About Me

COPY THE CODE BELOW
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 album entitled Bleed Me Blue (EP). The album 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".

Lungs
Self Released EP
5 out of 5 stars
Just when you thought York, PA had nothing else to offer after bringing us rock superstars Live, we get a smash EP from this rising rock act. Destined to follow in Live's footsteps they've already become a local favorite but now are seeking out other areas and fans. The six song CD which is currently available on their website is riveting, fun, and jam packed with charisma and creativity. Plentiful percussion in a simplistic fashion is the back drop for some gigantic guitar work and boisterous vocals on "Losing Me". "Where Love Should Lie" is lyrically genius and has music support so phenomenal it only adds to the attraction value. While were talking about great music, a life altering "Bring Me You" is destined to gain some serious radio airplay. Heart felt lyrics; exceptional guitar work, some booming bass lines and genuine and simplistic percussion work make this cut a hit. This band maybe underwater now, but they are about to catch fire and sweep the nation.
