I saw The Almost last night (with a slew of other bands I’m not really into) as part of their Monster Monster tour. I just have to say that they were amazing. When I was watching those guys on stage, I could tell that they love performing and the presence of God was with them. They played a fair mix of songs from both the Southern Weather and Monster Monster albums.
I got into The Almost when they first formed a couple of years ago. I was a fan of Aaron Gillepse when he played drums and sung the “clean” vocals for Underoath. The Almost started out as a solo project and by the second album they had become a full band. When I heard that Joe Munsen (Advent, Beloved) was playing touring drums for them I was beyond stoked the see them.
After the show, I talked to Joe Munsen a bit and he said he would be returning to The Channel in November or Demember with Advent. So get stoked for that!
