Guy is imo not a total vocal group, Aaron & Damien were the main vocalists.
Teddy's schtick was the production/instrumentation-side when recording/performing.

Yeah, i don't know what to call them then. The majority of the group sings exclusively and one plays instruments + produces, while in Cameo for example it was a rerversed situation, with the late Wayne Cooper and Tomi Jenkins as exclusive singers.
