Underoath premieres new video

Currently in the midst of their fourth international tour since last fall, UNDEROATH have announced the MySpace global premiere of the video for “Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear,” the compelling new single off their acclaimed fourth studio album LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION (Tooth & Nail/Solid State). The group’s most accessible single to date, “Too Bright To See, Too Loud To Hear” will hit Alternative and Rock radio in early June.

For the striking clip, UNDEROATH re-teamed with the Swedish production team Popcore Films--with whom the band received a Grammy nomination for “Best Short Form Video” for the song “Writing on the Walls.”

The clip, which has now logged over 100,000 views in the first 24 hours; is receiving major MySpace placement across the globe including Sweden, Brazil, Russia, India, Australia, New Zealand and the U.K.

“We knew we wanted to do something unique because we’ve never had a song like this before,“ explains MCTAGUE of the muted track with electronic touches. “We talked to our good friends from Sweden and decided to try something new. This is our fifth video with Popcore, so we felt confident in our communication, and direction; they couldn't have done a better job in our opinion."

After a fall U.S. headlining tour last fall which averaged an over 90% sell-out rate, UNDEROATH have wrapped hugely successful sold-out shows in over ten countries around the globe -- U.S., U.K., Mexico, Canada, Italy, Germany, South Africa, France, Belgium, and Sweden — and performed their first-ever tours of South and Central America; they also had headlining spots on the Soundwave (Australia) and Give It A Name (Europe) festivals this spring.

In June, UNDEROATH will perform all summer long on the main stage of the Vans Warped Tour. The 2009 trek marks the group’s sixth outing on the annual punk rock extravaganza and their fourth run as a headlining act on the tour which celebrates its 15th anniversary this summer. The 46-date trek commences June 26 in Pomona, CA and finishes August 23 in Carson, CA (see the full list of tour dates, cities and venues below).

UNDEROATH--whose last three albums count 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. 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 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.
