Both of these duties, plus being a dickwad? That's a lot of weight

@abstractpainting guy: lol

here's a novel idea: how about no cleans?

Maybe he should do triple duty and write some riffs

my guess is there is not going to be that many cleans on the album.

He sounded good on Ben Threw

I find it funny that the same thing happened to Attack Attack! and Of Mice & Men with this whole clean vocals issue.

thats why there should be no cleans.

True say, but then again, it's better than nothing; I loves me some cleans.

why do people like this band

you are all children

Austin Carilie: Call of Duty

He did cleans in ben threw, and they weren't bad at all.

I got this dude's name mixed up with the lead singer of Hinder... Now that really would have been some bad news.

^uhh

Shame Shayley left.

He wasn't too bad on Ben Threw, though.

he cant sing live at all

@andcas, yeah I know, its just funny cause Austin used to be in Attack Attack! and now his new band has the same problem they did

Yeah but theres no way hes gonna be able to sing cleans and scream live hes gonna get really winded I'm not so sure this was a good move.

bleh headline

wow, because this is totally news worthy

I know that Austin could be a good clean singer if he tried but he'll never replace shay, no one can.

@twlichty Why don't you think this is news worthy?

@lucas he might not sing, but those screams are fucking awesome

such a shitty band ugh

I don't like this band and now I like them less. I like how all these bands just decide their vocalists can start doing cleans. A little studio magic and they're all set. Dude's a douche anyway.

dude is a raging dickhead. i hope his pipes blow.

You guys are implying that he could at least scream properly in the first place.

here's a novel idea: how about no cleans?

He's a good screamer and he has a very different sounding voice but his range really isn't too good. He basically has that one screechy pitch and never really tries to stray too far from it.

I'll give him that I suppose. The scream at the beginning of Westbound And Down is fairly impressive.

All I can think of reading that is Deez Nuts haha. I'll have to listen to that song though I don't think I'v heard it.

@InnocentShadow if he can't do cleans live then he shouldn't do them in the studio.

Hes decent, but yeah life he will get way too exhausted

But wack you're right, no true replacement for shay

Yeah I feel bad for him.

Heres to hoping he can tackle his depression problem, and back problems and get back with OMAM

Saw them front row at Warped last year, the OG Loko breakdown with the hard in the paint sample was one of the most epic things ever.

you can't be a real person

Am I the only person alive that thinks Shay's vocals are really annoying live?

this just makes me hope that shaley is going to release his own music, i have no reason to listen to this band now

weird how many sputnik people seem to like this band. i for one think they are very mehhhh

Austin Carilie: Call of Duty

lol

hope he doesnt use autotune

He might ^

Shayley is a damn good vocalist

Yep ^

Can't recall what his cleans actually sound like, but I do hope they don't infest every single song on the new album.

"hope he doesnt use autotune"

"He might ^"

he absolutely will.

Aw fuck he added so much to this band... Their next album will probably suck

^ This will probably suck because Austin is a douche bag and probably lived off of Shay's vocals/lyrics. He could work on his singing and work everything out but I doubt he will. The Flood was a needle in haystack.

"hope he doesnt use autotune"

"He might ^"

"he absolutely will."

god damnit

Well are his Ben Threw vox auto tuned?

I can't tell

^no, just layered to shit

This is really just going to be one of those situations where I'll "wait to hear" what happens.

I didn't think the of mice and men album was that great but I can't deny his screams are freaking amazing. Dickwad or not, amazing screamer.

Eh. He does have a pretty unique scream, whether you consider it good or not, and his singing in that one song was decent. Though i don't see how he'll be able to do it live since it seems like he runs out of stamina frequently.
