Monster Monster is The Almost’s sophomore album, the follow-up to 2007’s Southern Weather, which scored a top ten Modern
Rock single in “Say This Sooner,” a slot on MTV’s prestigious Discover & Download program and a
quarter-million in sales after debuting in the Top 40 on the Billboard Top 200 with 29k+.
Formed by Underoath drummer Aaron Gillespie along with guitarists Jay Vilardi and Dusty Redmon, bassist Alex Aponte and newest
member, drummer Joe Musten, The Almost’s Monster Monster represents the culmination of two years of touring, with the resulting
disc a melding of the group’s individual talents into a truly collaborative effort. Gillespie, who originally started the band as a side
project and played all the instruments on The Almost’s first album, is thrilled the way the group began to mesh on Monster Monster,
and the band itself is raring to go out and play the new songs for their rabid, loyal fan base. “This now feels like a real band,” he
says. “Everyone gave up a piece of his own agenda for the good of the final result. And that’s how you end up with something special.
They supplied the bricks and we built this house together.”
Before the release, The Almost will release a new video to fans, which will be followed by their lead anthemic rock single “Hands.”
