Aaron Gillespie Prepares For Tour & Solo Album 'Anthem Song'
Aaron Gillespie will release his debut solo album 'Anthem Song' on 8th March 2011. Known as the lead singer and founder of The Almost, as well as being the drummer and co-founder of the popular metalcore band Underoath, Aaron has now recorded his first solo project.
"I just felt so pressed upon to make a worship record that 'the youth' of our culture could relate with", explained Gillespie in a recent interview with All Access. "I felt like it was time to help myself and others like myself enter into worship of our great big God."
Aaron recorded 'Anthem Song' in Seattle with versatile producer Aaron Sprinkle (Jeremy Camp, Kutless). Both multi-instrumentalists, they played nearly everything on the album. Co-writers Paul Baloche, Sarah Hart and Phillip LaRue also helped pen what is largely a very personal record. Supporting the forthcoming record, Gillespie is also touring across the US throughout February and March.
