Spencer will be filling in for Taking Back Sunday lead singer Adam Lazzara for an indefinite amount of upcoming tour dates starting with the Melbourne, FL show TONIGHT, Friday, October 25th.
This comes after Adam Lazzara had to leave the tour on Sunday when his wife unexpectedly had an early delivery of their second son. After cancelling a few tour dates, the band has decided to continue the tour with Spencer Chamberlain until Adam can rejoin.
Spencer Chamberlain, a long-time friend of Adam, has willingly stepped up to fill in and give the new father more time to stay in the hospital with his family. Spencer was the frontman of Underoath for 10 years and is currently working on a new project called Sleepwave. The band is excited to have him and look forward to Spencer and John trading lead and backing vocals at the upcoming shows. First up will be the Free FIT Homecoming show this Friday in Spencer’s home state of Florida. You can find more information on Sleepwave at sleepwavemusic.com.
It is unknown when Adam will return to the tour, but he is so thankful to Spencer and whole-heartedly thanks everyone for all of the support and kind words the family has received.

Tooth & Nail Records became the most controversial record label of the ‘90s. In early 1993, after watching a handful of hardcore bands in Southern California, Brandon Ebel, son of a preacher from a small town in Oregon, saw something special. He took a loan from his grandfather, and with a little cash and even less industry experience, he launched one of the most influential independent labels in the last twenty years.
From its start, the label seemed destined to fail. Ebel lived on five dollars a day, but his relentless belief in the music inspired him to transform Tooth & Nail from an insignificant startup to a label selling over 20,000,000 records and breaking bands like MxPx, Underoath, August Burns Red, and Anberlin. No New Kinda Story is a no-holds-barred, behind the scene look at the rise, fall, and rebirth of the iconic label.

The mighty Underoath have come and gone. When they were active, they were regarded as a dominating force in the Christian metal/secular world. A lot of bands nowadays should be paying royalties to them. While originally starting off as a generic, preachy, (it would make For Today look tame) black metal band, the arrival of Spencer Chamberlain changed the band’s sound for the better.
I’ll admit it was a bit hard compiling their best songs, considering their extensive catalog. comment with any songs you’re surprised aren’t on the list.
10. When The Sun Sleeps (The Changing of Times - 2002)
The only album with Dallas Taylor on vocals that I can really handle. The video is actually good for being their first one ever.
9. Emergency Broadcast: The End Is Near (Lost in the Sound of Separation - 2008)
Heavy, but slower than their normal songs. Fun fact, Aaron double tracked this on the drums with Daniel Davison who would later end up replacing him
8. In Regards to Myself (Define the Great Line - 2008)
When you hear cinema projector and the opening riff of this song, you know you’re about to hear something great.
7. Unsound (Anthology 1999-2013)
Before they broke up; Underoath went back in the studio and recorded two new songs for their greatest hits CD. Spencer sounds a lot like Anthony Green in this song (albeit a bit lower pitched) particularly Circa Surive’s song Through The Desert Alone.
6. The Only Survivor Was Miraculously Unharmed (Lost in the Sound of Separation - 2008)
Starts off intense and doesn’t stop.
5. A Boy Brushed Red… Living in Black and White (They’re Only Chasing Safety - 2004)
The 2nd track on their debut with Spencer Chamberlain. He would later change his vocal style on the next record.
4. Paper Lung (Ø (disambiguation - 2010)
One of the few songs besides “Too Bright to See, Too Loud to Hear” that features singing for a majority of the song. Only this time, Spencer is doing double duty after the departure of Aaron.
3. Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (Lost in the Sound of Separation - 2008)
This a great song to see live (on Youtube now anyway).
2. Writing On The Walls (Define the Great Line - 2008)
DTGL would be a turning point for the band; the record debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200
1. It’s Dangerous Business Walking Out Your Front Door (They’re Only Chasing Safety - 2004)
The song that got me hooked on Underoath. It sounded different from anything I heard at the time.
