I started to write this whole convoluted and self righteous blog about how I want to be a millionaire, but I blew it out my ass instead. I would rather talk about Daryl Palumbo. Dude is a freaking genius. Lead vocalist for Glassjaw, Head Automatica, and House of Blow, and suffers from Crohn's disease. He is the definition of vocalist. The versatility is undeniable, the control is incredible.
When I first listened to Worship and Tribute, Glassjaw's second major album, I thought there were points in which Daryl's voice was put through some sort of processor, to make his voice's pitch bend a little, maybe even speed up. However, after listening quite closely for some time, I came to realize that Daryl was the one causing his voice to fluctuate in that manner. Glassjaw's first major album, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence, was an extremely influential album in the Genres of Hardcore, Metal, and Post-Hardcore.
And we all know Beating Heart Baby. Classic Head Automatica.
Moreover, it was House of Blow that threw me for a loop. Daryl's vocals are over an almost Hip Hop type beat. Although I was only able to find one song, it had a very interesting sound.
Feel free to listen to the playlist, I put songs up from all three bands.
Freakin' Daryl. God, I'm Jealous.

It's insane to hear how some artists will spread their vocal seed all over multiple genres. It shows who has a true, unique voice.
