Anyone ever heard of them? They're a pretty good band actually. The guitarist's mom actually lives right next door to me, and my uncle dated the guitarist's sister for a while. He lived there too for some time and I would always hear some sort of band practice going on. He still stops by once in a while and he's a pretty nice guy. Hell of a good guitarist too.

But yeah, if you have heard them, what do you think of them? If not, check them out

I've heard them but I haven't really managed to pick anything out musically because I just hate their vocalist so much

Yeah pretty much. Circa Survive's vocalist makes their music almost unlistenable to me.

I hate this fucking band. I dont have a problem with higher-pitched vocals in general at all, but this guy is ridiculous.

I do not understand how you guys can dislike Anthony Green's voice. He is a legend.

I honestly think that Anthony Green is one of the most talented vocalists of the last decade or so. He sings with such a passion, it's impossible not to feel it. His range is unbelievable. I can see how his voice might grate on some people's ears, but I adore it. Circa Survive isn't my favorite project of his though.

I think he does a phenomenal job in this song.


Beautiful song, btw

I don't hate his voice, but I don't like the music itself that much.

this band sounds like they will just be forever vamping linkin park with some silly moogerfooger effects and distasteful static uptight drumming and bad vocals.

this is a pretty terrible post and I probably deserve a warning but I feel like this needs pointed out.

with that said the fact that they are playing a free show on the south oval at osu makes me sick

I don't really see where you get "vamping linkin park with some silly moogerfooger effects" that is pretty inaccurate.

A more valid criticism of them would be that the guitarist is constantly playing arpeggios arpeggios arpeggios and theres really no variety to the songwriting.  But they don't really sound like linkin park or even a contemporary of linkin park at all.

Also I don't think the vocals are BAD, I just think the songs aren't that great.  I could see myself enjoying him as a singer if they just wrote cooler shit.

I based that on the 'beautiful' song that JOJO linked earlier in the topic.

Yeah, I downloaded their latest abum.  They are pretty inept songwriters.  The sound has a  lot of potential imo and they do like one cool thing here and there, but yeah imo i wont listen again.
