Underoath's new album, Define the Great Line, comes out tomorrow! They have really grown on me since I first heard "It's Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door" off of They're Only Chasing Safety (download it!) and they seem to be getting more popular. The group is really giving Christian hardcore a good name.
"I feel like I want people to know we're a Christian band," vocalist SPENCER CHAMBERLAIN says of UNDEROATH's collective devotion. "But at the same time I don't like tacking God or the fact that we're Christian onto something to sell more records. I don't want just to be marketed as a Christian band because I think we go beyond that. Tags can be limiting."
"For us it's a fear of stereotype," GILLESPIE explains. "Like, 'You're Christian, so you can't be my friend.' I mean, Jesus was at lunch with whores and hookers! Still, our Christianity defines who we are."
