UNDEROATH

Underoath is an American rock band formed in 1997 in Ocala, Florida, by lead vocalist Dallas Taylor and guitarist Luke Morton. The band later established its base in Tampa, Florida, with additional members from the area, including drummer and singer Aaron Gillespie, who is the band's last remaining original member. The lineup has experienced frequent changes during its early years. Taylor contributed to the recordings of Act of Depression, Cries of the Past, and The Changing of Times before leaving the band in 2003. He was replaced by Spencer Chamberlain as lead vocalist, a position he has held since. The current lineup includes Gillespie, keyboardist Christopher Dudley, lead guitarist Timothy McTague, bassist Grant Brandell, and Spencer Chamberlain. Originally, Underoath identified as a Christian band, but they have since distanced themselves from Christianity. Their albums They're Only Chasing Safety and Define the Great Line both achieved gold certification by the RIAA. These albums are their most commercially successful releases and contributed to their mainstream recognition, with Define the Great Line reaching number two on the Billboard 200 chart.
