Sponge singer Vinnie Dombrowski is the Raine soundalike

Edge played Molly last week and I just remembered how much he sounds like Raine. Did anyone ever notice this?

No, he doesn't. He sure as hell doesn't sound like Raine live. He's a cool guy, it's awesome to have a once famous family friend.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

They're called "Our Lady Peace." Lead singer sounds just like Raine.

You guys have it wrong.........I am Raine's doppelganger. Seriously, I sing songs just like him........just not EXACTLY......his voice is almost inimitable. I only wish I had some true talent as i am just "the OLP karaoke guy"...........despite this it still feels cool. I can't sing anything else. "One trick pony" is what my brother says.
