Dev, Watchtower is calling!

They want YOU

"We are under no illusion that finding that voice for WATCHTOWER will be an easy task, especially if our last singer search back in the early '90s is anything to go by. But we are hopeful that with the help of the Internet we'll be able to cast a wider net and find that needle in a haystack this time.

"We are looking for someone who has a grasp of the mechanics of music, i.e. an understanding of time signature changes, a good sense of timing, can write melodies, and is willing to go a little nuts with us on stage. We'd prefer someone in Texas, though we understand the geography may require flexibility to get the right person.

"If you sound like a cross between Devin Townsend, Geddy Lee, Myles Kennedy, and Russell Allen and have the crazy stage personality of a Mike Patton — we want to hear from you! If you ARE Devin, Geddy, Myles or Russ — we want to hear from you!"

yeah, I saw this the other day....despite being a huge fan of both though, I'm really not sure that combination would work

That's a list of damn great vocalists they mention there anyway. Devin and Russell Allen are two of my favourite singers.

Yeah, they are pretty much looking for God. Hope they find him! I thought Tim Aymar from Control Denied would be a good fit. I wonder what he's doing nowadays.

Tim Aymar's working on the 2nd Control Denied album, of course.


Dev's thrashy type vocals on James Murphy's solo album were pretty nice, wouldn't mind hearing him do something like this again.

Hey guys, does anyone know if Devin ever responded to this call or commented on it on the boards or in an interview? I'd love to read/hear it.

Thanks!
