Long Description:
When We Met, a rock duo that creates music reminiscent 90's rock and 80's new wave with post punk vibes. Although WWM is reluctant to being called a duo, afraid this gives off the wrong impression of most their music, they are a two piece band who happed to be married, so duo it is. Just don't leave out the ROCK!
When We Met live is typically Melissa ripping it up on bass guitar while Bryan shreds on guitar with their booming unique tracks made by Bryan dripping throughout the performance. Noticeably living their best life on stage, the couple is know for their energetic and engaging performances as well as having great senses of humor while making some serious music.
WWM not only writes, records, performs music, but have also released two epic tour documentaries and have an ever expanding collection of animated music videos.

Reviews / Quotes
"When We Met is a duo that performs effusive, punkish power pop anthems. Both members sing and are also accompanied by an arsenal of samples and drum programming, which gives them a surprisingly big sound for such a small group. The two also bounce around stage, creating an engaging and electrifying performance." - ALISON DENNIS, Portland Notes
"Their chemistry was infectious and their sound highly energetic, often danceable, a mix of late 80’s New Wave and mid 90’s Indie Rock. Both of them shared vocal duties and sang about everything from women’s rights to their own personal demons." - Freeform Portland
"This Portland, OR, duo brings that great new wave/punk touch in a manner similar to the B-52’s and DEVO with that Pixies attitude thrown in. Get off your ass and dance your blues away." - Audio Fuzz
