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. Before the street date, The Almost released a new video for "Lonely Wheel" to fans, which will be followed by their lead anthemic rock single "Hands." - more on this story
