R.E.M. Mew began to attract wider attention. After releasing the critically-acclaimed album And The Glass Handed Kites, featuring contributions from J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, Mew has built on their success in Denmark as well as attracting attention from the UK. In the summer of 2006, they toured as the supporting act for Bloc Party in the U.S. as well as for Kasabian in the U.S. and Canada in the fall. After these tours, they returned to Denmark to work on new material.

I love this band, and I have had friends ask me to discribe them, give them a genre. I can't. I end up saying a mish-mash of genres that make no sense. Then they ask for bands for comparison, and that's even worse to do... I've managed to spread the love though. I love them :)

MetalEmmanuel: The guitarist of Mew himself has said several that what they make is pop music... agree with it if you want... or don't... but they themselves call it pop music so ;)

MetalEmmanuel: stop thinking about pop like it's all like britney spears. But yeah, it has simple structures and etc. That's where the "progressive" and "experimental" tags..come (?).
