A real toe tapper.

You may not have heard of this group. Can't imagine how that's possible. Anyway, here is a sample of their incredible talent. BTW, this song is sung a capella. No musical back-up.

Yeah, they are awesome. That song is from 2015. Unfortunately the guy with the beard, Avi Kaplan, left to pursue his own group recently. Hearing his new songs I suspect the strain on his voice prompted it, singing so low, as his new songs are at a higher octave than his super low bass. He said he felt they would not give him any artistic freedom. His replacement isn’t nearly as dynamic.
Here he is with some takes on his bass notes he was consistently using in Pentatonix

They still sound awesome.

I heard the reason he quit was because he couldn't handle all the traveling they did.

He didn’t like the fact there just no breaks, but he is touring with his new group now, but he has control over the breaks. Here is a little more-


The music is different—as is the scarcity of his trademark basso profundo vocals—but Kaplan says his fans have embraced this more personal side.

“It’s been amazing,” he tells PEOPLE. “Leaving the group and putting out a new EP, I prepared myself for the worst—people either being really mad at me for leaving, or really weirded out that I was doing something totally different from what I was doing before. But with the fanbase that we have, they really do know who we are as individuals, and I think that’s why they’re such diehard fans. They really know me and where my heart’s at. So when my [solo] music came out, the most popular opinion was that it really felt like me. That’s all I could have asked for, regardless of how well it did or anything like that. All I wanted was for it to come off as true and honest, because that’s what it is for me. It’s honestly who I am.”

Personally, I still like pentatonix, but not enough to seek out their new music, as I would before.
