As UNDEROATH prepare for the June 20 release of “Define the Great Line”, the band is finding new and exciting ways to connect with their fans. As part of an exclusive cross-platform launch with MTV2 that includes MTV.com, MTV Overdrive, MTV Urge as well as MTV Mobile phone content, MTV2’s “The Leak” is now streaming the entire album at this location. The surrealistic video for “Writing On The Walls”–the band’s first single, arriving at Modern Rock and Active Rock radio on June 27–can also now be viewed online at this location.

The videohelmed by Popcore Films–has debuted via an all-day premiere on MTV2’s “Unleashed” and was added to Fuse as well.

In other TV news, UNDEROATH are the special guests for MTV2’s “T-Minus Rock” show airing all this week. Meanwhile, look for UNDEROATH to host MTV2’s “Headbangers Ball,” airing Saturday, June 17. The band will also guest host the official Vans Warped Tour kick-off episode on Fuse TV’s “Steven’s Untitled Rock Show” airing June 14th. Fans can also tune in to Fuse to catch the band’s special half-hour documentary titled “Making Of Define The Great Line,” beginning next week and airing five times during the week of June 19.

Meanwhile, Hot Topic has come on board with UNDEROATH after a successful chain-wide (675 stores in all 50 states) listening party last week that marked the first such event in the chain’s history. As part of the band’s partnership with Hot Topic, they’ll participate in a June 20th in-store signing in their hometown of Tampa, FL while in the midst of their summer trek as a headlining main stage act on the Vans Warped Tour from June 15-August 13. The Hot Topic affiliation also encompasses storewide programs such as chain-wide mallway signage, listening stations and front of store displays.

Crafted with the help of Atlanta-based producer/drummer Matt Goldman–who helped pour the rhythmic foundation–and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, the genre-defying “Define the Great Line” is a mind-blowing and cohesive album. While marking an artistically dark turn for the band, it remains undeniably accessible. “Define the Great Line” marks the follow-up to their 350,000-selling indie smash They’re Only Chasing Safety, which has been on the Billboard new artist chart for 104 weeksno other rock record currently on this chart has had a longer run than this.
