Spencer Chamberlain Talks Underoath Rebirth: "We Had To Burn Down The House And Rebuild It"

[@Verrick88]

I'm a 27 year old fan who started listening to Underoath at 13 they have always been my favorite band... I saw them for the first time this past April in Orlando...first time I had the money to see them...

[@sandersonsister_11]

Same! I started listening to them when I was 14 and now I'm 24 and saw them for the first time ever with BMTH when they were in Orlando at the beginning of this month!

[@Verrick88]

beautyisthebeast_11 Awesome... It was the best night of my life... They played They're only chasing safety and Define the great line back to back... I have never been that tired after a show and A Day to Remember is from my home town... Their local shows can get chaotic...

[@sandersonsister_11]

Haha doesn't surprise me! But cool! That's awesome!

[@ginopinela9999]

same!!!

[@BigBen1991]

Rock on Josh, I have been a fan since around then. I am 26. Ive seen them live 5 times. They are probably the band that pushed me to keep pushing on. Never to give up. Then Demon Hunter continued that flame when their music burned out.

[@ghouse23]

i still get chills listening to define the great line. i miss being 17 and raging out at the shows. i used to be able to play almost all the songs on the drums. underoath for life.

[@JR-hk2yf]

Ruben C i can play EVERY uo song on drums. I scream louder than spencer at the shows.....

[@ameliasingleton1166]

define the great line was a masterpiece worth every dollar i spent on it at the time forever love them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JR-hk2yf]

Amelia Singleton so was lost in the sound of separation. That album changed my life. Disambiguation was so well put together

[@raquellemon4828]

I love that you love them ❤️

[@bigtakeshi]

This is really cool, my only question is the whole "full time" thing. I know Tim, Chris, Aaron, and James can't tour full time because they have kids. However, I think Underoath is at a place where they can tour 5 months or so out of the year and be fine. When you're able to sell out 1500 - 2000+ capacity venues every night as a headlining band with no label or contract behind you, you're able to succeed independently which is HARD to accomplish. They basically spent 13 years building up to this point.

[@AndresCruz-mb2ir]

My first time seeing this band was yesterday and they were amazing.

[@derekisazombie39]

So fucking ready for a new Underoath album!!! "On My Teeth" has me going crazy

[@MisterButterfingers]

I've never been a fan of post hardcore, but this is such a fantastic story and interview.

[@franciscogomez6283]

I got into Underoath when I was 13, I'm 17 now. They were also the band that got me into Hardcore music.

[@collinqs2541]

Francisco Gomez what other hardcore bands you like?

[@PomPomMeowMeow]

Francisco Gomez Lol I got into them when I was about 12 or 13. I turn 26 in June.

[@ginopinela9999]

REAL, GENUINE, AUTHENTIC. LOVE HIM, LOVE THEM FOREVERRRRRR

[@charlesharwood8447]

First time I saw Underoath was 2006 Taste of Chaos in Brisbane at the age of 15, man what a fucking show. Define the Great Line and They're Only Chasing Safety are both up there in my favourite albums of all time. My partner and I were at the Brisbane show the night before this interview too, again, so amazing. Can't wait for the new album!

[@brotherleejr4550]

great interview, mate.

[@lukeallison88]

you're a brilliant interviewer mate

[@TheNeversphere]

Thank you! I had many, many years to prepare for this :)

[@JR-hk2yf]

Spencers best interview ever

[@DLCTX]

Saw them for free in college with Jimmy Eat World at FSU. Really took it for granted.

[@Robert048]

He seems like a pretty nice dude. Good interview.

[@michaelv8721]

I'm going to see them for the first time at Self Help this September! I'm so excited!!

[@JR-hk2yf]

Underoath is THE BEST band EVER!!!

[@eliasplaysmusic]

I can’t wait to hear some new stuff 12 years after define came out

[@breadordecide]

Cut to now: NEW ALBUM BAYBEEE!

[@elvilx3262]

Where'd you get that shirt. it's nice

[@M1XEDBAG]

When will we get new music?

[@JAMESHARTDRUMS]

Is that a We May Fall shirt?

[@TheNeversphere]

It is! Good spot.

[@JAMESHARTDRUMS]

Shared the stage with them in Brisbane, They are great dudes

[@TheNeversphere]

Great merch too :)

[@frankieshort2016]

So now since Beyonce is real popular I can make a lot more people fans of us

[@jonathanmisaelaguinagarami1935]

Alguien que la suba traducida por favor!!! ✌️😂

[@MixedbyJMART]

great interview. Spencer is so itchy ha

[@JohnDoe-mv2be]

Drug use dude..

[@jonw1235]

underoath in the age of Trump? Doesn't make sense...

[@tronlorne9328]

Jon W quit trying to be funny. You’re not.

[@DwayneCreates]

Spencer is acting like an ice addict here. Scratching himself big time, itching for his next fix.

[@Mu.ShroomLord]

Vheissu lol we all know they get so lit on tour.

[@connorpeppermint8635]

He was addicted to coke but i think hes been clean for a few years

[@Oats4761]

he's been like that since he came on the lineup

[@igormendonca4026]

disagreeable ESFP with developed Fi

[@micdap7533]

Dude clearly has very little understanding of the history of hardcore and metalcore. They were definitely not one of the first bands to make this shit more widely accepted lmao

[@metalboy27]

Any other examples? Underoath appealed more to the post-hardcore folks than bands like KSE, LoG, or AILD though, which was actually a very popular genre with bands like Senses Fail, Hawthorne Heights, and Story of the Year making it mainstream.

[@DesolationofJake]

Underoath isnt metalcore or hardcore bud..

[@micdap7533]

jake tee I didn't say they were lol. But he literally said "there were others before us" and then he mentioned poison the well and the refused. Makes no sense lol. And yeah define the great line definitely had alot of metalcore riffs which was the time period he was referring to. There were plenty of bands from "that scene" that got big before these guys

[@micdap7533]

metalboy27 yeah it's just that's not what he said. He brought up the refused and poison the well in comparison

[@metalboy27]

Poison the Well isn't super far off style-wise though. But that's what I mean, they basically combined post-hardcore with metalcore. I'd say Eighteen Visions is another similar example. They definitely gave people, who were into the pop-punk/emo/post-hardcore scenes at the time, a "bridge" sort of into metalcore. But again, I agree that they didn't necessarily make metalcore more mainstream (not that it has ever been close to mainstream).
