Really really dislike the processing/muffling of the vocals in this band -- perfect example of once edgy thing becoming a well-worn trope.

Yeah, I loved the 4 song EP, but I never have the urge to play the debut album.

I saw them the other day in a basement and can attest that the either the mic wasn't working or the vocals were completely buried in the mix, such as it was. I heard vocals from other bands so I am assuming it's an aesthetic choice.

Ha, I had already forgotten I had seen them

I haven't, because they are the answer to "who was the shittest band you saw this year?"

I think this piece from the singer may answer some of the questions about low vocals:

The first time in my life that people have paid attention to what I have to say and it's threatening to take my voice away for good.

just saw them play outdoors in 19°F weather.

overall the sound was shitty, but the vocals were as upfront as you'd expect from any band

I love the energy but my attitude toward the vocals varies - I think the effect works amazingly well on "Interference Fits" when the first thing you really understand is "since when do we say yes to love?"

homage to them in the new "House of Cards" season.

separate from the Pussy Riot stand-in or did that also reference PP? (I've only been able to half concentrate on this season, not explicitly trashy enough.)
