I had no clue how little there was to work with. When I was a kid I always felt the sang on pretty much every Pendulum track but apparently that isn't the case. There is so much unreleased stuff too which is super annoying, but not too much contains his vocals. I will probably expand the Low Notes up a bit of I can’t find more as the thread looks pretty empty. If anyone has any clips of him please let me know :)

i think for the granite c#5 you should link this version, you get a fair few more seconds outta the note

Up to F5 in the backing vocals here I think, and A4 a few times in the lead vocals too.

F5 again in the new Pendulum track, hopefully good enough to add this time!



Singing up to B4 here and he touches a quiet B2 around 2:30.
