The ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER heralded, "’Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear’" showed why the group has moved far ahead of its metal peers. Armed with soaring instrumentals you'd expect from someone like Explosions in the Sky, combined with epic gang vocals and hand claps, Underoath makes clear that this is not a typical band. Not only does it know how to headbang but this is also a group of acute musicians, and that talent is what stood out the most” (Jonathan Bautts11/16/08).

This TV performance comes in the midst of the acclaimed group’s summer-long main stage slot on the Vans Warped Tour. The 2009 trek marks the group’s sixth outing on the annual punk rock festival and their fourth run as a headlining act on the tour (see the full list of tour dates, cities and venues below). In his live review of the recent Cleveland show, Michael Gallucci noted of sextet:

“Underoath closed Warped down, one of two acts with 8 p.m. slots as the other stages tore down. They continue to have one of the more impressive stage shows, highlighted by keyboardist Chris Dudley who head-banged nearly the entire time, while switching between the keys and a pair of drums located nearby. The Christian metalcore act turn up the sonic heat, with blistering breaks, slashing guitars and frontman Spencer Chamberlain’s howling vocals.” (CLEVELAND SCENE, Live Review, July 10, 2009)

On Sunday, September 6, UNDEROATH perform with 3OH3!, All American Rejects, Bad Religion, Katy Perry, NOFX, Rise Against and more in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre for the Vans Warped Tour 15th Anniversary Celebration. Performances from the event and behind-the-scenes footage will be a one-night-only event airing in more than 460 movie theaters across the U.S. on Thursday, September 17. Tickets to the Vans Warped Tour 15th Anniversary Celebration--in-theaters on September 17th--are available online at www.FathomEvents.com and at participating theaters.

UNDEROATH--whose last three albums have combined sales in excess of one million copies--released their fourth album LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION on Seattle indie Tooth & Nail/Solid State in 2008. The disc marked the top rock debut for the week and entered the Billboard Top 200 Album chart at #8, #1 on the Top Christian albums chart and #5 on the Top Digital albums chart, with over 9,476 digital downloads sold in its first week alone. UNDEROATH--lead vocalist SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN, guitarist TIM MCTAGUE, bassist GRANT BRANDELL, drummer AARON GILLESPIE, keyboardist CHRISTOPHER DUDLEY and guitarist JAMES SMITH--continue to garner new fans and widespread critical acclaim for LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION as well as their powerful live performances.
