We are a band out of Texas City, Texas that has been having numerous troubles within this industry trying to get our name around and about. We have been in the scene for 13 years straight and still not really any bites from any labels or even indies Mainly because lack of funding, and member changes throughout the years. Our main focus over the last 3 years was to look for backing on the last 5 albums we never released from the past via bad recording levels and engineers (Revolving Around the Mannequins at a 45 Degree Angle = "95"/ New Comers to American Life = "97").we even have one that we haven't gotten into the studio with because prior to the "newest members" we had a falling out and 13 songs from (Evolve Devolve Revolve = "98" were never recorded, but are already completed musically and lyrically. Now we are finished with the recording and mastering of our 5th albulm *Seven Years Bad Luck = "1999+2000") at SugarHill Studios in Houston, which we had the chance to actually work with some very interesting individuals like Dan Workman and Steve Christiansen. Engineer Steve Christensen twice had previously worked with "Destiny's Child" both platinum, also worked as their sound engineer for the "Deva Tour" throughout America and engineered the MTV music awards for them as well. Master Mixer and Co-Producer Dan Workman has worked with several big names and local bands, just to name a few there's Smash Mouth, 30 Foot Fall, Suspects, I-45, Dinosaur Salad, Secret Agent 8.
Well people, we tried it thrice again. If you haven't already guessed we've broken up more times than we've recorded CD's! First in 2003, we formed again with Chris Allgood-Lead Vox and 1st Guitar, Chris Harvey-Drummer, Willialm McLarren-Bass and Backup Vox, and newest addition Clint Phillips-2nd Guitar. We played all over constantly, wrote 12 new songs and didn't get to record them anywhere, then broke up in mid 2004. About a month later we reformed with 2 members from the 4th and 5th albums, Chris Perez-Bass and Backup Vox, and Brian Green-1st Guitar and Backup Vox. Needless to say again split after one show together and only three songs written. Three weeks later we reformed, but this time, with the original three members Allgood, Harvey, and McLarren. Keeping the new 12 songs previously wrote by these members as well as 6 newer ones. UnderSole was recording the 6th album and playing shows with over 30 song set lists, from old school to new school UnderSole hits. Again we hit a few bumps in the road, broke up for awhile, and eventually found some more artists that wanted to give it another go around. Needless to say, Perez and Brian wanted to try again, but this time we were all gonna try something new......"Don't get me wrong, we like playing our 3 hour shows, but we think the crowd needs to hear a diversity amongst all the bands we play with, not just us the whole time."Besides, we're not robots, and there are limits to ones vocal chords and muscles!"
Chris Allgood and Brian Green are now in the process of writing and recording the newest album "You Can't Get There From Here". As soon as we get a few songs finalized we will put them up for ya'll to hear!!!!

Oh, I still play and will always be a drummer.. but I didn't walk away from the line up I was in because I wanted to jam with anyone else. Not to get into that long story, but it's break time for me at any rate. Thx for the complement though, and best of luck to you guys.
camera phone, not a good pic, but just thought I would post. great show, like always. One song i was hoping to hear "all this time you tried to be cool, dyed your hair, and dropped out of school. spikes and chains..to cover up your past. Now , I should be the one to beat your fucking ass! cause you, will die! By my hand, you will die!" haha -LATE
