I can't sing for shit! i want to learn, though. I'm better than I was in high school, but I'm still not great. I can, however, scream. And I love it! I was passed a guitar recently, too, so maybe I'll be able to get down with learning to play. I have two guitarist friends, and a drummer/pianist friend. We want to make a band, but the dude who's supposed to hit lead guitar is flaky as hell, so we never really practice anything. We all want to sing and scream our own lyrics, though, because we all write. And they all want me to be the lead vocalist for both singing and screaming, so I have some pressure towards that. After I finish my first novel (it's been a long time coming!) we should be getting into it more. My flaky friend wanted to kick ff his clothing/skate brand, and he did that last week. It hit hella well locally, so I think we can start branching out to more of our goals soon. Including creating some pop-punk/post-hardcore rock! And I'm stoked to scream some of my lyrics with them!
I've also thought about turning some of my poems into slams with music accenting them. I love slamming, and random people around my hometown have suggested I throw some music to my poems, and scream some of he lines, and I want to. It'd probably give off a Hotel Books or La Dispute vibe, and I would dig that shit!
Also, I wasn't expecting the song you posted to get louder, and when it hit, I was shocked while reading someone else's comment. It was awesome! And your voice is sick, dude! It accentuates the music so well!
Beacause I can't post anything, and haven't recorded anything yet, I'll post some music by my friend's band. He moved away with his band a little over a year ago, but I always love supporting them!
