The Goodwill Parts Ways With Vocalist

[Jared Kaufman]

The Goodwill (http://www.myspace.com/thegoodwill) have parted ways with their singer. Read their letter below:

Hey everyone, Travis from The Goodwill here. I just wanted to let everyone know that we have decided to part ways with vocalist Brian Barbuto. This decision did not come easy but we knew it was the right decision to make. There are incredible 'things' just around the corner for The Goodwill. We are extremely excited to share this with all of you when that time comes. So until then, thanks again to everyone who has been sharing this incredible journey with us; but keep in mind that you haven't seen a damn thing just yet! We are in fact in search of a lead vocalist/frontman. If you think you have what it takes, please read below and email us at: SingForTheGoodwill@hotmail.com. Thank you again!

Requirements:
*We are not just looking for someone who can sing. We are looking for a
frontman. We are looking for someone who can use more than just their voice to lead
this band. A confident look and onstage demeanor is a must!
*Living in or near to Long Island, NY is a plus.
*MUST be able to do the band full-time (tour 8-10 months out of the year).
*Experience as a lead vocalist is a plus.
*Playing an additional instrument is a plus.
*Experience on the road/touring is a plus.

im just curious of how there are "incredible things" around the corner for them when they dont have a singer??

[Caleb Cattivera]

wow about time. i saw these guys with the juliana theory...music was great, but that vocalist just wasnt cutting it.

[YouMadeTheScene]

scumbags

[danielj135]

yeah i saw them with the juliana theory too and thought their music was good but the vocalist didnt quite match the rest of the band.

[earlynovemberX]

not gonna lie, but that was a real stupid move on their part. that guy was the man. and btw did anyone else think their first cd was soooo much better than the second one? oh well.

[MoneyMaker]

so are they not going on the panic divsion/race the sun tour?

[tommyhaych]

I like these from what I've heard on my mp3 player. They remind me cauterize. Probably not now since the singers gone.

[I.O]

sucks, only time i saw them was bamboozle

[scottwouldkill]

so are they not going on the panic divsion/race the sun tour?
no, i just spoke with the person booking, the goodwill has dropped. they are looking for a replacement though.

i won't lie, i was looking forward to the goodwill, however, the panic division and race the sun make this worth the while!

'05 has been such a rediculous year for band/member breakups.
Everytime I turn around I'm hearing about another band "parting ways"

I liked the first CD better

[ansonyuhas]

i saw the play a show here in provo like 2 months ago. I love their first cd and havent really been able to get into the newer one. Anyway, at the show I was dissapointed to find out that the no longer even play anything off the first album. A big problem with the newer cd was the lead vocals. I always felt they were drowned out and didn't add anything to the music. So hopefully this departing means good thigns for the band.

[MalevolentHoff]

I liked the first CD better
Definitely. They haven't been the same since Dan (guitarist) left the band. Brian never looked like he was into the music and wouldn't talk to fans. He was major sketch.

[AUGUSTinBETHANY]

Loved there old cd, not a fan of there new one.. but i loved his voice.. I wonder what really happend, they never give up the good details, but just say this and that..

psshhh..

That sounds like they were being persued by a major, and they didnt like the vocalist so they scratched him.

but thats just my point of view

[carebeth]

brian is definitely not a sketch... he's one of the nicest people i've ever met..

[mexicanjesus]

Ahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha
Oh Man It's About God Damn Time, I've Been Saying They Needed To Dump Barbuto Since Like 2002 When I Heard Their First Demos. My God He Sucks, They Are Gonna Be So Much Better Off Wthout Him, It's Even Funnier Cause My Friend Went To Holy Trinity With Barbuto And When I Heard That First Demo I Told Him Man They Need To Get Rid Of Him. As Soon As I Read This Post I Said I Told You So, And You Know What His Rely Was? "you Certainly Did"

someone close to the band told me there are a ton of stuff going on with them like that but only a few people know about it, and it was all done for a reason...

Hey dudes in the Goodwill,

I can do an even better Daryl Palumbo impression. Do it up! -- brian@punknews.org . Seriously.
