Underoath are Warped Tour veterans, and this year are playing the main stage. They are touring in support of last year’s Lost In The Sound Of Separation. I sat down with keyboardist Chris Dudley before their set in Charlotte, North Carolina. He fills us in on the tour, Underoath’s timetable for the next CD and several other subjects.
Chad Bowar: You’ve played Warped a lot. How does 2009 compare to your previous experiences?
Chris Dudley: It’s definitely a lot different. We started in 2003, and we’ve been on it every year except 2008 when we did the Mayhem festival. I don’t know if it’s because it’s the first year we’ve come back without being on the year before, but it seems there are a lot of very new bands that are doing really well. There’s a whole explosion of rap with the screaming and dance. It’s weird. I’ve never seen anything like it.
As far as hanging out goes, there’s been a ton. There’s a lot of old friends on the tour that we’re able to hang out with, which is awesome. Bayside, Thrice, Flogging Molly, Bad Religion are friends that are here.
