Over the past few months the fans of We Are The In Crowd have been sitting on the edge of their seats, biting their nails, and bouncing their legs up and down in anticipation. There have been rumors surrounding the possibility of singer and guitarist, Jordan Eckes leaving the band. At first, fans became suspicious due to Jordan’s lack of appearance at events and recording sessions. For the WATIC Family, the possibility of Jordan’s departure became even more real once photos of Mike Ferri’s wedding were released, without Jordan appearing in them. Soon after, Jordan changed his Twitter biography, eliminating his social media affiliation with We Are The In Crowd. Although, as of June 8th, the band has not confirmed whether or not Jordan will be participating in future We Are The In Crowd endeavors.
With this in mind, other possibilities have been discussed amongst fans regarding the evolution of We Are The In Crowd. For example, when Taylor Jardine was injured on tour back in 2011, Cameron Hurley, a guitarist in WATIC, sang with Jordan for a few shows. It is an option for Cameron to take Jordan’s place on future albums, keeping the vocal duality of the band alive. The unique vocal contrast between the female voice of Taylor and the male voice of Jordan makes We Are The In Crowd stand out among other bands. For this reason, adding Cameron’s voice to future record would keep the original We Are The In Crowd compilation together, while demonstrating each member’s range and talents. However, with the increasing popularity of female fronted bands, We Are The In Crowd could follow this trend and decide to feature Taylor as the lead singer. The possibilities are endless, and whichever path the band chooses to take, I am excited to see what We Are The In Crowd creates. I wish the band, and Jordan good luck in all that they do!
