It's true, the singing is so often the weak point on local records
... but I think (hope) that this has more to do with the recordings than the voices - was listening to Pavement this morn and Steve Malkmus doesn't have anything vaguely resembling a sonorous voice (he's not even in tune some of the time) but he sounds DEADLY

Actually I recommend listening to alot of black singers and taking note of their unusual approach (from a white guys POV) to vocals. Oh yeah and loads, and loads of practice.

...nd I've noticed that alot of bands write their vocals around their guitar parts, and rarely vice-versa.

...its nothing to do with poor quality recording.

I've also heard good things about Beards of Jesus. They've been known to set themselves on fire live - and no, not the kind that goes out with water.
You need foam, baby, and plenty of it.

more of my family's sinister attempt to take over the "scene", i'm afraid (we're kind of like the kelly family, only less hideous and german). she does some swoopy soprano backing vocals. they're really good, too.

it's pretty easy to write a guitar bit, but damn hard to come up with a decent vocal melody, which is why folks like the corpo and neosupervital stand out.

That's not really what I meant. When I say the recordings may be at fault I mean ... that not being able to sing in a conventionally handsome way needn't be a problem in the studio if the singer/engineer/producer have the skills/imagination to make the voice sound like it needs to be the way it is
e.g. Pavement

Underrated local acts recommended by this O'Malley:
- Schroedersound
- The Boxes
Also well worth checking out, if your jollies are achieved through the medium of unusual noyze, are the following:
- "Beaches and Canyons", Black Dice
- "Vision Creation New Sun", The Boredoms
...who is playing in the Village with Headgear, John Hegarty and Margaret Healy. It's on tomorrow night and it costs 8 Euros. Sorted.Originally posted by Anne OMalley
Schroedersound...
