If it wasn't for those kind of songs, I wouldn't have been able to get into and appreciate the softer, slower songs that are pretty great.
Yeah if anyone here isn't familiar with Pedestrian yet, they should go listen to some of these right now.

Here's a few of my favorite performances from them that I've seen the past few years. It's a good starting spot and after that remember to go buy their albums. :)

listen to this song and try to prove that isnt raine singing it...i dare you!!
I can completely tell its not Raine singing that track.. I can see how in spots the voices sound alike, but maybe i've listened to too much TFK.

bahahahha just saw this

i've liked thousand foot krutch for awhile, and when i heard that song i remember thinking " wait...raine?!?!" but if u listen to it a few times u hear spots where he sounds nothing like raine...his voice is not as deep...but it does sound very similiar.
