Donny Donovan and Carolyn Hilliard are partners that make up the dark indie pop band Dinosoul. Donny and Carolyn, who also work together in various projects around Pittsburgh, came up with the name when Donny got a haircut that made them look like a Stegosaurus (BTRtoday).
The pair have completely different vocal styles - but between the two of them, it makes for a really powerful sound. Their web bio describes it best. The joint contrasting vocals, one lower and raspy, the other ethereal and airy, adds another element to draw the listener into the group s emotional songs and messages. -Dinosoul
