Yeah... I'm good friends with this band Down to Earth Approach that just put out a record on Vagrant and the vocals are so apparently Auto-Tuned that it doesn't even sound like it's him. Like, I've worked with these guys a bunch and Jon is a great vocalist. We did a bunch of demos a couple years ago at Starfields in Buffalo when I still worked there and tracked it all on RADAR. No plugins or AutoTune. The stuff sounded awesome.
Go and listen to the record -
www.downtoearthapproach.com. It streams from their site. I'll try to send J. some of the demos we did and maybe he can post them here to compare. It's crazy!
Oh, and last night I went to see Jimmy Eat World at Cornell in Ithaca. IT ROCKED!!! They even let Tom sing a couple songs from Clarity and Static Prevails. Amazing show! Tight band! Jim Adkins is a great performer agreed!!! No AT needed!
For those interested, they opened with 'To Me This is Heaven' and closed with 'Sweetness'. I can die a happy man!!!
