THE ALMOST is Aaron Gillespie, Underoath drummer/singer/songwriters' new full time band where he will be singing up front and getting out from behind the drum kit. He is one of the two singers in underoath and known more for his straight rock leanings. THE ALMOST is a fuller exploration of that musical direction and the new album will be released in April.
