UNDEROATH:
BAND ANNOUNCE SPRING HEADLINING TOUR
IN THE MIDST OF TASTE OF CHAOS TREK
CONFIRMED FOR VANS WARPED TOUR THIS SUMMER
BREAKOUT ALBUM ‘THEY’RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY’ ACHIEVES
SALES OF OVER 140,000 COPIES
"Crushing melodic and affecting all at once…" praised Alternative Press (9/04) of the FL-based sextet UNDEROATH, whose breakout third album THEY’RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY on Seattle’s Tooth & Nail has already sold over 140,000 copies. Now in the midst of the Taste of Chaos Tour also featuring The Used and My Chemical Romance, UNDEROATH will launch a headlining U.S. trek in late March before hopping on the Vans Warped Tour this summer.
In other news, the band just received their two millionth play on the popular PureVolume.com music site, making UNDEROATH the second-most downloaded band in the history of the site.
Produced by James Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever), THEY’RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY hits hard with 10 solid tracks of mind-blowing rock laced with soaring experimental melodies and artful electronic textures. THEY’RE ONLY CHASING SAFETY is the follow-up to UNDEROATH’s The Changing Of The Times (2002) on Solid State Records, which became the indie label’s top-seller with sales of over 60,000 of copies.
The band–SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN (vocals), TIM McTAGUE (guitar), GRANT BRANDELL (bass), AARON GILLESPIE (drums/vocals), CHRISTOPHER DUDLEY (keyboards) and JAMES SMITH (guitar)–deliver live with their blend of "passionate, tear-and-ear jerking, super-melodic alt-metalcore" (Alternative Press, 9/04). Standout songs "Reinventing Your Exit" and "A Boy Brushed Red Living in Black and White" showcase the band’s infectious choruses and heartfelt lyricism.
Stay tuned for more news from UNDEROATH, who’ve toured with: My Chemical Romance, Anberlin, Coheed and Cambria, Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Norma Jean, Zao and Throwdown, to name a few.
