I've followed Kevin and Evans Blue since the first time I heard "Cold But Im Still Here". Evans Blue definately sounds different with Dan but they're still Evans Blue. However , Parabelle is awesome as well , but Parabelle's song and record sales aren't even close to being close to that of E.B. In Parabelle Kevin does what Kevin wants and that is what makes him and Parabelle one of the greatest bands in my opinion. Yet , E.B. is a personal favorite as well.
what got me into EB is Matisyn's VOICE and the powerful lyrics... EB should not be EB anymore... I'm really amazed with kevin's talent... as i'm with menard james keenan and ben burnley

@Frenrey He created the name for the band. He was the reason they had the success they had - his phenomenal song writing. Sure the band is good, but it is not Evans Blue without him. Period.
Evans blue is weak without kevin. Kevin Matisyn inspired me to be an artist and i still hate what EB said about him in PUBLIC. oh well, good shyt kevin
honestly, Dan Chandler has an authentc vibe wth Erase My Scars, since it is a personal song, but the songwriting is so bland and disjointed. Kevin has a natural voice, songwriting talent, and just all around the whole package. Dan is basically tone deaf (but Buried Alive is one of my all time fav songs) it's just damn, have you heard Dan do Bulletproof live? that's rough, he can't sing. Kevin is just incredible
@matchbox202006 I think the difference is that dan has an aggressive rock style and Kevin has a personal / emotional writing style that touches people on a deeper level. I think Dan could make it big but I really think they should change the name and go the way of say Creed - Alter Bridge to leave the comparison to Kevin behind. It's good that he's not trying to be Kevin, but he they should drop the name.
on a side note, I am freakin' psyched for this album I'm loving the sound.
@Spinnr75 I agree. That's an awesome idea.NOONE but Kevin should sing the old EB songs. I've heard the new guy do a few and if I could get to him I woulda choked him for raping the art that I love.
parabelle is amazing! kevin matisyn made Evans Blue and you're right, they should change their name because their new singer cant touch Kevin when it comes to talent! He tries to sound like Kevin, but its a failure. I think Evans Blue now is just like every other mainstream rock band out there. Im actually playing 2 shows with Parabelle this june and im extremely excited about it! Matisyn is my idol, hands down! Keep rockin Kevin! Cya this summer!
honestly i think Kevin's voice is too powerful for Parabelle and with his solo band, and i don't think the new EB singer's voice is powerful enough for the band. I really hope there's a reunion eventually. I like listening to these songs for Kevin's voice, but it isn't the same without the EB band behind him.
@ryancrist86 It may not be the same, but I honestly think it sounds good in its own way. Definitely took getting used to though. Blur is absolutely incredible, both band and voice.
@ryancrist86 i agree 100%, i searched up parabelle hoping to hear some hard good stuff, but it was weak, his voice is too strong like you said. And EB's new singer sounds liek chevelle and BB's :(
@ECUKingbuddy : I totally agree with you. People have some sort of fantasy in their head if they believe that the band will be the same or people will somehow not compare the old to the new singer. Get a new name. I was so pissed when I found out Kevin broke away from them. Not that anyone deserves a particular blame perhaps, but I love Evan's Blue!
@MrBrokenMarionette Yeah.. Kevin was a way better singer and fit Evans Blue so well. And the new singer sounds nothing alike and they should just change their name. The new guy sound nothing like Matisyn.. Sounds like Ben Burnley but a sucky version of
Yeah only good song on the new evans blue album is who we are cus it has that old evans blue feel not this new shitty sound... I love this dudes voice.. FTW!
Evans Blue was an amazing band and I do believe it was because of Kevin. Once I downloaded the new cd off iTunes I thought I had gotten the wrong songs or something,I had to look up what the hell happened just to see that Kevin was voted out of the band. I agree that he WAS what made Evans Blue such an amazing band and im psyched that he is moving on to create new music. I do enjoy Evans Blue still,But thats only because they sound like Three Days Grace or Breaking Benjamin, Alas, rock on Kevin!
Evans|Blue wanted to be another copy of Nickleback so they sold out and got rid of one of the best, unique, and talented singers around. Sure, some of the songs on the new CD for e|b are ok, but the CD is at best a 2 star CD, and with Kevin it would have really been something. Kevin, when can I BUY this new music? This song and the song you do with Greg Norris from 32 Leaves are waiting for my money.
Everyones just sad hes not gonna be around because honestly, Kevin was the uniqueness to the band. while i agree they are still good, they really are just another "like-sounding" mainstream band. with the exception of bulletproof. that song's pretty good
Hearing him solo really makes me wonder. Was i listening to Evans blue for Evans blue or was i listening to them for kevin? the answer is simple i think. kevin was EB.
Totally agree dude, Loved Evans Blue ever since I first saw them open for Breaking Benjamin. Evans Blue is fuckin stupid, gettiong rid of this talent. Hands down a top 5 singer from last 30 years. Excellent song writer also. He just has vocals that are so melodic, and he hits every chord with perfection.
he made EB i can honestly that his voice is EB. if they had the voice they have now for "pursuit" or "melody" then i wouldn't have followed, but what made me get into them is matisyns' voice...
as you see parabelles' 2 disc album proved better than EB with sales... cant wait for "LEVEL"
kevin made evans blue. they dont even sound like the same band anymore. they went from unique to just another band making the same kinda crap as everyone else. hope the best for him
Yeah, he was Evans Blue..Even Evans Blue's sound is completely different, they don't have the good sounding drums//guitars and definitely do not have vocals.. they won't sell nearly as many albums unless they get him back
i think i'm about to cry, this really compares to a soon to be relationship i was in, she wanted me, o wanted her, then she dropped me, she stopped talking to me, then a few months after that she apologized and she wanted to know if i wanted to hang out, and i told her, like matisyn, "not today"
Evans blue found a new singer with a generic sounding streamline radio voice. That's why they signed him, to sell out! Evans blue is nothing without Kevin Matisyn! He was the band.
Dude, if you havent noticed, Evan´s Blue is NOT the same without him. They´re good, I like them still, but this song has that Evan´s Blue flair, what made them stand out from the rest. They´re good, but they arent fantastic like they used to be.
their new singer ain't bad, but Matisyn provided that awesome voice... Sick Of It by Evans Blue is a great indication for the band's new future. but im sure matisyn will prosper in the future, he'll have great success
I've followed Kevin and Evans Blue since the first time I heard "Cold But Im Still Here". Evans Blue definately sounds different with Dan but they're still Evans Blue.
