Vocal Range: E2 - G♯5

{Vocal Summary}Screaming his balls off since 2001, Marc Paffi's roars and antics led him to success in the early 2000s as the frontman of Michigan's "post-hardcore band to see", Bear Vs. Shark. Favourably compared to At the Drive-In, the band played fiery barn-burners that took the roof off the small venues they performed at and a great deal of that can certainly be attributed to the well assembled package of B4s that Marc Paffi seemed to have an endless supply of. Though Bear Vs. Shark are currently on "hiatus" after one of the most kick-ass reunions that a bunch of late 30-somethings who have since had calmer careers, Marc Paffi's newest band, Bars of Gold continues that same powerful post-hardcore sound with no signs of softening things anytime soon.
