Rick Maguire (1987)
Years Active: 2006 - Present
Associated Acts: Pile (2006 - Present)
Voice Type: Boston Born and Raised
Vocal Range: E2 - B5
{Vocal Summary}Rick Maguire is the frontman, vocalist, and often lead guitarist of the band he formed- and has continued to use as a creative outlet- Pile.
From his earliest Pile recordings, he shows more prowess in his lower register than in his higher register. Still, his voice has remained consistent in tone for the last 18 or so years, and consistency is key to his vocal style, even despite the amount of vocal damage you would expect from a voice like his.
