The Almost is an Alternative-Rock project featuring former UnderOATH
drummer Aaron Gillespie, formed in Salt Lake City, Utah USA, along with
notables Jeremy Enigk of Sunny
Day Real Estate and Kenny Vasoli of The
Starting Line.
The debut full-length disc from The Almost, "Southern Weather",
was recorded in early 2006 and released in April 2007 on Tooth & Nail.
Gillespie played every instrument on the album, except bass on a couple
of songs.
In advance of an early 2007 tour to test The Almost record on the road
with his band, built from a line-up of Jay Vilardi on guitar, Alex Aponte
on bass, Kenny Bozich on drums and himself, Gillespie was worried about
how he'd be received, despite the fact most of the gigs were sell-outs
and they all went off with out a hitch.
"Southern Weather" eventually hit #1 on the U.S. Top Christian
Albums chart and climbed into the top 40 of The Billboard 200 on the strength
of the Hot Modern Rock top 10 hit "Say This Sooner".
