VOICE: Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens

Ok so I was planning on making a blog entry about Kellin anyway, but then I ended up finding some videos of him beat boxing and I had to write this; it inspired me.
 Kellin Quinn is the vocalist from Sleeping With Sirens. His voice has such a large range for a 'rock singer'. I would describe his band as post-hardcore, although there are a lot of different elements within their music.
  He has a very melodic voice, but he can also scream. Kellin's voice ranges from the highest notes to deep growls, and now I've found out he can beat box.
  Quite often the case with bands is each person is good in their field and collectively they make good music. Vocals in bands are less important, although I've noticed this is dieing out more recently. Kellin breaks the mold in this way as he has such a voice any solo artist would envy.
  Recently I saw Sleeping With Sirens perform live. Before the show I could hear him doing vocal warm ups and the range in voice really is incredible, as you can hear in this song (also below).


  'Who Are You Now' showcases the high end of his vocal range. The album, however, allows him to show off on every level.
  He is a very interesting artist to watch when he is performing too, as you can tell he is putting his all into a performance, just from his facial expressions and the way he contorts his body and face. It is pure passion.
  So, if any of you are reading this and thinking you've never heard of this band I'd advise you check them out.
  Sleeping With Sirens have just released their second studio album on Rise Records. A review will follow shortly.
