Derek is probably one of the best singer of the pop-punk scene ... Saw them in Belgium and he's never out of tune and so powerful ! So much respect for him !
Derek said in an interview on "Beers with the Band" that he used to be in a hardcore band and screamed, hence is ability to control the power and those gritty notes which slay your soul
tbh he sings with his throat a lot which is bad but thats where his power comes from, so if you were to train your diaphragm and sing correctly, with enough force you could do some makeshift "raspiness" but it also depends on if your voice can take it, some peoples voices just crack instead
I love Derek hes my fav state champs is prob my all time fav pop punk band besides mayday parade such a nice down to earth guy besides Ryan and he grew up 2p mins form my hometown so sc has a personal place in my heart
Oh Gee yet another song/performance to show why these guys gained me as a fan after checking them out after Where I Belong (that they did with Simple Plan) 💝
When it comes to this style of music there's Derek, Parker, and then everyone else. Derek is the sweet to Parker's sour. The honey to his vinegar if you will.
out of knuckle puck, real friends and their performance state champs murdered, props!!! but sorry knuckle puck takes my favorite band haha love all three though.
It looks like Kenny Vasoli harnessed his man juice, then kept it in a cryogenic chamber in his basement (that I'm certain is decorated with pictures of himself) while he researched cloning, and then cooked you up in his lab.
Tyler: “ it’s a 6 minute song I’ll never play freebird it’s like 8 minutes” Derek: “Silverstein was like DONT fuck with us cause we know the whole 15 minuets or whatever”
Believe me Derek is killing it too, but nobody's giving Ty enough credit for the guitar parts he writes.

he misses notes often.. he over compensates sometimes.. not hating.. cause I love his dongs.. but, he's far from the best.. it's all opinion..
Lol I just reread my comment I sounded like an ass. Haha. I just feel like he's overhyped that's all.
no prob haha i have the same feeling for some other dudes i feel you
just like back when everyone thought Adam lazzara was better than Jessie lacy. . . umm, no. . just no. lol
Saw them in Belgium too in March, best concert I've ever been!

do you know if the band made any youtube videos or what its called?
I like the gritty-ness he uses sometimes. really cool to know he used to be with a hardcore band.
Yea
Welp, my ovaries definitely weren't ready for Derek's voice. Fuck.
excuse me??? lmfaoo
What a voice on those strains. Wow. Just wow.
I wasn't ready when he yelled " HELD RESPONSIBLE "
My soul left my body tbh
Is Derek wearing a Tonight Alive shirt? I love this song so much.
+Izzy Horan of course he is :)
+Cameron Schumacher i think this was when they were on tour with them
I actually really love this version omg
Never have I loved a band as much as I love state champs!
Absolutely in love with this band
how does this not have more views 😭 it is honestly so good i cant even fathom i love this version
This killed me omg Derek's voice it's like I went to heaven but then I remember nope I'm in my room blasting state champs
IM IN A WASTELAND BUT NEVERTHELESS I CAN TRY TO SEE THIS CLEARLYYYY ❤️
this version is so soulful
I love this acoustic version so much better than the original 😭 they should release an acoustic album, I really enjoy the raw sound they have c:
You know they have a whole acoustic album right? its called the acoustic things
I need to watch another State Champs show. They're so good live. Ahhh I miss these guys.
Does anyone know how in the hell Derek does those rasps that he does a lot in this? Sounds sweet and I've always wanted to learn how to do it.
it's pretty much groaning while singing like a god
he used to be in a hardcore band & he did a lot of screaming, so i'm just assuming those rasps are a lil bit of that showing
tbh he sings with his throat a lot which is bad but thats where his power comes from, so if you were to train your diaphragm and sing correctly, with enough force you could do some makeshift "raspiness" but it also depends on if your voice can take it, some peoples voices just crack instead
He is adding compression to his vocals.
It's called vocal fry.. not dry screaming, they are separate sides of the same coin.
I love Derek hes my fav state champs is prob my all time fav pop punk band besides mayday parade such a nice down to earth guy besides Ryan and he grew up 2p mins form my hometown so sc has a personal place in my heart
I am in tears again,,, too good too pure
Oh Gee yet another song/performance to show why these guys gained me as a fan after checking them out after Where I Belong (that they did with Simple Plan) 💝
State Champs are amazing!!!!
Beautiful.
So so beautiful
If he was around in the 70s or 80s he definitely would of been in a hair band. Them Vocals are amazing. Pure Rock and Roll voice.

LOVE State Champs, buuuuuuuut not sure I like Simple Existence as an acoustic song. Maybe it's just this version.
I think it's just because I don't like Derek's acoustic-yelling/screaming voice. Yup, thats it.
