Underoath

Underoath singer Spencer Chamberlain offers up his playlist to us in this exclusive feature…

A Taste:

Deftones, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails

Underoath are one of hard rock’s simultaneously most ambient and brutal acts. So it’s no surprise that Underoath vocalist Spencer Chamberlain’s playlist has a healthy dose of Radiohead tempered by some good old fashioned sonic anger. Underoath’s latest album, Lost In the Sound of Separation, bridges the gap between Phil Anselmo and Thom Yorke in the most beautiful way possible. Plus, the band’s gearing up for a headlining slot on the 2009 installment of the Warped Tour this summer.

In between everything, Spencer found the time to share his playlist with us. He opened up his iTunes and let us see what he’s spinning.
