this is a pretty underdeveloped style of post hardcore though. you have to be fucking kidding me. there are literally hundreds of generic bands making poppy, vocal centric post-hardcore with a metalcore edge.

yeah but that's generalising dgd to a large extent. I agree with that statement, but id say the majority of them sound nothing like dgd. and I have never thought of dgd having a metalcore edge once.

yeah no metalcore influence at all. what you're basically saying is they don't sound like other bands, but what i think you mean is that they do a better job than other bands, which is true.

no I really do mean that to me they don't sound like other bands. just give me an example of whatever bands you are on about.
and yeah that's a good point about the metalcore thing .

dude are you really gonna argue that there isn't metalcore influence bc lol
i'm not saying they sound like one of the hundreds of underoath clones (different shitty clusterfuck altogether) but the influence is there. even the end of "need money" has that breakdown going on. the bottom line is that i still agree they are doing enough different things to remain interesting in a crowded and generally terrible scene.

saosin, the fall of troy (they might be just as good actually), chiodos, tides of man, emery, etc.

see, out of that list id only compare them to the fall of troy. I don't get any of the other comparisons.
|

i think all of those are pretty appropriate but subjectivity, etc.
i was just trying to say DBM1 was the shit.

Subjectivity is a bitch

dem swan guitar parts are the only reason they sound good. mess and mingus are also important but without swan they would sound so much more run-of-the-mill.

When I saw DGD on the tour for this album Jonny Craig went "This next songs called Need Money, how fucking ironic."

the guitar work in this band Is pretty stellar. on acceptance speech will ended up using that technique animals as leaders use all the time. the slapping shit or whatever it is

I don't remember a single guitar part from Acceptance Speech and I heard it like 10 times
Was it technical? I don't fucking know
|

There are plenty of ''Post-Hardcore'' bands that use somewhat widdly widdly, or technical if you will, guitar riffs like Dance Gavin Dance does which is what sets them apart quite a bit like sniper stated above. I'm not saying the rest of the band doesn't bring anything unique, but for me it's mainly the riffs that set them apart from the rest.
