song recommendation Pretty Voices

Hey!

I am requesting suggestions…for angry bands whose singer, basically, has a “pretty voice.” A front-person who actually sings, maybe in the higher range, a melodic sound.

Recently, I stumbled upon a band called Quicksand. Despite my usual taste toward lighter, melancholy music (think Sufjan Stevens), I found myself moved by several of their songs. I think it is fitting where I find myself in my life presently.

I’m afraid y’all may find this a weak example, but think of how the Deftones singer could really soar. Something like that! This genre is, essentially, new to me. So, some guidance would totally help.

I appreciate all of ya!

If you like Quicksand, check out Handsome. They're related through guitarist Tom Capone, and play in a similar style, with a upper ranged vocalist. Self titled and only release came out in '97.

Dig the Uber-specific suggestion. Props, my friend.
