The Almost

Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie’s side project, The Almost, is back to put out the highly anticipated sophomore album Monster Monster.

Anticipation has built for over a year now after The Almost’s debut album Southern Weather, which sold over 240K units, went out on Van’s Warped Tour and got rave reviews.

From hearing the super catchy single, Say This Sooner along with several other hit songs like Amazing Because It Is and Dirty and Left Out… Monster Monster is sure to come out with nothing short of some epic, refreshing, and stick-in-your-head tunes that will have everyone jammin’ out to.
Produced by Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, Emery) at Dark Horse Studio in Nashville.

CD only $12.99.

Aaron Gillespie is a man obsessed. Whether he’s out in front of The Almost, his new, eagerly anticipated rock-based project, or behind the drum kit for Underøath, the Clearwater, Florida-bred songwriter/musician can’t help but throw himself into everything he does.

The Almost lets Gillespie put a different, more melodic side of himself on display. Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his idol Dave Grohl, who stepped out from behind his drum kit to capture the rock world’s hearts as one of the genre’s most visible frontmen, Gillespie has begun a metamorphosis.

The No Gift To Bring EP is an eclectic one, offering up a brand new song (the achingly introspective “Awful Direction”), a cover song, radically new versions of two tracks from Southern Weather (“Dirty And Left Out” and “Amazing Because It Is”) and Aaron Gillespie’s take on a classic Christmas song, “Little Drummer Boy”, which is also featured on X Christmas.

With Southern Weather, The Almost gives Gillespie the opportunity to put a different musical side of himself on display. Performing nearly every instrument on the disc, Gillespie worked with acclaimed Seattle-based producer Aaron Sprinkle (Emery, Anberlin) on Southern Weather.
