"If I was 15 right now, I wouldn't want to do
this."

That's what Spencer Chamberlain from Underoath said after 25
years in the music industry - and he meant it. In this Underoath
interview, Spencer Chamberlain and Aaron Gillespie open up about
why being a musician in 2026 feels like an uphill battle. This
isn't a promotional interview—it's a brutally honest conversation
about what being a professional musician really means in 2026.

After 25 years, 10 studio albums, and a legacy that defined a
genre, the duo sits down to discuss what the music industry
REALLY looks like today. We dive into the AI revolution, the myth
of TikTok fame, and why most of the European crowds have never
heard of them.
