- APTV Nick Major caught up with newly reunited Underoath at the third annual Self-Help festival in San Bernadino, California.
Underoath’s Spencer Chamberlain and Aaron Gillespie spoke about the band’s triumphant return and what motivated them to get back together.
“I think it just takes time, its like friendship, you know, it's hard to be a kid on tour and grow into a man,” Chamberlain says. “We did this because we love each other, and we needed to take a step back and get our heads right.”
The conversation gets real when Major asks the burning question in every fan’s mind: Is new music in the works?
“I think only time can tell, to me it sounds insane if we didn't write music. If we release it or not who knows, but as of right now we’re focused on being a family being friends being a band and this tour,” Chamberlain says.
Gillespie describes the situation as the foundation still being wet and being in the process of rebuilding. However, the band is open to the idea.
“We’re not just coming to do some tour and disappear again, that’s stupid. We lifted the hiatus, and everyone’s happy. We’re just really focused on that right now and keeping everyone together,” Chamberlain explains.
The guys talk about the intimate club shows the band has been surprising fans with upon their reunion.
“We love playing big shows and all that, but I think we’re best seen in the chaos. That’s kind of how we came up, and that's kind of what we do,” Gillespie says.
Watch the video for more details on the hiatus, the bond between bandmates, the history of Underoath and more!

One of the greatest bands of all time
+Alexander McYates I resonate with your taste, good sir. Matriarch is a phenomenal album as well.
My inner middle school self is screaming

My biggest influences together again.
Saw them play on Friday at marquee in Tempe, AZ. BEST SHOW ever, I was so excited to see them again and they played their hearts out it was incredible!
One of the only bands that give me chills to listen to
Same here
I became a Christian because you guys open my eyes to Jesus
Sad
Aaron looks like a really fit, stylish Philip Semour Hoffman now.
dude i love ur guys new album!!
Thank you!! We appreciate you checking it out 😄
Underøath is the best band! I love Spencer and Aaron so much! This makes me so happy
Spencer is such a sweet and chill guy. I legit totally forgot he was the lead singer of Underoath when I saw him playing live with his band, Sleepwave. He gave such a sick performance and was so into it. I ended up talking to him later that night for quite some time too. He was so down to earth and for that matter, his hair was longer then.
Wow! They seem to have still much energy after years... Awesome! Hopefully they will come to europe.
+Tonttarainen amen to that !!!! anywhere in europe I would go
I'm so happy these guys are back together! I got to see them for the first time in Chicago a few days ago.. Best show ever! I hope they put out another cd 🙏
So happy to see these dudes back together! Warped 2017 anyone???
Underoath on warped? Yeahhhhh right
meet aaron bc of pmore and he is such a beast!!!! this band it's awesome, thanks paramore 💛
I'm going to the Orlando show tonight, it's going to be a fucking madhouse.
spencer, aaron and I were all on the same plane all on our way to California!! So naturally I was exited to see this interview come out!!
+vegan4 life I didn't talk to will cuz he was on the phone but Aaron was really nice and I even got a pic and chatted a bit
+JayxRockx21 not Will I meant spencer. lol
Just saw them live on Saturday-- amazing.
+Emily Anne (LostButHappy) I was there too! That was a great show. Definitely one of the best metal/hardcore concerts i've been to.
***** It was the first I'd been to. I've only ever been to two concerts, that one and then last summer when Aaron Gillespie and William Beckett came to the Vinyl. I was in the pit the whole time at the front at UO, it was incredible.
ty so much for this, u guys make the most happinest woman in the world
When Matt Damon join the group
They were the biggest screamo influence back then, this was my favorite band since a boy brushed red and they are still my favs, im just waiting now for new stuff
Why am I just finding out about this now? This is the best line up
My favorite memory from seeing Underoath was on that Mayhem tour in 08. They tried talking about Jesus on stage and everyone chanted "666!" until they stopped preaching and started playing. Love Underoath, but that was awesome.
+FBC152 What a rude thing to do. If the band wants to talk, let them.
This made me happy!
saw these guys at self help, their set was sick!
stoked!
their performance at self help was fucking awesome.
OMG I love them!!
Dude Aaron looks like Val Kilmer lol
Jacob Nathan LMFAO
PLEASE make new music!
the words I wanted to hear
ASDFGHJKL THEY'RE BACK!!!!!!
next time give the other person a microphone. Aaron keeps wanting to talk but has to rely on you to let him use the microphone, just give him one?? lol
beautiful
It's always only Spencer and Aaron. I love. them but yeah...😖
"It was bananas, dude."
Aaron goes for a Josh Homme look, cool!
I'm confused. In the punkvideosrock interview Tim and James said no full throttle. but Spencer said it would be stupid not to come back..
Thank god spencer finally got rid of those hideous dreads.
+jman “devilwithoutacause” jones idk i kinda liked it lol
+Brevity Gaming to each their own
+Brevity Gaming me too. at least when they were long. at warped 09 he looked so sick.
+jman jones “devilwithoutacause” they were dope, and I hate dreads
+jman ”devilwithoutacause” jones Dreads are beautiful. That's all I've got to say.
Asks if they played warped tour, then says how he saw them on warped tour
Yeah
Spencer looked like a 15 year old girl when I first got into UØ way back in 2004
ok.. atreyu back, FATA back, haste the day back, underoath back.. only one is left for me b4 i 'go'. Misfits which is NOT fuckin happen
+azim DUSTY be happy cuz Misfits is also back ;)
+Marsh DTK yeah! finally!
So sick. never saw this coming
So where is Jesus at in the picture
Aaron jajaaaa
So does this mean aaron wont be touring with paramore anymore??
I hope not! I love his drums on paramore
Letícia Esteves same here, he's sick on the drums!
They better not be like Alexisonfire and announce they are back and then rescind it the next morning haha
aaron kinda sounds & looks like matt damon lol
so faaaattttt))))
Александр Меньшиков who carrrres???
Александр Меньшиков no way not even u obviously do not know what fat is
are they back together?
Yes .
I listen to you because I like the message you brought forth in regards to Jesus Christ but no more what happened did you lose your first love for Jesus I hope and pray that you come back to Jesus Christ and that you play your music for him and him only we as listeners get to benefit off of that
he sounds like gerard way wtf
Gerard's voice is more monotone
Leave it to God keep playing Jesus music more will come
Aaron got tubby haha
+Adam Montoya haha, being on tour you can't eat healthy. makes sense! LOL
I grew up listening to underoath they were my favorite band and the best in that genre at that time. I must say I'm truly disappointed in them and seeing how fake they are and how they are full of shit in every interview. Just be true to your fans and true to yourselves. They deny ever being a "Christian" band yet Aaron wrote two worship albums and have several "testimonials" that were broadcasted on the Christian TV network called TBN I also recall them ALWAYS at some point during their set attempting to shove God down the crowds throat? What I really don't understand is if it was all for a show only to be signed and make money from solidstate? Maybe at that time solid state was paying the best IDK regardless there were plenty of better labels they could have switched to if they wasn't a "Christian"band to start. In fact if anything they probably had less fans due to the fact they were always talking about "GOD" IDK regardless you guys are fake and I don't beileve anything you guys say your new music is terrible and I doubt you will remain a band for very long it's probably just to make a quick buck then go back to writing worship music since it's not trendy for you guys to be a "Christian" screamo band anymore. Lmao fake ass dudes.
I just don't even believe their story tho haha whatever.
I Dont like aron
The undercut thing is a common hair style now, but the blond guy looks like Scott from Pentatonix
he's a ginger
+NeverTheFaithlessOne He's redheaded
