best clean vocalist

[king gabriel]

i've been thinking.
who do you guys think is the best clean vocalist among all the bands today ( post hardcore, screamo, metalcore etc. ) ?

[bard]

i'm confused. you're asking for 'best clean vocalist' then you list 'post hardcore, screamo, metalcore'?

what are you asking?

[king gabriel]

I could tell by your username that this is who you were going to say.

[bard]

i can never tell when you're being serious.

so i just laugh at things thinking you're being sarcastic.

[coveryoureyes]

okay so it's, best clean vocalist in a harder band, or best clean vocalist/screamer?

P.s, this is retarded.

[circasuicide]

i am a fan. i'm from hillsboro, oh. originally. small world.

[honestIpod]

Jonny Craig?

Oh snap. Yeah Circa Survive is goooood. I, like all other angsty teenagers, hate where I live. Thus, Ohio can go die.

[Deadbolt23]

Jonny Craig?

I don't really rate him to be honest.

[circasuicide]

Oh snap. Yeah Circa Survive is goooood. I, like all other angsty teenagers, hate where I live. Thus, Ohio can go die.

i got out at 18. unfortunately, i moved to missouri for college and have stuck around. it's like ohio but with religious fanatics. what other bands are you into? i went to laurel oaks vocational school in wilmington my last two years in high school.

[king gabriel]

Jonny Craig?


overrated
thats what I think

[Jasper112]

I love the singer from Yesterday's Rising. Don't know if they are still around these days.

Dude, I just had to go to a presentation for Laurel Oaks yesterday. And I'm really into Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Radiohead, and others like them. Its funny though, because when I tell people my current favorite bands, I realize that there's a complete animal theme (excluding Radiohead). What about you?

[IWasaCamera]

i can never tell when you're being serious.

so i just laugh at things thinking you're being sarcastic.
I'm being entirely frank. Dreadful scene bands boast THE BEST VOCALISTS IN THE WORLD. THE BEST. Zazu. Entirely frank.

I remember when I was 15 too.

[awakeohsleeper]

So these people always shower right?

Edit: someone beat me to it. I'll go cry in a corner now.

if you have any interest in maching/welding, mr. phelts is a really great teacher. oaks is way easier than regular high school. more freedom.

Ill just have to wait and see what happens. It seems like that would be the best thing to do, but i dont want to leave all my really good friends, especially since leaving them would have been my choice. But idk, maybe ill change my mind.

Slayer -- Reign in Blood

[Shatter_Glass]

Dustin Kensrue; any day of the weeeeeeek. unless you want to argue Dallas Green. Either way, it really just depends. fml, why am i in this thread.....

[chassmariee]

Jonny Craig?
I agree. But I also think Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil. Fuckit though their all in Isles and Glaciers.

as dumb as this thread is I'd say

cody or tj from as cities burn
johnny craig
dallas green
aaron gillespie
alex from therefore I am
geoff from thursday
brennan from oceana
and anthony green if he qualifies

[saveferris]

I always thought the guy from A Skylit Drive was a good singer.

[themodernelite]

absolutely jonny craig. and also danny rinaldi (ex-bedlight for blue eyes, currently fronting lannen fall while jay's on voice rest).

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

Dallas Green and Jonny Craig. Both stand out amongst the sea of bands out there today, and even if you hate Jonny Craig because he's cocky and probably fucked you, there's no denying the guys ability to sing.

[fake empire]

How do so many people have such shitty taste in music?

[only the clouds]

count me in for Dallas Green. Dustin Kensrue's pretty up there too but Dallas's voice is just awesome.

[Formatfun]

okay so it's, best clean vocalist in a harder band, or best clean vocalist/screamer?

P.s, this is retarded.
Or could he mean best vocalist out of all of the ones with good hygiene?

[JustAGirl01]

anthony green.

/thread

[Theseventhson]

The guy from Anal Cunt.

[Rubato]

Dustin Kensrue is very methodical about his hygiene... and he's fairly religious so I'm sure he's not on the smack... so I'd say him.

[briewer]

How 'bout this thread! I'm gonna have it made into a plaque so I can place it on my mantle.

[faithcomplex]

Casey in TREOS, Brennan Taulbee, Schuylar Croom, and the new dude's voice from Memphis May Fire is pretty Cliche for the genre but he is fucking good at what he does.

[Kika808]

I love the singer from Yesterday's Rising. Don't know if they are still around these days.

brandon bolmer is one of the most solid singers ive seen live. they are still straggling around in orange county playing shows here and there :D

I would have agreed with you on Schuylar if it wasn't for his live singing. He is so amazing creative melody and lyric wise, and the way he uses his voice, but live he just dont cut it. His stage presence is fucking amazing, but u gotta admit that he has trouble hitting the high notes and gets raspy really quick.

[PoweredbyPJ]

Anthony Green
Jonny Craig

[Illadelphia]

Jonny Craig is pretty good, I don't like all of their stuff, but the clean vocalist from We Are the Ocean is amazing

yeah I agree with you about his live stuff. I have seen a few videos of songs he owns on but when I saw him live for myself he seemed to be straining a bunch. I'm pretty upset they broke up, I thought It Hates You was genius. I wonder how he is holding up with Maylene, I thought that new album was shit.

He does have an awesome voice!!! He can reach those high notes! Nice to know someone agrees. Brandon Rocks!!!

Others I would mention are Christian Guerrero and Daniel Rinaldi who are both ex singers for Bedlight For BlueEyes. Christian had this amazing voice and when he left I didn't think they'd get someone as good as him, or even come close to him, but I was wrong. Daniel had a higher range and his voice, though not distinctive, was soothing and nice to hear. Sucks this band is no longer active. Great band.

Travis Weber from Crash Romeo has some nice clean vocals as well.

Notable mentions:

Aled Phillips - Kids In Glass Houses
Aaron Marsh - Copeland
Paul McGuire - Karate High School
Kyle Pavone - We Came As Romans
Kyle Tamosaitis - Burden Of A Day

dude, vinh LOVES alexisonfire. he saw that his beloved nick drake influenced city & colour so he gave his other band a listen and was instantly hooked.

[jake_rm]

That dude from Attack Attack has an amazing singing voice, he holds notes sooo well. I almost think he sounds like a keyboard sometimes...

[aradiantsunrise]

I'd list too many of them.

[DanPiazza]

gonna go with dallas. listen to crsis.

[IWasaCamera]

dude, vinh LOVES alexisonfire. he saw that his beloved nick drake influenced city & colour so he gave his other band a listen and was instantly hooked.
Correction (in Rafiki's voice): Dallas Green's seminal work had a significant bearing on Western art as a whole, especially on Drake despite the anachronism. In fact, it struck Nick with such intensity that he was driven to anti-depressants which eventually led to his demise. Thankfully though, he left us a chilling ode to Green in Pink Moon before departing. The songwriting process was so exhaustive, so self-actualizing that Drake subsequently and famously stated "time to gtfo" and offed himself unceremoniously.

Okay. Compare Jeremy from ADTR to the singing in TDWP. The last album from TDWP I listened to was "Plagues". If you're gonna compare Jeremy's singing to that, and call it whining, you got some problems. The singing in TDWP and Attack are little bitchy whines. So please don't compare that to ADTR.

This thread is overwhelmingly terrible. The inability to break from the confines of this shitty scene is alarming.

Even the original post, he says AMONG ALL THE BANDS TODAY and then proceeds to name the same shit genre three times in a row. Do you people really think there is any chance in the world that the guy from the Devil Wears Prada or Oceana is the best singer performing today? And Geoff from Thursday? Christ. Have you heard him sing?

This community is so sad. It honestly makes me sad.

[skullface]

I would definitely have to say Dallas Green. You can truly hear it in his live recordings for City and Colour.

The chorus to "A Shot in the Dark" is a complete whine.

[yayitsjoe]

aaron gillespie. or however you spell his name. the guy from underoath. he doesn't have the best voice, but i enjoy it the most.

[pth231]

Dallas Green and Jonny Craig. Both stand out amongst the sea of bands out there today, and even if you hate Jonny Craig because he's cocky and probably fucked you, there's no denying the guys ability to sing.

My thoughts exactly. Dallas and Jonny.

Not that I agree with most of the singers listed. I prefer Dallas Green's voice in C&C, but that's besides the point. :shrug:

[Kika808]

I think Jonny Craig is way overrated. Im not gonna lie, he can hit crazy high notes, but his melodies all sound the same. His solo stuff is pretty boring. That guy definitely has potential, but he needs to switch up the dynamics to his melodies.

In terms of singers, she is pretty bad, she doesn't have proper technique at all, she squeaks notes out, it's just annoying half of the time.

[BadRomance]

In terms of singers, she is pretty bad, she doesn't have proper technique at all, she squeaks notes out, it's just annoying half of the time.
Yes, I do see your point, she does have bad technique at the moment, but in her prime (in the 90s) she was quite skillfull and had great technique.
