With a plethora of musical tastes and backgrounds ranging from classical to blues to country to metal and hardcore the band "as I you" shows no limitations with their writing ability and style. Starting in June 2003 with a solid five piece line up "as I you" has done nothing but try to break the mold of today's boring repetitive metalcore. With music influenced by bands such as Unearth, Figure Four, No Innocent Victim, Nodes of Ranvier and Hatebreed the band mixes metal and hardcore together seamlessly. The vocals are a mixture of Hatebreed and older Zao with lyrics that have a definite social conscience. This band tries their hardest to be real to everyone they come in contact with and be examples of their faith in Jesus Christ.
After playing a countless number of shows in the last two years, across Indiana and the Chicago land area, with bands such as Sworn Enemy, Nodes of Ranvier, Still Remains, Haste the Day, Symphony In Peril and Disciple, "as I you" is preparing to start a new chapter. They have just finished recording their debut full length entitled 'Gave Blood. Gave Life'. They are releasing it independently as a testament to all their hard work over the last two years. "This is everything we are and more." stated bassist Brian. After the CD's release the band is planning on continuing to play shows for anyone and everyone into the New Year, while also searching for a label to possibly call home. So be ready and gear up for the metalcore onslaught to begin with this band as they make a name for themselves.
