The UNDEROATH (Spencer Chamberlain) Interview

[@Bluu3y3s]

i thank myspace every day for discovering awesome bands that have stayed talking to my soul after all these years

[@sarabordieri]

I'm SO excited about the new record! Great interview Nik :)

[@Metrosoda]

Thanks for doing this interview and thanks for coming to Norfolk, y'all were awesome!

[@dishinbiscuits]

Thank god for spencer bro. Him and Aaron are an absolute legendary duo. Fkn one of a kind and there will never be a band like Underoath, so glad they got back together.

[@IFIMTHEDEV1L]

UO changed my life. There was a CD called "you can't handle the tooth" and it had two UO songs on it. I was extremely sheltered as a pastor's son, so this band BLEW my mind forever❤

[@Shynotic]

I found out about them on The Worlds Strongest Man soundtrack growing up. 😂 It had Writing on the Walls on it. Changed everything for me.

[@redheadredemption2]

The tooth and nail compilation cds?? I had those too! How I learned about Emery, Anberlin, and Dead Poetic.

[@scrapson8789]

I'm sorry you had to grow up like that, hope you're doing better now

[@redheadredemption2]

@@scrapson8789 it's not always so bad. Some Christian families aren't psycho bible beaters. Even if the ideology doesn't make sense to you, there are still plenty of good values instilled in religious households. This is coming from someone raised Christian who no longer identifies as such.

[@jcollins95]

ME TOO!!! "You Can't Handle the Tooth" was how I discovered Underoath! And Writing On the Walls blew my mind. I listened to it on repeat for hours. I had never heard anything like it. Thank you Underoath for changing my life forever with one song!

[@taylorgriffing8465]

DTGL is one of the 'no skip' albums for me. Excited to see them this year.

[@acethedrummer]

awesome interview. Spencer was the nicest dude I talked to when I met him and the band at the marquee theater in Tempe back in 2019. Stoked to witness the 20th anniversary of They're Only Chasing Safety!

[@RedWagon888]

Manchester Orchestra is exactly as Spencer describes Live. I’ve seen 3 times, so good.

[@TraMahMusic]

When I was 14 years old I borrowed my sisters cd and 2 songs in I was totally hooked for life. I immediately picked up define the great line from a Best Buy on my way to go in a trip to Kentucky to see family and I listened on repeat for days because of the same reason Spencer’s talking about it was special and I could tell immediately starting it in my cd player and I feel I love with it. I’ve had a lot of the same struggle with addiction and being in dark places because my life has been hard fought and barely recognize I was totally judged by the church for my hang up and I felt no comfort there so I just listened to the real lyrics coming from an incredible real band and it literally changed my life I shout them out everywhere I go I have the lyrics from to whom it may concerned tatted on me and the classic Underoath logo tatted on my wrist. This is not easy for music to have that impact on me but I can say with full confidence that Underoath a music spoke to me in such a profound way that it literally saved my life. I listened to them in rehab and listened when I just wanted to bleed out and it really got me through I’m not trying to be cheesy but I honestly don’t know where I’d be without this band. I’m 32 years old now and still Underoath is the band closest to my hard. It saved my life. I can’t even describe it. Thank you to Spencer and all of the band mates I hope you know I made it to 32 years old because of this band. Okay done with the emotional comment but goddamn bro the impact y’all have had in people like me is insane and I’m so exited to hear the new music. You probably hear this stuff all the time but know I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Arron is the reason I started going ham on the drums and inspired me to sing, Spencer showed me how to be real in music and not hold back. My cheesy ness has retuned so I’ll end it with thank you Underoath I wouldn’t be here with you all. Underoath for life. I hope sometime I have the money to go to another show. Much love guys do what makes you happy and that’s for me personally the most important thing. Much love from Missouri

[@heavytherapy]

Manchester Orchestra opened for Jimmy Eat World last summer. And MO was so heavy. Check out their "COPE," "METN," and "Simple Math" albums.

[@davidpwolfe]

This gets my hyped AF for the new album!

[@Darrkness]

Same. Can't wait!

[@ProjectMayhem-g3o]

Spencer let me scream "WHATEVER I SAY GOES" in his mic during Down, Set, Go in Indianapolis on October 2nd! Man, the They're Only Chasing Safety tour was amazing!

[@driskull4249]

Saw them in NYC on the first night and prob the best show I've ever been to. Underoath are always amazing and genuinely one of the best bands of their era.

[@bradleyrocks618]

Going to see them Saturday and I’m pretty stoked!

[@rhino202]

Agree. Saw them in Columbus and the energy and fun they were having was contagious. They really know how to get the crowd involved. Heck, I got to sing into the mic 3x when he came down to the front row multiple times. One of the funnest shows I've been to

[@charliewaterson8401]

I love Spencer he is so open and charismatic

[@jcollins95]

He's a real genuine dude. I've met him a couple times, he was gracious and authentic. Much respect. 💙

[@JaredLand]

Underoath is one dope band period!

[@KTM3DAN]

I only discovered chasing safety and underoath last year! After 6months of constant playing I then listened to DTGL and that’s one of my all time favourite albums. Such a sick band, saw them live a few months back too

[@Ransom2fly]

Dude, Underoath and Lorna in one show would be a lifechanging cataclysm of awesome sauce

[@formsaudio]

Grew up loving Underoath's music, now my brother and I are finally learning to cover some of their songs- cool interview! Subscribed 👍

[@hydrakn]

Each new UO album gets more replays from me than the last the older I get, they just keep leveling up, great interview

[@staygood249]

I have seen these guy many times and I can honestly say they have NEVER disappointed live.. I may not have loved every record but those song i didn't care for, turned out to be some of my favorites from live shows. Keep doing your thing guys.

[@mightyORFEN]

When the sun sleeps was my favorite song for almost all of my youth. Love Underoath and that song is actually tattooed on my wrists. "When the" on one arms wrist and "Sun Sleeps" on the other wrist. IN RED! Thats awesome they are playing that in the set. Ive not had a chance to see them live and I am gonna do my best to see them in St. Petersburg this December. Its a decent drive, but im sure itll be worth it. Even if I have to go alone, which I probably will.

[@jpl1608]

okay. this was the type of honesty i was waiting for from UO. But at the same time, if this album doesnt hit some of that satisfying flavors like he's talking about, i'm going to be confused as to what he's talking about.

[@NewtypeGuardian]

When the sun sleeps was the first song I ever heard and loved when Spencer came in their only chasing safety and to this day one of my favorite albums to this day I'll see them dec 3rd and can't wait

[@RedWagon888]

Been a fan since Define the Great Line. Can’t wait to see them in Atlanta in December!

[@sleepingxawake]

Super excited for the new record! This interview was great!

[@rhino202]

Dude is a performer. They killed at Inkcarcwration last year to a crowd that had mostly never heard of them. The TOCS tour to loving fans who grew up with these guys has been amazing. Love the energy and fun they showed un Columbus. An awesome time

[@britneyelena20]

just saw them the other day, one of the best shows ive been to

[@DenisAshton]

Excited for the new album ! N I love the “teeth” single!

[@mocolumbo708]

I remember listening to they're only chasing safety when it came out and how my parents said I will grow out of this screamy music phase LOL

[@devindavis7453]

TOCS is one of the greatest album ever! They absolutely killed it here in Sacramento this tour.

[@matthewratchford6869]

Got to see them in Philly and they played When The Sun Sleeps. My best friend passed away and that was one of his favorite songs. I’m so thankful that they had it on the list and it was really therapeutic and meaningful for me.

[@scrapson8789]

Its not really that deep, they played it the last years tour too. 🙄

[@fractured44]

Seeing them Friday! Thanks for the interview.

[@bengossler6193]

Perfect Show: Underoath, Coheed and Cambria, Finch:SHTSH in its entirety. OR He is Legend: It Hates You in its entirety.

[@ryandyar1248]

I saw Underoath and He Is Legend on an awesome night in Portland waaaay back in the day. UO played I’ve Got Ten Friends live before it was released. Great era of my life!

[@DuskWolf1210]

I’m actually seeing underoath on Friday in Milwaukee! But I’m not going to lie, while I wasn’t sure about Teeth at first, it’s grown on me, it’s kind of catchy! I remember seeing the comments about the Erase Me album that UO put out and they got crucified for that too, but it was a good album. I’m stoked for the new UO record!

[@fast_mattw8059]

Lets fucking go! Grew up here in Maine going to Mass to the Palladium in Worcester and have seen the boys countless times. Theyve come to maine too and ive seen them here but those palladium shows were always really special. Great interview!

[@kingchuckfinley]

I saw a lot of people hating on “teeth” but I actually really liked it. When it gets heavy, it gets heavy. I think this album might pull me back in.

[@rhino202]

It's way better live

[@Metrosoda]

I personally love their work with REZZ, as a big D&B fan Teeth was maybe jarring but so awesome to hear, especially live. I understand why people might not like it though, it's so different.

[@b7shoota]

saw the chasing safety tour last night in stroudsburg. surreal seeing them play this all these years later. i saw that same set in 2005.

[@luckystadium]

I was already hyped for the anniversary tour, hearing They’re Only Chasing Safety live, but now I’m extra hype hearing that they might even play When the Sun Sleeps 😍 Please play that in Cleveland!! Super pumped for the new album, too, of course! That old stuff is just nostalgic for me.

[@mernest6835]

Spencer's description of Manchester Orchestra is spot on, also his lineup rules

[@TheoTechReviews]

can't wait for the release ! So glad Underoath is still around

[@anomalyraven]

Oh man, so exciting! The Changing of Times and They're Only Chasing Safety, are my favourite albums.

[@phillipdavis3041]

I can’t wait for this record!!😮

[@jordanbyates]

Spencer is 41 and looks 28. Never lost the ability to do what he does best. A true legend of Post Hardcore.

[@albertovaldivia6132]

Yo nick love the questions you ask and how intrigued the special guest gets all the time!

[@abefromen1]

We need a BMTH/UØ tour!

There was one, Sausage King of Chicago 🫡 American Nightmare tour 2017 w/ Beartooth

Can't wait .

[@MinLee2]

I remember when UO dropped Sālmarnir as the teaser for Define. I was like WTF, but also so stoked.

[@DuduCarrillo]

Excellent Interview 😊 I Love Underoath ⁷⁷⁷ Thanks u Spencer Chamberlain!!

[@hannesbornman1045]

I still think Disambiguation was their best album thus far. I could never really get into their 'lighter' stuff like TOCS or Erase me.

[@AllthatremainsMV]

Definitely their most mature sound and has the most talented musicianship

[@YouDontKNowLee]

Paper Lung hits different

[@sykx7]

Lost and Disambiguation were peak for me. I think that this next record can live in that echelon.

[@DFTRTITAN]

Heard, Deftoath is the best album

[@radicalradaghast7772]

That album is indeed great, I can only imagine how much better it would have been had Aaron been on drums….

[@Darrkness]

I still want that full version of how to UO in 30 sec. Be even better with Spencer and Aaron on it!

[@lisabyford]

Excellent interview!

[@harpchell]

Define The Great Line is the greatest piece of work I've ever listened too

[@evangoestoshows]

Everyone go see the Thrice tour with Manchester. I saw them with Brand new a long time ago. Its an experience

[@bdb000x5]

Thank you for clearing the air re teeth! Stoked for the new record

[@miserablebrian]

Why does this dude look so fuckin sickly??

[@dapedaily]

Is the evil version of spencer called a dispenser?

[@MaskBoy]

Just saw them live the other day

[@Chris_dang_westcott]

Was it a good show?

[@HeartandRootPhoto]

what a legend to interview!!!! ugh!

[@ShaneUrbas]

The fuck Chasing Safety is 20 years old??? thanks for I don’t feel very receptive today. I can’t count the amount of times I listened to it growing up. Got me through a lot of bad times. Saw you guys at the Paramount during the Blind Obedience tour. It was a great night. First time hearing Loathe too and damn I was not ready for that.

[@Bpace777]

I didn’t think I liked Teeth until I heard it live. They are so polished now

[@adamwex7965]

Pneumonia is super underrated underoath song

[@Will.Tristan]

wear headphones lads, helps with echo cancelation/cutouts 😂 great pod though besides that

[@CountGremlin]

I hope UnderØath comes down to South Florida!

[@nekogdabazarit9287]

There should be a Nic's blink-meter on the screen

[@ancisuyo8056]

This runs through

[@Zuma91]

Been listening since “When the sun sleeps”🔥

[@THROWGODTV]

When the sun sleeps

[@Timeforceletsgo]

Spencer is so damn cool. Awesome interview.

[@landonjones676]

Is nik having some type of health issue? I truly mean that with all sincerity. Don’t know who he is but this was recommended and he looks insanely rough with the eyes and skin color. No offense folks.

[@arnolds_protege]

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't watched in a while and he looks sickly. Hopefully it's just sleep deprivation from grinding.

[@Chris_dang_westcott]

That’s just a colour saturation thing.

[@cwrichardson3]

Well he's Nik Nocturnal. With a name like that he probably doesn't get much sleep. He has tremendous bags

[@hydrakn]

He said BOTCH! instant bonus points for the man

[@kbalan93]

4 seconds in and wondering how many times Spencer will play with his hair.

[@blaynefossati7156]

These guys are riding the nostalgia train of theyre only chasing safety.The last album was a prog rock joke.Teeth is really cool but the fact remains that they will always be riding the coattail of they're only chasing safety and defining the great line.

[@Chris_dang_westcott]

That’s true! However, give the new shit a chance, it’s legit good! I get it tho, it’s hard to shed the nostalgia!

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

I think that's more about people's nostalgia rather than the band themselves which is a shame because their later albums are really solid.

[@JaredLand]

Country pop > country metalcore yeah

[@nickshepley2566]

30:11 I wanna see BVB, Lorna Shore, and The Weeknd in a concert Just to see heads roll

[@PigglyWigglyDeluxe]

I’d go to that lol

[@tylercarter2445]

Great to hear his pov on change. Very curious what happened with James Smith. Anyone know?

[@Chris_dang_westcott]

He was fired. His relevancy in the band wasn’t worth what they were paying him. It sucks… but it’s all about money in the end!

[@tylercarter2445]

@@Chris_dang_westcott I guess that makes sense from a business sense. And I was never able to get a read on his passion, just because he was so quiet.

[@Chris_dang_westcott]

@@tylercarter2445 yeah he was a difficult read! He seemed nice enough, and was a good player, but if someone could be replaced (by technology in the case) it was gunna be him. Rarely did any press, didn’t record or write on the new records.
