Southern Weather by the Almost
 When
Underoath's second vocalist/drummer spends his down time making
a solo pop/rock record, then forms another band to play live, he
ends up with two extremely successful acts on his hands. Aaron
Gillespie says “It’s such a cool feeling being on stage and
playing ‘Amazing Because It Is,’ and there’s 600 to a 1,000 kids
singing along to ‘Amazing Grace”. The Almost’s debut album
Southern Weather sold 29,000 copies its first week. Their video
for lead single “Say This Sooner” quickly entered “Big 10”
rotation on MTV, as the track became a Top 10 hit at Alternative
Rock Radio by press time.
And all of this because Gillespie fought off boredom during a
lull in the recording of Define The Great Line by writing songs.
Gillespie explains, “When we do records, I have a lot of down
time because I play drums and then wait to do vocals; so I have
five weeks or so to do a whole lot of nothing. This year, I
decided to use that time to write a record.” Two songs, “I
Mostly Copy Other People” and “Never Say I Told You So”, were
recorded in New
York with Gillespie playing all the instruments himself. And the
band’s newest edition was Dusty Redmon, formally of Beloved and
Dead Poetic. And what does Gillespie have to say when asked if
The Almost is a Christian hardcore Band? “I’m a Christian guy,” says
Gillespie, “and I’m in a Christian band.”
