NO NOT JON MESS AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

Hopefully he sounds more like he did on DBM than the self-titled.

not post hardcore

Ya I actually prefered Will's screams over Mess's.
@anotherdeadjuliet: What would you condsider them then?

some sort of pop rock or punk, there isn't anything hardcore about them

So it's more of the original lineup without Jonny Craig still..

There isn't anything hardcore about a lot of post-hardcore.

I'm stoked. Always liked Mess' screams and Lodge had some sweet bass licks back in the day, also really liked his tone.

"There isn't anything hardcore about a lot of post-hardcore."




Well, used to be.

Sweet this should be good. Craig is a penis anyways, I would be unhappy if he rejoined.

cool beans.

as a fan of Happiness should I be disappointed?

I too am a fan of happiness

can this band just break up

Kurt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jonny Craig. Jonny Craig is a better singer but Kurt makes the band soooooo much better.

And I hope Will and Jon Mess switch up screams, because I liked them both to be honest. I hope they turn more proggy then they did before and not regress D:

hoping for more progression ala happiness. that album is by far the best thing theyve done

Original guitarist Jon Mess?

Jonny Craig is amazing. Emarosa rule and this band sucks.

Dangit.

Happiness was their best outing, Will>Mess

I like this line-up I think.

I have high hopes for this

i dunno

cool

Jon Mess fucking sucks. Fuck him.

This is a great move. Also I don't think Jon Mess was ever the guitarist. Maybe back up for lives shows. This band just seems to keep getting better.

i dunno either

"Original guitarist Jon Mess?"
Ya I didn't put that it got changed...

well yeah i didnt like the idea of a new guy taking zac parts, but i like the new guitarist work with kurt on no not the constant so its cool. idk why mess is back but if he is sick as they used to say maybe he will leave again, so dont worry people. lol

my god these guys are schizophrenic with their damn lineup....

Dance Gavin Dance lineup change?

Shocker.

WE ARE ALL SO FULL OF FUCKING SHIT!

Hmm I wouldn't consider this band anything other than post-hardcore but I'm no expert.

Also I would be happy about mess returning but the only thing I really liked about him was when he did some sick vocal inter-play with craig on songs like And I told them i invented times new roman. But ill probably get their new album anyways, always been a solid band.

Emarosa are kinda shit

"Jonny Craig is amazing. Emarosa rule and this band sucks."

no.

and also i too have high hopes for this too. DBM line up = perfection. Jon Mess was awesome in his own way. his lyrics were crazy as hell and even though his screams didn't sound like what you wanted them too sound, that's what made them awesome and it made the band complete as it was comprised of completely different sounds in glorious harmony.
emarosa is cool...but not better. jonny is awesome, but i kinda hate him.

just follow him on twitter a couple days and realize how shitty he is

Never listened to these guys, but Matt Bayles could make this awesome.

Self Titled >>>>> Happiness>>>>>>>>>>>Johnny Craig

swap the first two

nah I like the self-titled best too.

I am unfamiliar with this band and their work. Pick one song I should listen to.

Instead just listen to all of Downtown Battle Mountain. After the first song you'll know whether or not to keep listening.

I heard the rumor but I'm glad its official, and did what exactly Mess is sick with?

lyme disease I think.. Is he playing guitar too? :S

nah, I don't believe him to be a guitarist, never said anything about it on the Line-ups in the CD booklets

Oh wait (wikipedia):
"On May 21st, 2010, former members Jon Mess and Eric Lodge rejoined the band. Josh Benton, former guitarist and band mate of Kurt Travis in of No Not Constant, joined the band replacing Dan Snook. "

So maybe we should incorporate this into the article? Jon Mess obviously isn't the new dgd guitarist.

"just follow him on twitter a couple days and realize how shitty he is"

yea...he really seems like a huge douchebag.

Jon Mess has to be one of the worst screamers I've ever heard

Jon Mess is just raw as hell, don't see how he's anything worse than tons of vocalists that people on here claim are good...

yeah I'm with witch, he's not as bad as the Sky eats airplane douche

Thank God Johnny Craig did not rejoin. Talk about a self centered asshole. DGD has been better without him and Emarosa took a turn for the worst when he joined. Not the biggest fan of Jon Mess, but we'll see where this lineup change takes the band.. could be interesting

I've met jonny on more than one occasion and I think it's safe to say he carries a big ego..At least Kurt isn't a big doucher and in my opinion, I think Kurt's voice fits much better with DGD and the way their sound has progressed.

What's funny is Jonny was tolerable in Dance Gavin Dance, but he completely ruined Emarosa, and everyone either pretends that DGD is better w/o him, and that Emarosa is better w/ him.

i cant believe you actually think mess is good lol

His screams are raw as shit dude. I like dat.

his vocals are a mess

i enjoyed DBM

mess had nothing to do with it

lol

Jon Mess was cool, his vocals added the perfect amount of dirt to their sound. Too smooth without him.

jon mess listens to skramz so he's ok in my books

orly

jon mess skramz like a skramzos
