Woe, Is Me has lost as many members -six- as there are in the band today. Underoath is a completely different band than they were in 1997.

MEB staffer Austin Gordon recently got the opportunity to hang out with synth-pop wonder Lights and talk to her about her current tour, her new record Siberia, the music industry, apple pie, and more!
