Editor's note

Aaron Gillespie, from Underoath drums to solo honesty

The drummer-turned-frontman writes songs that feel personal without turning into sermons.

For his acoustic side, try Washed Away. If you want some of that post-hardcore energy he brought to earlier bands, Emergency Broadcast, The End Is Near still carries it.

He started as Underoath's drummer on albums like They're Only Chasing Safety, then formed The Almost where he wrote songs like Some Will Seek Forgiveness, Others Escape. His solo work includes Washed Away and Call Me Back When I'm Honest, where he's been open about dealing with thyroid cancer and depression. That directness gives his music a lived-in quality that doesn't need to shout.

He played drums for Underoath in the late 1990s before leaving in 2006 to form The Almost, releasing Southern Weather the next year. His solo albums began with 2011's Anthem Song and continued with records like Grace Through the Ground and Out of the Badlands.
