You, Me, and Everyone We Know is a rock band from Washington, D.C., fronted by singer-songwriter Ben Liebsch. The band has released five EPs and one full-length album.
Its debut EP Party for the Grown and Sexy was released in 2006, followed by So Young, So Insane, was released on November 18, 2008. Some Things Don't Wash Out, the band's full-length debut, came out in October 2010.
In early 2011, five members announced their departure from the band, citing the actions of singer Ben Liebsch as "irreparable." Despite the split, the band released "Things Are Really Weird Right Now" on May 3, their final work together.
Liebsch announced in Summer 2012 that he was recording songs as a solo act for a new EP, which would eventually become "A Great Big Hole," released digitally on November 27, 2012 via the band's Bandcamp.
The band formed in 2006 consisting of lead singer Ben Liebsch, guitarists Ryan Sherrill and Noel Milford, bassist Dan Lee, and drummer Paul Martinez. Before You, Me, and Everyone We Know, Martinez and Sherrill were in a well-known D.C. band. That same year, You, Me, and Everyone We Know recorded their debut EP, Party for the Grown and Sexy with Trevor Simpson. The album received mostly positive reviews, with The Daily Chorus calling the work "a beacon that proves there are still bands that really enjoy the music they create" and gave the album an 8/10. Die Shellsuit, Die! gave the album a 9/10 and called the band "one of the funniest, most cheery, cheekily upbeat, smile inducing, rock-out-tastic fun poppy melodic pop-punk bands out there right now. Ever."
After releasing their debut EP, You, Me, and Everyone We Know was noticed by Drive-Thru Records' co-founders Richard Reines and Stefanie Reines, who offered to manage the band. While supporting the record, the band toured with acts including I Am the Avalanche, Piebald, Phantom Planet, Four Year Strong, and Plane and Pilot. However, in 2007, Dan Lee was replaced by bassist Mike O'Rourke, formerly of The Alpha Couple.
