Mew
Mew were a Danish alternative rock band from Copenhagen, formed in 1995. The band's core lineup consisted of lead singer Jonas Bjerre, guitarist Bo Madsen, bassist Johan Wohlert and drummer Silas Utke Graae Jørgensen. Madsen left the band in 2015, while Wohlert was absent from the band from 2006 to 2013.
The band began to receive international attention with their third album, Frengers, in 2003. Two of their albums reached number one in Denmark: No More Stories... (2009) and + − (2015), with the former being their only to chart in the United States. In 2025 and 2026, the band went on a global farewell tour.
Whilst their music may be classified as indie and on occasion progressive rock, former guitarist Bo Madsen said "I usually say we are 'indie stadium.' A mix between 'feelings' and 'thinking' is usually good."
