The Almost have created a Monster!!!

Monster Monster is the five-piece rock group’s sophomore album and is the follow-up to 2007’s Southern Weather (which debuted in the Top 40 on the US albums chart).

Already confirmed to tour Australia in early 2010 as part of the national Soundwave Festival, The Almost have set their sights on replicating their US success in Australia this summer and the 1st single from the album, Hands, will be at radio here on October 12.

But in the meantime check out this video for Lonely Wheel, a track that will also appear on the record.

Formed by Underoath drummer Aaron Gillespie along with guitarists Jay Vilardi and Dusty Redmon, bassist Alex Aponte and newest member, drummer Joe Musten, The Almost’s Monster Monster represents the culmination of two years of touring, with the resulting disc a melding of the group’s individual talents into a truly collaborative effort.
