You and Them Tickets

You and Them is a melodic post-hardcore/ progressive-influenced band from Grand Rapids, Michigan, delivering organized noise with heavy, dismal tones. Since forming in the Grand Rapids scene, the group has built a dedicated following through introspective lyrics, dynamic guitar work, and a distinctive blend of aggression and atmosphere. The core lineup features Dane Gardner on vocals, Cam Forton on lead guitar, Ricky Peshoff on rhythm guitar, Ben Steele on drums, and Cameron Altman on bass, forming a tight, collaborative unit that thrives on momentum and mood.

The project released a self-produced debut album in 2020, simply titled You and Them, showcasing a cohesive collection of tracks that lean into earnest intensity and melodic hooks. The band’s lead single "Typical Criminal" stands out as a defining moment from that release, highlighting their penchant for heavy textures paired with melodic sensibilities. Whether you’re catching them in intimate rooms or on festival stages, You and Them brings a raw, visceral energy to every performance.

Known for their engagement with the Grand Rapids arts scene, they earned a notable nod from Local Spins after performing at the Festival of the Arts in June 2022—an event that helped them reach a broader local audience while staying true to their independent roots. If you’re looking to secure a spot with a band that combines gravity with groove, You and Them is worth following as they navigate the evolving landscape of indie post-hardcore in Michigan.
