Sometimes when you're in a band the band members can't see the forest for the trees. Sometimes there's arguments over who sings what, who's going to take which solo, which songs are we doing/not doing, etc. etc. etc. What your band should do Robin is bring in a bunch of people to listen to BOTH of you taking turns singing and tell the band who they prefer on which song, or better yet, record a good demo and put it on Bandmix so we can give you our opinions who sounds best on which song. All four people in our band sing. I sing most of the tunes but there's some where my bass playing suffers where it's better if one of the other guys sings. We try and pick the optimum combination for each song. On some songs the instrumentation is more importat so we pick the person who can sing the song without impairing his instrument. On some songs for some reason somebody sings better in a certain key. The other guys sing a little higher register than me so we take that into consideration. The bottom line if your band can't agree on something get an unbiased outside opinion. Standing up for yourself is great but it would be better for people outside the band to confirm your opinions.
