Hailing from York, Pennsylvania, The Underwater have been on a quick rise since their inception in late 2001. After a successful tour in 2002 with hardcore legends ZAO, Unearth, Underoath, and Dead Poetic the band entered the studio to record their debut EP entitled ‘Bleed Me Blue’. The EP was released nationally on Tribunal Records in early 2003, and then was later released in Europe on Lifeforce/Impression music in the late summer of 2003. In less than a year’s time the release had sold in excess of 6,000 copies, giving The Underwater the opportunity to land supporting gigs with Nickelback, Supergrass, Seether, and The Fire Theft to name a few. The band completed several European headlining tours, during which they received massive support from fans as well as the media. The single ‘To Find You’ received heavy rotation on many European radio stations, and even charted top 25 on stations in Switzerland and Austria. In 2004 the band had a chance to work with famed producer David Bendeth (Hawthorne Heights, ImaRobot, Breaking Benjamin). During that session they managed to finish the tracks ‘Fallen One’ and ‘Everyone’ with the latter being used as opening track in the upcoming film ‘Push’. 2005 was the year that the band found themselves free from contractual obligations thus they released their second EP in 2 years entitled ‘Lungs’. |
