If your vocals can be heard without a mic the rest of your band is fucking up.

Oh sure this guy gets brownie points for knowing about emo bands and shit
*knocks over chair*
GOD
*walks out angrily*
whaaat, getting browniez for knowledge about emo and such when I've never even been to one screamo show at someone's house in Grand Rapids MA where the whole band had their backs to the audience all night and I was the oldest most awkward dude there. I'm so envious of all you people in America that can do that. All I have are those Lord Snow Funeral Diner Cobra Kai Ampere iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook records, it's all I have!!
casecandy wrote:frodog wrote:It's funny that Jeromes Dream is mentioned in the first post of this thread, because I love that band and type of screaming/yelping. Another band with that style of vocals is/was The Spirit of Versailles, and more recently The Truth About Dreaming. I like playing that stuff for my friends and see how much they hate it/think it's ridiculous. It just sounds real and gloriously unhinged to my ears, and it's like the opposite of tough-guy hardcore vocals. Not that I necessarily dislike that, but I generally don't like vocals that sound too macho.
Don't misunderstand me; screamo (or whatever you care to call it) is my favourite genre of music, and I agree with everything you just said, in principle. Just not the specific examples. I love, say, Funeral Diner and Ampere, the American, mid-2000s stuff, and "gloriously unhinged" is a great description. But the dude from Jeromes Dream was an idiot, screaming without a mic. He literally destroyed his voice just to have some indie cred, like, "Singing without a mic. Bruh. Sounded like shit but #Respect." According to SPACERITUAL he now runs an awful streetware company. I just don't know...
Whoa, I have to try to find that brand of clothing. Hope they got a shirt with a guy w/ bowlcut puking blood on a microphone. I remember reading that somewhere and how that's why the later JD material has him using a talkbox, which I definitely don't like. Yeah, it's rough to scream like that too much, and probably a bit stupid. But on record (not that I actually own any Jeromes Dream on vinyl) it sounds cool. He's not my favorite vocalist in that genre, and The Spirit of Versailles were maybe better/more creative... but I appreciate almost all of that shit. It's like how some people from other countries see old Norwegian black metal bands maybe, totally mysterious and raw as hell, recorded under terrible circumstances in a cold basement.

I know about them I just never liked them.
Totally down with facing away from the audience, not playing on stages, and burying vocals in the mix completely. What I'm playing and singing about isn't for FALSES to know about.

Amen! I saw them live. Okay, I saw their 2003 lineup live, two original members. But one of them was John Helliwell, so who gives a fuck? And yes, he signed a setlist for me and yes, I am proud of that setlist. Very proud indeed.
