I AM GOBSMACKED!!! Blind reaction to Bass Gang - Hooked On A Feeling

[@TheBassGangOfficial]

Thank you so much for the reaction! We are indeed from four different locations. We have Bobby (beard) and Peter (buff guy) in different parts of the United States, Marwan (big hair guy) in Egypt, and Tomi (Blue shirt guy) in the Czech Republic! 💙

You will eventually learn that Tim can sing pretty much anything he wants. 5 octave range and all of it beautifully. Love this collaboration. You should watch Peter Barbers reaction to this video to see how they felt about Tim.

Closer to six, really.

[@mettesrensen6116]

@@dgpatter You´re right he´s working on the sixth octave and Chance is going for the fifth

[@daleb1279]

You need to do Mayday now for Home Free to understand just how much a range ALL of the Home Free guys have. This was a fun video and the Bass Gang look at Tim like a grand master bass so they were thrilled to have him join them.

[@craigcornwell9576]

People usually ruin Mayday because it is too early. Funny he is too late! Lol

[@debbieholoquist2059]

Yeah, he's ready for Mayday!

[@katrinaprescott5911]

Like Geoff, Tim does solo work where he layers his own voice and harmonizes with himself. Unlike Geoff, he generally doesn't choose songs that are bass-centered with some higher parts. His current solo album is a collection of doo-wop songs (50s and 60s) where he sings all parts of a five part harmony - bass, baritone and tenor. Those generally feature the higher parts as lead because that was the style at the time.

[@michaelsoper3610]

Although, there were also stylistic reasons, a significant reason for favoring tenor leads at the time was that in the early days of electric instruments and television, sound reproduction was far superior in the higher ranges, both with the limitations of the speakers that were useful for the relatively small vehicle road warriors playing live shows and the tinny, single TV speakers. As sound reproduction quality improved, you saw the emergence of dominant baritones like Elvis Presley and featured bass singers, in groups like the Statler Brothers' Harold Reid and the Oak Ridge Boys' Richard Sterban

[@rebeccarose7405]

We southerners have released “y’all” out into the world and you should feel free to use it! With all the Home Fries here, it’ll be fine! 😉😂

[@denise_landry]

I hate to spring it on ya, but you haven't even begun to hear Tim's range yet. 🤣 If you want to hear Tim singing in his lower register then check out "Brothers in Arms" - it's also one of Home Free's masterpieces. If you want to hear Tim (alone) show off most of his 5 octave range then check out Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay". And yes, The Bass Gang guys were super excited to have Tim on this song. Very nice collab. Great reaction - thanks. 🍟

[@Broomrider1492]

Bass Gang is over the top. Peter Barber is an opera singer/bass singer and a reactor. I love when he reacts to Geoffs videos.VoicePlay did a mini of this. Also, Tim Foust has another solo cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay that will have you on the floor. FYI Tim gave Geoff pointers on how to go so low.

[@mettesrensen6116]

Tim Geoff and Avi are great friends 😀🥰 and yes Tim has helped Geoff and Avi get lower using his Growl note just as Geoff helped with the subharmonics BTW they dont like being compared 😡

Like Geoff, Tim has an incredible vocal range. You may wish to react to some of Tim's solos stuff--he's really incredible.

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Tim has his own solo channel. Must hear his cover of In My Room by the Beach Boys. Tim in 5 part harmony is so beautiful!!!!

[@momD612]

The bass gang guys have NEVER met in person. Nor did they meet with Tim for this. That makes it even more incredibly impressive...❤❤

[@susanjervey4403]

The Bass Gang's manager Casper Fox, here seen "proposing" to Tomi, is also a talented singer and has collaborated with Marwan.

[@phoenix_Mercury]

Crazy seeing this comment now when part(cas being their manager) isnt applicable now

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Tim has a 5 octave range which is extremely rare. He does alot of lead vocals now on Home Frees new songs! Chance covers the bass when Tim is leading!!

Chance is not shabby, either. 👍💙

[@justann1358]

Bass Gang member1: guys, we need a tenor lead on this one. Any suggestions? Bass Gang member2: hmm 🤔 Bass Gang member3: I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ Bass Gang member4: I know! Let’s ask Tim 😃

[@nivram9817]

One of my favorites in Misty Mountains. It's Peter Hollins featuring Tim Foust. I promise you that you will love it.

[@KaaSerpent]

From left to right, Marwan Ayman (Egypt), Peter Barber (US), Tim Foust (obviously), Tomi P (Czech Republic), and Bobby Bass (US). They have never all been in the same room. :) Each of them has a very wide range from basement to rafters. Tomi P can hit notes you won't believe on the high end, and ALL of them can go SO low. It's stunning. Oh, and that's Tim doing the arpeggiated bass.

[@rulab]

"They're making me say y'all. I don't do that. I'm an Aussie..." All your Patrons are laughing here DJ...you do it in the Discord...💗 I love how much you enjoyed this. It's my favourite by them. And I'm only a tiny bit disappointed the shirt stayed on...😂😂😂

[@mettesrensen6116]

The first time reactors hear Tim going up i tell them to do a 2in1 reaction and check out 1. Peter Hollens ft. Tim Foust MISTY MOUNTAINS and then 2. Home Free SNOW GLOBE 🤯🤯🤣🤣

[@dagmar.6954]

How much fun was that! Love having Tim sing with the Bass Gang. Tim is the growl master but he can also sing high. I have always liked this song done first by the late B.J. Thomas in 1968. It was later done by Jonathan King in 1971 & Blue Swede in 1974 who both added the "ooga chaka" part. If you watch Peter Barber's reaction he says none of them were physically together which makes it even more impressive.

[@terimingle8957]

Just loved this collaboration. They kept it under their hats and had a few select reactors react to it blind not knowing the song or who else was in it! Kaz, Mortius, and King Family all reacted blind and were blown away. GREAT reaction!!! Your chair dancing skills are impressive!!! ❤

Oh, such interesting info! I wonder what it says about me that I know all those people.... Do I spend too much time on KZbin? 😅😂

[@giacomofuortes2703]

Bass gang is an incredible group of very talented bass singers that is taking his earned space up there with the 3 top acappella groups. Think that they all are big fan of Tim . Marwan commented on that video that he started singing bass trying to imitate Tim. You should react to the reaction peter barber did of this song, you will learn many interesting things and see the excitement of peter for this collab is priceless. If you want pure amazement with Tim react to Your man but live version, you will not regret. Also 22 times tim went soobwoofer mode is a great video

[@carriemilito2851]

Bass Gang has a version of Centuries that will make you hit the repeat button. They have a guest singer with them on that one that could give Eli from Voiceplay a run for the title of rock god.

[@mariesmith6494]

I love their cover of Centuries. Jonathan Young is one of my favourite singers.

[@deniblackmore2179]

I love that cover! It was the first time I'd heard Jonathan Young and now I'm hooked on his work! His rock and metal cover versions are outstanding yet he appears to be able to cover just about any genre. Love his voice in all it's various forms.

[@mariesmith6494]

@Denise Blackmore me too! I'm obsessed lol. I'm in the middle of making a playlist for a 9 hour flight from Scotland to see Home Free in Orlando, and there's more Jonathan than anyone else on it so far 🫣 It's usually 100% Home Free 😆

[@chrislindsay8643]

Oh, he goes a hell of a lot higher than that. Listen to Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, A Tim solo effort.

[@JayeEllis]

Tim's solo stuff will blow your socks off. His 5-octave range on display. when he does all the parts. It's like Geoff does, too.

[@StevenEverett7]

Yes, definitely check out Tim's channel for some of his solo work. I strongly suggest you start with Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. You should also listen to him singing with Peter Hollens on Peter's channel. Along with other songs they also did a version of Misty Mountains that was quite different than Geoff's version.

[@lauraday2827]

Peter Hollens and Tim on Misty Mountains is a true masterpiece. Tim's voice shakes the camera on his last notes.

[@roniboyd613]

Oh sweetie, you have NOT heard Tim's full range yet. Try "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay" or any other of his doo wop songs. And you really need to check out Peter Barber's reaction to this song❤❤

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

Nope. You said "y'all" twice. If nothing else, that makes you a Home Fry, with lots of seasoning. Love y'all's reaction! Tim is generous with his talents, and gives Bass Gang members hands up as they take their places in the new "top 4." You are right that the a cappella community is tight and supportive of one another. Not at all competetive, and often collabarative. Another collab you will enjoy is his duets (squared) with Peter Hollens, especially the earlier "Misty Mountain". Definitely, keep sharing your joys with us! 🤩

[@cute_unicorn_chaos2464]

I’m so glad you showed up on my for you page. I love watching your reaction videos thank you for making me smile ❤

[@jmacd9552]

Tim can sing anything, Base, Tenor, Baritone, this man has a 5 octave range. If you want to have your socks blown off. React to Homefree's version of Cams song "MayDay". But make sure you know who the members of HomeFree are vocally.

[@judithboggs2196]

😂😂😂....you are in good company. Everybody has been gob smacked by these guys. They have been coming on for a couple years or more. You do need to get in their catalogue.

Tim's solo mashup of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow / Stay" shows off his range and love of music from the 50's/60's. There's also an older Home Free mashup of "Thinking Out Loud / Let's Get It On" you should check out.

May the Bass Be With You vol. 1 was released in May, 2021. Each of the four videos was arranged and choreographed by the guys and released on their individual channels. Those first four songs were all Billie Eilish covers. Volume 2 was released in May 2022 on the official Bass Gang channel. All four will be meeting this summer to record in person for the first time.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

First time I heard Tom sing was with Austin on somebody's deck during the initial lockdown. Tim sang the chorus on "My Maria". At the end of the video he and Austin spoke and I couldn't believe the voice coming out of Tim. Then I fell down the Home Free rabbit hole.........

[@jenniferenger5671]

Go listen to Peter Barber’s reaction to this. He has one of the bassiest speaking voice I’ve heard. Listen to Home Free’s Mayday and then listen to Tim’s solo version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Stay. The Bass Gang has never all been together in the same room or even the same country. They all look up to Tim and were thrilled that he agreed to work with them. Tim posted today that this had 100,000 views-he seemed as pleased as the Bass Gang guys. Your reactions always make me smile!! Thank you!

[@bonniebenson1718]

They usually have a guest sing with them. They keep getting better and better. They are wonderful together, but they have individual channels, too. Enjoy them all!

[@chericeevans9990]

For Tim's high range, check out Mayday (Home Free) and Will You Still Love Me/Stay and Since I Don't Have You.

[@bwayne1994]

Off the top of my head Tim's range in Home Free is most obvious in MayDay and Thinking Out Loud/Let's Get It On. Tim and Austin's My Maria and Tim's solo Doo Wop stuff shows off his high range

[@lschoenrank]

Tim is amazing in his higher ranges - go watch Tim Foust and Austin Brown singing "My Maria". Just go there now. And as for Geoff from VoicePlay, you need to see the Oogie Boogie song. He does ALL the things!

[@Badger77722]

One of the most amazing things about The Bass Gang is that they have never all met in real life. Bobby and Peter are in the US, Tomi is in the Czech Republic, and Marwan is in Eqypt. So all of their collaborations are done "long distance", and have to be coordinated so that if there is any choreo they can all do it at the same time in the recording. Everything is done through green/blue screen. And of course, Tim is also in the US, but even those guys are spread out all over the country, so it's all done with one person recording both their audio and visual parts (usually at very different times), and then having to mix and match all of that together. While Marwan is the youngest of the group (I believe 19), he's also Muslim, so alcohol isn't something he's supposed to be drinking.

[@rhodrijames7962]

The Bass Gang are just amazing, go have fun! I'd save "Hide and Seek" with Lauren Paley for Halloween; their version is creepy-scary where Voiceplay's (also with Lauren!) is creepy-funny.

[@denisemagnuson8366]

So glad you like the Bass gang. Tim is like Geoff (they are aliens!), the highs and lows.

[@lindabergstrom6650]

I'm glad to see vocal bass affects others the way it does me!!! Such a fun reaction!

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Tim, years back, helped Jeff with his low bass range. Jeff has done some arrangement work for Home Free

[@TheRealXesc]

You should definitely watch Peter Barber's own reaction to this song. He's awesome, he's funny, and he explains so many nifty little things about the production and the experience of doing this. He also explains where they are all from, how they mix the stuff. Don't forget that what makes a good bass, is not just how low they can go - all basses go deep, it's all about how versatile they are, how they control their voices at all ranges. Tim has an exceptional 5-octave range (Check some of his solo work, for example Will you still love me / Stay). Peter also makes some really fantastic stuff on his own, he's a pro opera singer. They are all awesome guys, in their groups, solo, and together here. The big surprize to the community with this release was that TIM was collabi'ng with them, that's super awesome.

[@DnDAddictUK]

Beautiful reaction as always. Bass Gang always deserves love, and you 100% get what they are all about. #DJantlers #DJsHerd

The members of Bass Gang are from all over the world and each does his part alone and they are put together. Tim also sent his part in alone. Check out Peter Barber's reaction to this for some background insight to the making of this video. (Peter is the one in the gray pullover.) Tim has a range of about 4 and one half octaves.

People often overlook two more really great a capella artists. Peter Hollens is super and does a great deal of layering. He's done a collaboration with Tim ("Misty Mountain" from "The Hobbit") that is super. Then there's Voctave. Voctave is totally different and sings different stuff--they do a lot of Disney stuff. Voctave has 11 members and they have harmonies that are literally out of this world. With Voctave, try their Disney Princess Medley and their Great Movie Medley (a tribute to John Williams).

One of the great things about this collaboration is that it took everything you might have thought this would be i.e. a bass fest and turned it on its head. All these guys including Tim get to show off their range even though they give plenty of bass. As someone who's listened to a lot of Home Free and Tim's solo work it's amazing how he's always pushing himself musically. And before this one I had only seen a couple of videos with the other guys but I'll be looking for more. Also, you should check out Peter's reaction channel. I love his thoughtful analysis of the music and videos.

So glad you're reacting to The Bass Gang now. They are so awesome and growing and getting better with each release. They were so excited to get to do this collaboration with Tim. You are correct in that they are located all around the world, and they have never met in person, but that is likely changing soon. Yes, all of these guys are multi-talented. I hope you also take the time to check them out individually as well. Peter is a professional opera singer and also does reactions here on KZbin, including breaking down Bass Gang songs/videos (and check out his awesome video he did solo for Enemy). Tomi has a whole album out and the man has an incredible range utilizing inhale bass notes all the way up to whistle notes. Bobby is big on TikTok and has done a lot of collaborations with people/groups. Marwan is the youngest and he's going to be a force to be reckoned with. He's already putting out stellar arrangements, has the vocals, and is a great beat boxer. And yes, he is under 21....maybe still 19, not sure....but he is in Egypt so I'm not sure the drinking laws there, but still, it's simultaneously hilarious and adorable. Also, as a Texan, I accept and welcome your use of y'all. 😁 I'm definitely looking forward to more reactions to them.

[@MBP235]

I have a feeling that bass singers have a new hobby... Let's sing some tenor to knock everyone out of the chair 😂 And my favourite sentence to describe this video from Bass Gang: MARWAN ATE THE ROSE 😂😂

[@carinarodebak9419]

In the whole video there is one! tenor. At the end there is a very small cameo by Casper Fox. A guy kneeling in front of Tomi P, acting if he is proposing. A very talented tenor from Denmark, who moved to Czech Republic to be near his good friend Tomi P and study bass technique (sic), which mean this high tenor now can do sub harmonics and get down there. He acts as business manager to Bass Gang, which is why he earned a cameo. None of the totally 6 singers you can see here stay in their lane, they can all be totally over the place. All Bass Gang singers have their own channels where they do incredible solo work. You are not entering a rabbit hole, but a whole warren. Then they all collaborate with other awesome artist. You have a lot of fun music exploring in front of you. My favourite is Mad World with yet another guest bass Elliott Robinson, who can go down even lower than any of these guys all in pure chest voice. Enjoy!!

[@gracetheatre23]

I have been looking forward to you reacting to The Bass Gang and I'm glad that day is finally here!! They are such an underrated group so I agree, they should be included in the top acapella groups because they are so talented. And you are right, they all filmed this in different locations (Peter and Bobby are in the U.S, Marwan is in Egypt and I don't remember off the top of my head where Tomi is from but he is somewhere in Europe I think), they haven’t met up in person yet to film a video but hopefully, that will happen soon! You should definitely check out their cover of Centuries next, that is my top favorite song that they have ever done. Also, all of them have solo channels and they have done covers on those I would definitely recommend going down that rabbit hole too! I would recommend either Marwan's cover of Moment of Silence or Peter's cover of Enemy. Both of them did such a great job with those songs and they will probably break you too xD Thank you for the great reaction as always friend❤

[@nancyholter5646]

I was anticipating a wonderful reaction from you and you did not disappoint. I think the fact that Tim sang 'up' was them all laughing at us. And this wasn't nearly as bassy as I expected when I saw the notification. Tim's solo stuff plus his duets with Peter Hollens will give you a glimpse into his vocal abilities. Quite often the high background stuff in HF is Tim, not Rob, Austin or Adam (Love me Like That, for example). As others have said, you really should watch Peter Barber's reaction. Both for the pure joy he has and for the information he has.

[@jaiherzig833]

It's kinda late, but you gotta do a double feature of Hide and Seek. Voiceplay and Bass Gang did it with the same guest artist, and both videos are incredible!!

[@lrfcowper]

A big piece of advice Tim gives to basses who ask him for pointers is to work on their high range rather than just concentrating on going lower and lower. Tim's voice dropped pretty late in high school. Until then, he was an award-winning tenor. He found all the voice coaching for him as a tenor was still important as his voice dropped. He also worked really hard to retain his high range. He worked as an entertainer on cruise lines for awhile and was literally the utility singer -- the guy who could sing whatever part was needed. His range is pretty similar to Geoff's, though their natural timbre -- where their voice has the most warmth and movement -- is different, and Geoff uses a different technique for his low notes than Tim does. A lot of folks have pointed you toward some songs where you can hear Tim's amazing highs, but you should also be sure to check out some of the songs where he goes really low. Misty Mountains with Peter Hollens has been a standard for this for a while. Brothers in Arms is newer, but fantastic. And a concert version of Your Man (not the official video on their channel (or the Morrison IL concert where he breaks the sound system)) is an absolute must. I'd recommend Russell Wolff Productions channel for good concert recordings. (Once you watch a regular concert version of Your Man, do check out the Morrison IL video. It's hilarious.) Apologies if you've already done any of these. It's hard to check things in the middle of writing a comment.

[@abeldiaz3877]

Did you know Tim was initially trained to be a tenor, but then his voice lowered down to, well, to where we've heard it?

[@lisaseverance6785]

There is one Home Free song that shows off Tim's range that is a big favorite. It's their cover of "Your Man". Originally a Josh Turner song, which is alot of bass. It is an older one but done live in what appears to be a parking garage, all in one take. It's amazing. And yes, Marwan is the baby. Lol. Anyway, Tim claims he was a late bloomer so he sang for quite a while as a tenor. Then when voice got deeper, he still had his upper range. In fact, his advice to those trying to deeper notes is to work on their upper range. Geoff has a beautiful upper range but he doesn't use it as often.

[@mettesrensen6116]

I usually tell reactors to check out the fan video from The Crazy Life Tour , that way they get a taste of the guys fun side

[@shirleykarr560]

Geoff uses his upper ranges a lot in his solo videos. No need for him to go super high in VoicePlay when they've had Earl, Eli, and Cesar, other than the amazing slides like in Little Mermaid Medley, Hoist the Colors, Enemy, and Queen in Five Minutes.

[@lisaseverance6785]

@@shirleykarr560But I want to hear his upper register with the others in Voiceplay. I loved Oogie Boogie mainly because Geoff did go higher. And he looked like he had a blast doing it. Saying there is no need for him to sing higher while with the group is like saying with the group, he can only sing bass. In Home Free, Tim sings anything he may want, even with Rob, Austin and Chance fully capable of singing higher. It just makes me sad when Geoff doesn't get to sing higher with the group.

For some of the most ground-shaking bass notes, I highly recommend watching Bass Gang's version of "Hide and Seek" (Marwan breaks the sound barrier in that one).

[@joyvanderveer2282]

The Bass Gang has actually never met in person only on Zoom and such. They are from different countries and so have not been able to get together yet. It is amazing what they have been able to do with each other. By the way, they all think that Tim is one of the best ever bass singers simply because of his control and his range. They all blew my mind with this song. Oh and Yes Marwan is "underage" and the baby of the group and is teased about it so he had fun with it in this video.

[@allsopstopfire908]

If you want to hear Tim’s range I suggest you watch Austin and Tim singing My Maria in Austin’s backyard. He will blow your mind.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but if you do the Bass Gang version of Mad World, the featured guest (Elliott Robinson) was actually a part of Home Free as their bass singer for a little under a year, before Tim joined. Where Tim uses chest fry and Geoff uses subharmonics, anything you hear from Elliott is pure chest voice. If you go back to Home Free's albums from 2009 and 2010 (some of which are available as audio here on KZbin), that's Elliott singing bass.

Tim's range is G0 to D5; his base range is lower than Geoff's. I think both Tim and Bobby hit E1 here. Peter reacted to this and you might want to look at his YT for more info.

[@shirleykarr560]

"A whole group of Geoffs." LOL! You might be ready for Mayday from Home Free now. It's been explained in comments numerous times by a guy who sings bass that the long, thick vocal folds that enable someone to sing that low also allows them access to higher ranges, like baritone and tenor. Yes, Marwan is the baby of the group. He's under 21, which is also the drinking age where he lives in Egypt. Tomi is in Eastern Europe, Peter and Bobby are in the US, and these four have never met in person. It's amazing what they've been able to accomplish.

[@antrazitaj5209]

Your introduction to Tims tenor side. Loved your face at that

[@LynnRamsay]

Great Reaction!! Oh this is nothing for Tim he has a 5+ octave range he can really high or so low he blows speakers ( there is video of it )😂Tim actually helped Geoff to go lower on his range.Yes all bass gang members are all around the world Bobby Bass from Connecticut, Tomi P from the Czech Republic, Marwan Ayman from Egypt, and Peter Barber from Virginia and yes Marwan is 19. You should check out Peters channel for his reaction to this video it’s fun and also check out Misty Mountain Peter Hollens Ft Tim Foust

[@sandychisholm1297]

I love your reactions ❤ Home Free also has a 9 to 5 Live show and they all Beat Box against each other So fun. Also another Live show Guilty Pleasure is so funny 🤯🤯❤️❤️

[@gilliandrysdale5306]

Peter Barber does reactions a lot of them of Voiceplay and Homefree he obviously knows a lot about music as his breakdowns can get very technical but they are so interesting Tim like Geoff can go high as well as low BTW Voiceplay have done a mini of hooked on a feeling ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@karenbliss8719]

OMG!!! Your reactions are phenomenal! Y’all have no idea what Tim does to a lot of us!!!😂😂😂😂

[@Naline1818]

4:06 vibing 4:08 realizing Tim is nailing the high solo part 😂😂😂

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Love your reactions!! Just wanted to give you something New, Duo Hound and the Fox, they collaborate with Adam Chance of Home Free singing Sound of Silence. Then listen to Adam Chance featuring Hound and the Fox Warefaring Stranger these songs are AWESOME

Jen Glatzhofer (not sure I’m spelling this right) is a vocal coach as well as reactor. She says basses often have a huge range-something about being able to thin out thicker vocal chords. So yeah, Avi, Geoff, Tim, etc., all have wild ranges. Tomi’s range is over 6 octaves-he has whistle notes-I mean dude can sing higher than I can. Agree with you that these guys are coming on like a freight train. I got really excited about them from their very first video, even though they were still finding their way and working with much more limited resources than they have now. If you check out Mad World, you might just want to aim the camera at the floor because that’s where you’re gonna be after just a few notes, and you’ll stay there through the rest of the song. It’s the bassiest bass song they’ve done. You should also make a point of checking out their individual channels. All of them have some amazing music. Loved this reaction!!!

[@regangeiger4897]

You'd love their version of "Mad World" as well as the bass singers of TikTok doing "Hoist the Colors."

[@celtzen]

Oh Sweetheart... 1. Yes Tims solo stuff... 2. Mayday... 3. My Maria (Tim and Austin) numbers two and three are interchangeable they are both amazing. - Bass Gang.. yup they are pretty astounding - I'm a dodgy old bat and think Peter is adorable - his reaction to seeing the full video of this is lovely... take care!

[@sylviasargent2727]

You may want to check out Tim's STAY / WILL YOU LOVE ME TOMARROW Tim sings all the parts and will blow your mind. It's all layered in the recording like Jeff sometimes does.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

You will love the catalog of Bass Gang. Each of the members also do solo stuff, as well as singing with the Wellermen, another bass group.

[@annschafer9343]

Home Free cover of MAYDAY is a must see

[@FamilyGuyRoks6]

15:45 you're spot on, he is 18 and the 'baby' of the group so the juicebox is because of that. such a funny little easter egg in the background :)

[@MelissaThompson432]

Tim (Foust rhymes with "joust") has a stunning range and a beautiful timbre. 13:38 that's what I'm talking about. Tim Foist is my desert island music pick. Never mind the volleyball, just a solar powered music player 😉 and Tim Foust for me.

[@frankster1477]

Marwan (Mar-wan) is the baby of the group--19-- and has a phenomenal range. He was 17 when they started, and does a lot of the arranging, engineering and video stuff and of course the beat boxing. He's also a Moslem and lives in Egypt. Tomi lives in Chekia. He has a 6-octave range. Peter and Bobby are in the USA in Philadelphia and the Boston area respectively. They have never all met in person, although they hope to get together in Checkia this summer. Peter is a professional operatic bass and does in-depth vocal analysis/reactions and did one on this that I think you would really enjoy. They were really thrilled to work with Tim. Definitely do "Mad World" with Elliot Michael Robinson. He is a deep natural chest bass. Fasten your seatbelt.

[@doloresburns3301]

Surprise!! Usually we suggest you wait to react to Mayday because Tim does the whole thing in his tenor voice. He also will knock your socks off with his Do-wop album and his cover of Beach Boys In My Room. He has a five plus octave range and he can do equally well in all the registers. You would also really like Avi Kaplan's solo pieces...he left PTX to go solo. Love your reactions!
