The hard-working group toured nationally and internationally while promoting its EPs recorded prior to "Forces," and now The Underwater is focusing on a string of dates before hitting the road for more full-fledged touring. Longtime fans in these areas will be thrilled about the return of The Underwater, a band that truly shines in the live arena.

"With all of the pressure and stress that goes along with being in a band, the live show is the one thing that is still just as exciting and fun to me as it was when I was a little kid in a garage band," said guitarist Matt Holmes. "When I was younger, I remember not being able to sleep before a s***ty little fire hall show because I was so nervous and excited. That's the one part of the day that is my time and no one can take from me, and I hope I never lose that passion to play and perform."
