I really dig this guys, and everything they have put out. The vocals are an acquired taste. However, saw them at sxsw last year for a short set. The vocals just really don’t translate well live. Still really dig their stuff.
o neat i think i saw these guys open for someone last year. Maybe Indigo De Souza?Anyways, I think they are kinda going for a Dinosaur Jr. grungy slacker vibe but with less noise. Vocals can be like this sometimes and still be expressive in their amateurish quality
Honestly, the vocal blame should be on the mixers more than the singer himself. Yeah, he’s not hitting notes, but this type of music really doesn’t need that. That said, rarely will straight up completely dry vocal mixes ever compliment the instrumentals. It’s also wild to me how people are so nonchalant about insulting a person’s vocals who has a band that has gotten to the point they can play KEXP. What have you done?
This feels like a superficial imitation of the vibe they’re going for rather than the actual vibe itself. If they actually nailed it and added some technical and lyrical complexity, I could be on board since I love this sound. Not trying to offend, but they wouldn’t have even gotten a sniff if they were around when this sound was in its heyday, they just sound like they’re trying to be too cookie-cutter sell-out from the get-go
I went and listened to their album. The dude still has the same voice and cadence, he just kinda lands on the note on the album. This is just distracting, unfortunately
Enumclaw? Like this Enumclaw?

It’s like they are all wearing head phones so they don’t hear that dudes singing.
I dunno if there’s something up with his monitors but homie is /completely/ out of key with his own song lol
He sings like I sing! Brave man.
Oh god that’s awful.

I kind of prefer slightly off key singing. It’s got that post-punk power pop teenage vibe, reminding me a bit of Husker Du.
Lol thought everyone was over exaggerating about his voice. Oof..
Mix a little Foo fighters with some U2 vibes, then slap on my drunk cousin on karaoke night and there you go!
Wow. Everything about this is terrible.
I actually like it lol

I don’t even mind the bad vocals, it’s just a very generic and boring song.
I saw this live, it was the NYE show at the Space Needle. Didn’t sound great.
Was expecting the Jimmy Neutron theme song. Disappointed.
Reminds me of Dinosaur Junior and Silversun Pickups’ bastard child. I actually don’t mind the shitty vocals.
Never heard this. Seems cool, big fan of dinosaur Jr

Gotten to see them a few times, and they are fun. They generally don’t sound this rough. Bad mix maybe?
Jesus, this isn’t very good at all.
Well that gives me confidence in the music I’ve been recording with a buddy cause god damn that’s rough
worst singing ive heard in 2023 so far

Kexp doing some charity work
Felt like I was back in 1994
These vocals are really really bad?
Got 20 seconds in.
Sounds like the local performance at the coffee house near my place.
“I’m gonna name myself after a small town in Washington state known for their horses.”
-This Guy-
I actually like the vocals
I can’t drive by Enumclaw without thinking about Mr. Hands. I don’t think they’ll live that down in the next few decades.

They shill these guys at the Kraken games too. Music’s bad however I give the lead singer a pass becuz he has a Steve Pool mustache.
my dude hitting right notes by mistake. i still dig the song tho.

Had a blast seeing them in Omaha!
Saw them live in Boston last summer. They put on a great show.
