Underoath Are Not Breaking Up
According to a post on Alternative Press, Underoath are not breaking up despite recent rumors. You can read the post below.
Ever since Florida-based post-hardcore sextet Underoath dropped off Warped Tour earlier this summer citing needing “immediate time to focus on our friendship,” rumors have flown that certain band members will be leaving the band, or that the band might actually even be breaking up. AP is incredibly happy to tell you that neither of those two scenarios are the case: The band are back at full speed, according to their manager, Randy Nichols, who wrote us earlier tonight.
“I thought you might be curious to know that Underoath did not break up [and] no one has quit or left the band,” says Nichols. “[They] are about to get back on the road again and do all their touring for the year, and next year, too.”
In the immediate future, this means the band’s Canadian tour with Silverstein and Moneen is still on, as well as their slot on this fall’s Taste Of Chaos International tour alongside Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Anti-Flag and others. No touring plans for 2007 have been announced yet, but when they are, we’ll bring them to you.

Over It – Step Outside Yourself
Artist: Over It
Album: Step Outside Yourself
Label: Virgin Records
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: August 29, 2006
Overall: 9.1
Music: 8.5
Lyrics: 9.0
Production: 9.5
Over It is a band that many people have either heard about or listened to in the past few years. Now with their first major label release just about everyone will hear about them. Over Itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s musical style has progressed every album starting from the fast paced â┚¬Ã…”Timing Is Everythingâ┚¬? to the last album â┚¬Ã…”Silverstrandâ┚¬?, which is more of a pop punk genre of music. Now the band has taken a whole new approach of their style on this album. They have taken their sound up to the next level. I will honestly say that this album is very main stream in every way possible. The songs are catchy with melodies that will get you hooked. The best part of the album is its production, with the soaring vocals, hard hitting drums, and loud bass.
â┚¬Ã…”Step Outside Yourselfâ┚¬? opens up with a very rock styled song called â┚¬Ã…”Think Against the Grainâ┚¬?. This song is probably my favorite song on the album, and reminds me of a mix between Donâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t Look Down and Over It. The band also re-recorded the single from their last album â┚¬Ã…”Siren On the 101â┚¬?, which sounds much better now than the original. The vocal ranges are much better and the production as whole just makes the song even more enjoyable than before. Then there are the songs on the album that have guest vocals, â┚¬Ã…”Dishonor and Disorderâ┚¬? featuring Mike Herrera of MXPX and â┚¬Ã…”The Energyâ┚¬? featuring Sean Mackin of Yellowcard. â┚¬Ã…”Dishonor and Disorderâ┚¬? sounds more like a pop punk song and â┚¬Ã…”The Energyâ┚¬? sounds more like a ballad song. The album has the perfect mix of songs. There are the more rocklike songs like â┚¬Ã…”Think Against the Grainâ┚¬?, â┚¬Ã…”Your Songâ┚¬?, and â┚¬Ã…”Come Out with Your Hands Upâ┚¬?. Then there are some tracks that give Over It a whole new sound like â┚¬Ã…”Too Much Informationâ┚¬?, â┚¬Ã…”The Energyâ┚¬?, â┚¬Ã…”Mister Seriousâ┚¬?, and â┚¬Ã…”Feels Like Affectionâ┚¬?. The album also has the perfect closing track â┚¬Ã…”Like Satellitesâ┚¬?, it is a catchy closing track with some acoustic guitar in it and it definitely has a different sound for the band. Overall this album is amazing. With one listen you like this instantly, but with a few more listens you love it. It has really grown on me, and I think it will do the same to everyone else who comes across it. Over It has really stepped it up for their first major label debut with an amazingly produced album and well written lyrics for everyone to enjoy.
