New Album from The Almost

The Almost will release their debut album "Southern Weather" on April 3 through a joint venture with Tooth & Nail and Virgin Records.

The group, the brainchild of Underoath drummer/vocalist Aaron Gillespie, has announced West Coast dates with Say Anything and Saves The Day as well as an East Coast trek with Paramore and This Providence. The West Coast run will hit Los Angeles for three consecutive shows: April 12 and 13 at the House of Blues and a second performance April 13 at the Vans Warped Tour Kick-Off Party with K-Os, Meg & Dia, The Briggs, Bleed The Dream and Jimmy Mar.

In late April, The Almost head out on a three-week tour with Paramore and This Providence, with a stop May 2 in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom, just prior to the band’s May 5 Bamboozle Festival performance at New Jersey’s Meadowlands.

In other news, The Almost’s debut video for their first single “Say This Sooner” has been received with tremendous support from the video outlets. MTV2 launched the video on Monday, March 19 through the channel’s premiere platform “Unleashed,” with the video airing every hour on the hour. The video was also added to MTV2 this week and is in current rotation on FUSE, Music Choice and The IMF!

In addition, music from Southern Weather will be featured on MTV2’s “The Drop” on Saturday, April 14, holding the band in the company of past “The Drop” artists Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte. Meanwhile, this week, The Almost has streamed their new Southern Weather album in its entirety for fans on their MySpace page.
