Underoath side project recruits Jeremy Enigk (SDRE), joins Warped

The Almost, the rock-focused side project which features Aaron Gillespie of Underoath recently revealed some information about their forthcoming debut.

Notably,
Gillespie was able to enlist the services of Jeremy Enigk, the vocalist from both Sunny Day Real Estate, The Fire Theft, and most recently his own solo project which released World Waits. Enigk will also soon join Brand New for their upcoming UK tour.

As for the record itself, Aaron explained the sound and need for a side project:

I wrote all the songs last year when Underoath was in the studio doing 'Define the Great Line,'
I'd do all the drums, then have a three-week to a month lull between doing drums and singing. I got so bored, so I wrote these 11 songs.

I wouldn't try to put something like this on an Underoath record because it doesn't really fit that niche. It's just rock tunes -- pretty structured rock tunes, which doesn't really work for Underoath, because Underoath is an unstructured/moment kind of thing. This is more Foo Fighters-esque.

Besides Enigk, Aaron has also enlisted Starting Line's Kenny Vasoli to contribute bass The record, titled Southern Weather is due out April 3rd. The band will also be supporting the album on this summers Warped Tour.
