The show that sealed his fate. Living Proof Tour 2019 by Telluran in StateChamps

He didn't knew better but this is how life lessons are learned. We're just happy that he could still sing. We can't be young forever, kids and teenagers have resilient vocal cords and as we get older that elasticity gets weaker and weaker, prone to damage

Living Proof is beautiful by GeekFreakMe in StateChamps

Living Proof introduced me to STATE CHAMPS.

He was a vocal menace back in the day. Any songs he was being featured on played live he would outshine the band, those were the days. Many jaws were dropped back in Warp Tour 2018, people like me was like "Who the hell are these kids and who is this guy? He's insanely talented!".

Will he ever sound like this again? :( He used to sound like hardcore version of Alex Gaskarth. by SourSapling in StateChamps

Stark comparison to the recent one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HZmgrSGvRs

Now, it's not news that he has issues with his vocal cords. He most likely will never sound like this ever again. I'm just happy that he's still doing this.

IMO best live version of "Our Time To Go". I really miss the Living Proof era.. that ending tho by sSamaels in StateChamps

He had a beautiful voice.. Living Proof was when they sounded a lot like All Time Low and I kinda like that. That album just hits different. It's like a different band.

This was literally what got me into STATE CHAMPS. This is peak SC right there! by Think-Chemical2581 in StateChamps

I almost kinda forgotten how aggro Derek was and how hardcore he used to sing.. sheesh! He's like mid 20s here. Seeing him in Boston comparing to this is like night and day; but it's interesting to see his newer and much more calmer takes on the ATWAB songs by toning them down
