bradm Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) Today's question is a musical one: which small or local bands (as opposed to national touring big-name acts) do you like for the quality of the vocals they have? (While singer-songwriters are OK here, I'm more interested in bands with a full range of qualities, like drumming, guitar playing, bass playing, etc.)My list would include Grand Theft Bus (esp. Graeme Walker's singing, as in "OMA"), LURE (great harmonies), and Bullmoose (for a more hard-rock belting-it-out sound). What are yours?Aloha,Brad Edited November 6, 2007 by Guest De-slashed for bouche's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Mick Jackson(drums/vocals) from The Frontier Index...drumming and singing simultaneously impresses me. the Index ceases to exist, but watch for Mick's new project with the other Indices John and Matt as well as Scott from controller.controller - the band is tentatively called Medallions.
