Hey dudes, nonchalant drummer here! First off thank you so much for doing a reaction, glad you enjoyed the track! Second, to answer your question both myself and our bass player do some main and backing vocals live to make certain layers/transitions possible. Once again, thanks for giving us a listen! 🤘🤙
Honestly..we bands are happy when the drummer just shows up period. My band moved 3/4 across the US and im glad to find a band like this is where we've moved.
i seen them live in newcastle, to answer the layered vocals question she does the cleans only for the chorus with no harsh vocal layers whatsoever, doesn't take anything from her range at all, she can pull all that off live which is impressive in itself, the drummer does vocals in some of their songs like let down which if you haven't checked out is another banger by them
So happy to see this band get the credit they deserve. They are live Vids online to see how Linzey works it all out vocally Nath. Hope you both check out The Anchor back catalogue too. You won't be disappointed.
I've seen other film clips of The Anchor where the "nonchalant" drummer does the clean vocals. That's probably their live option. Although metalcore drummer singing while doing those complex patterns and fills just blows my tiny mind.
I hav seen these guys live and Lindzey and the boys slay live. Been going to their shows for ten years and it has been amazing to see the progression. Now she sings the chorus clean when necessary. and if there is a growl overlay, the boys will sing it. Little different sound in that aspect but same feels. They are the nicest people in the world as well.
Pop Toot! The Anchor hit the mark on so many levels! I do see what you say about the prop with the layered vocals live, but the chorus sounds perfect as it is!!! Singer definately has a set of pipes thats for sure!
Agree with Nathan on the layered vocal and live performances. Saw Def Leppard for their Hysteria anniversary tour. They still rock! Motley Crüe. Doubt I’ll see again as I saw them on their “farewell tour” already.
Many bands now do that type of vocals. Even a band like Trivium go the other way and use their guitarist for heavy vocals that is not present in many of their clips, makes you think oh this is not the same. But then on the other hand some bands use pre-recorded vocals even BMTH at Soundwave many years back now (Sad times) used pre-recorded vocals
It doesn't bother me in the slightest to layer tracks. Bands don't owe you doing every bit of their music live. As long as it's her voice and she's doing the base layer, all they're doing is adding texture and range to the song.
