It's not our vocalist trying to sound like someone, it's his natural singing voice - which I admit is unusual these days - not sure where you got King Crimson from, but he's been compared to Morrissey before, so I guess that is a step up... He reminds me more of Justin Hayward most of the time.
As far as trying to 'sound like the old guys' - we are some of the old guys ;)
Keyboard player was in an early incarnation of Marillion, and the rest of us are nearly as old..
We write what comes out, our strongest influences come from that period..
Sorry it's not your cup of tea, and you aren't 'digging it'..

Thanks for taking the time to comment though.
Cheers
