Really excited to watch Justin Fields and the Bears take the field this week for SNF

Wild to think how there are Dance Gavin Dance fans in 2023

Like I wonder what that life is like

Sounded pretty awesome until the whiny predictable vocals come in. I'm so tired of that sound now. It's such a blatant box tick to their songwriting, sucks the soul out of it for me. The other vocalist sounds good though, guessing it's Andrew? Can't they just use him lol

The other vocalist (and guitarist) is Andrew Wells, originally from Eidola.
Song good, Tilian bad.

I would pirate, or listen to a fan-made video, if I wanted to, I won't give them any profit from listening until Tillian is out.

"Really excited to watch Justin Fields and the Bears take the field this week for SNF"

That's cap. Nobody is excited to watch the Bears.

Legit do not know why people like this band so much

DGD commit war crimes

Actually listened and Andrew Wells sounds great on this ... why couldn't they just boot Tillian and stick with him or bring in another vocalist to freshen up the sound. Could have even brought back Kurt who sounds better than ever. I am so bored with this band.

@Monotone no cap! I am not a true bears fans so there is no hard feelings seeing them lose, but I like Fields and wanna see him succeed.

The way this band writes is so predictable - 4 Mess lines, a Tilian chorus, and some Andrew sprinkled in for good measure. It’s just so tired.

This thread is now an NFL thread. Go Jaguars!

Also “this shows a heavier direction for the band” most of Acceptance Speech and Mothership is heavier than this. This is what they’ve sounded like for 4 straight albums.

Fuck this band, I used to love them too.

I used to be the biggest DGD fan, but I'd grown tired of Tillian before any of the accusations came in, dude has no soul to his voice or songwriting.

I love how dgd is becoming synonymous with nfl talk.
It warms my heart :]

Andrew Wells isn’t really the best dude either… there are accusations against him also

OKC Thunder got a big 20 point win over the Bulls to open the season last night. Team looks good.

Jon Mess isnt really the best dude either...

Will Levis is presumably starting this weekend, that should be pretty entertaining too!

Like you gotta see how the Titans lose THIS time, it's usually pretty interesting.

"Like I wonder what that life is like"

Probably 20 year old car hops working at sonic?

levis should have an interesting day against the falcons defense. ridder will continue to show off his mastery of the art of the turnover. the game will be interesting in the same way that a derailment is. falcons win 3-2 on a walkoff by the god younghoe koo. falcons will immediately be invited to join the B1G West.

song is tight.

lmao as I was reading that I was immediately thinking "we Iowa now?"

Extend Brian Ferentz

Oh also song sucks

"Will Levis is presumably starting this weekend, that should be pretty entertaining too!"
Will Levis, my least favorite prospect of all the QBs in the last draft

Mayo Man comin whether you want him to or not

fuck this band

bruh, can we like....not report on them on this site?

unless the article title is Rapist + Rapist Sympathizer Band In The War Machine :p

Will Swan isnt really the best dude either...

tbh it IS kinda funny when DGD fans put up articles thinking people will just check the music or whatnot and then the community ain't for it at all lol

^ true lmfao

Just like the last song the lyrics are all about them getting cancelled

lmao oh won't someone think of the poor sexual assault apologists??

"Just like the last song the lyrics are all about them getting cancelled"

Oh god, they've taken pages from the Falling in Reverse guide to writing lyrics...

Pistons came damn close to beating the Heat in their opener, we've got some good talent now, is Monty our savior?? Stay tuned

god this song is such bottom tier whinecore. just listen to Circa Survive (RIP) or Hail the Sun. At least they are/were trying.

Tillian is sounding better than ever here, the addition of Andrew is a blessing, Johns throat shredding is awesome. This sounds like the best culmination possible at this point in their career.

The lyrics are definitely an insight to the internal struggles they've had to overcome in the past few years. I'm glad we finally have some perspective on what really went down.

Can't wait to see them live

We're at a point where I think we can agree Hail the Sun's entire career overshadows DGD.

Which I already believed tbf, but nowadays, especially in the wake of Divine Inner Tension, feel like that's like a barely lukewarm take at best

I liked Billy Royalton more but this song is great too, breakdown reminded me of Secret Band. Tilian is the weak link at this point though, i enjoy everything except his super high-pitched vox

"Tillian is sounding better than ever here" - i can factor out my biased fuck tilian persona to say that no he really does not lmfao

“I WANTED TO GROW, I WANTED TO CHANGE”

So, why doesn’t this bitch just admit what he did straightforwardly? Fucking coward

Also,
“I GOT A MILLION MOUTHS TO FEED
MY SEED YOU KNOW I LOVE TO SHARE”

Fuckin trash-ass cunts

Nice bait Epilogue

MarsKid valid, i feel they are a fair comparison though. Dance Gavin Dance have kinda lost steam and passion while Hail the Sun has been around for the majority of the same time and evolved.

Can y'all take yr bullshit out of our sports thread, disgusting

“Tillian is sounding better than ever here, the addition of Andrew is a blessing, Johns throat shredding is awesome. This sounds like the best culmination possible at this point in their career.

That last line made me want to puke.

Lol even their artwork dude had enough of them.

I've never liked the band with Tillian, all allegations aside. If only Johnny or Kurt rejoined the band...

Then the band would still be full of shitty washed up people

@MeatSalad Sure, but the McBook thief can sing at least. Plus, I don't think the band would get the same amount of hate with either Kurt or Johnny.

Yet another embarrassing blunder from a band full of perverts who are past their expiry by 4-5 albums. Awful music. Those nerds need to disband and find a fresh musical output because this ain't it anymore.

Tillian's problematic and likes being around underage folk, is Nickelodeon hiring?

"@MeatSalad Sure, but the McBook thief can sing at least"

Nah this narrative needs to die. Jonnyboi has been overdoing it on his past several appearances on whatever music project he uses to attempt to cling to relevance. He's got a great voice but just goes entirely overboard with it and it's grating as hell. Gimme Kurt any day of the week.

^ this is also ignoring the fact that Craig himself has a list of allegations that would make the rest of the band blush lol

I can understand Tilian obviously but why do people hate Mess and Swan? This is a legitimate question, I'm not trying to sound ignorant or insensitive.

The band continues to support Tilian and his behavior, thus they are all shitty humans by proxy

Yeah, letting Tilian back in cemented them all as douchebags but people were ragging on Mess and Swan just as hard when all this information first started coming out about Til.

I was unaware if those two have also had a history of predatory behavior

I had pizza for lunch today, burnt my tongue 😖

Can't argue that. I guess it's too late for them to make a change at this point. Oh, well. First 5 albums were fun times (including WISIRO).

"I can understand Tilian obviously but why do people hate Mess and Swan? This is a legitimate question, I'm not trying to sound ignorant or insensitive"

When he was 31 he and his girl announced their relationship at her 18th bday party

Mess

Yikes

I’ve invested in the war machine
You’re a piece of shit who doesn’t care
I’ve got millions of mouths to feed
My seed you know, I love to share
Endless violence is my only vice
It’s my skin suit I never wear
(Skin suit I never wear)
I’m always grinning with my pearly whites
At your blue eyes and long hair

Blue eyes pearly white dragon

Icky

Tillian is so boring as a vocalist now. They need a fresh sound. Part of what made DGD stand the test of time for so long is so many different eras of singers. Not to mention he's a complete asshole.

these dudes still trying huh.

Fell off after Happiness

as soon as Kurt left this band should have ended.

Instead of getting a haircut, Tillian should’ve gotten hit by a bus

That stupid bitch

"Part of what made DGD stand the test of time for so long is so many different eras of singers." [2] Their first 4 albums sound so unique from each other, a lot of that being in part to who was in the band at the time.

it is killing you people that this band hasn't been cancelled yet lol

^ don’t see what good “cancelling” would do. They have fans that’ll support either way. Shit people are gonna be shit until they decide to put in the effort, cancelling isn’t going to fix them.

nah just tillian

Legit do not know why people like this band so much

Because they were rad up until Mothership.

until/including Mothership*

Hot take: Andrew sounds bad here. Band needs to stop

Jon Mess dated an 18 yr old when he was 30, but the same people who cancelled Tilian actively ignore that

The band continues to support Tilian and his behavior, thus they are all shitty humans by proxy"

Nailed it. Band is infested with scumbags and they need to stop

cancel this cancel that can you believe they cancelled Seinfeld ?

im also not a huge andrew fan, he's pretty hit or miss with dgd and this is a miss tbh.

yeah the jon shit gets hit with the "not technically illegal" and like yeah sure but still big gross lmfao, dude was at her hs graduation apparently!?!? big gross

The band continues to support Tilian and his behavior, thus they are all shitty humans by proxy [3]

I'm just here to hate tbh, maybe they'll write a song about me

Kick out Tillian and bring back Jonny for DBM III

the lyrics are a choice lmfao good lord

Geets are pretty cool, clean vox suck ass. Mess is Mess. Song is very uninspired as a whole. This band hasn't made a good album since Happiness.

Remember when Tilian melted down at Matt Mingus for drinking ne they forced him to go to rehab?

That was minuscule compared to everyone else in the band. Free Mingus.

If they had called their quits after DBM2 they could've had one of the best legacies in post-hardcore, they've been living off of fangirls ever since, it's because of their fanbases obsessive behaviour that they can get away with all their scummy things.

The case with Tilian just showcases that in their opinion you can get back to it without any repercussions after some serious allegations, some of them you have admitted to, so doesn't that just send the message that it's never been taken seriously?

Allowing him back to the stage and shouting these perverted creepy shite lyrics is truly fucked up

The cannibal corpse of swancore

"Will Levis is presumably starting this weekend, that should be pretty entertaining too!"

As a Falcons fan this is at least exciting for me. I get to feel optimistic about the Falcons this year which is a rare occurrence for me. I'll take the hopium wherever I can get it

When a member of a Podcast I listened to ended up doing some really shitty things the other members, his long time friends, instead of sweeping it under the rug kicked his ass off, got a new cohost, and moved on with their lives.

It's really not that hard to do the right thing and just get rid of the shithead, but bands like DGD act like holding on to Tilian is paramount to their survival. They could have just given him the boot and avoided this persistent narrative. At the very least it would have breathed some new life into their stagnant sound.

On the plus side at least they didn't pay Tilian a fully guaranteed $230 Million to not ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶o̶t̶b̶a̶l̶l̶ sing.

"I had pizza for lunch today, burnt my tongue"

Unironically, no one gives a fuck

new wolf & bear album clears newer DGD tbh

"If they had called their quits after DBM2 they could've had one of the best legacies in post-hardcore, they've been living off of fangirls ever since, it's because of their fanbases obsessive behaviour that they can get away with all their scummy things."

legacy don't pay the bills homie

i like their newer stuff in comparison to most modern phxc, but its gotten very samey from Artificial Selection onwards. Seemed like both musically and morally the right move to oust Tilian to reinvigorate the band's sound

"new wolf & bear album clears newer DGD tbh"
Ye anything except for DGD is an automatic 4

@Ectier is that a jon or tilian part?

@MonotoneCulprit "On the plus side at least they didn't pay Tilian a fully guaranteed $230 Million to not ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶f̶o̶o̶t̶b̶a̶l̶l̶ sing."

can you elaborate?

Keyshawn Dotson

@calc yeah I know, I would think that they're good enough musicians to have managed to carry on with different projects

with that said that's just what would've been perfect in my opinion, but after last year, they really should've called it's quits

these guys used to be Sputnik's darlings, what happened

They used to abuse drugs and that before, now they're more like sexual predators, that's what's changed

Yeah with new Closure In Moscow and Wolf & Bear out this weekend (not too mention Kurt still killing it in Gold Necklace and elsewhere) there's absolutely no reason to listen to DGD anymore. I had a good ten year run of absolutely loving this band but holy fuck their sound is so played out and their fanbase are fucking creepy and weird as shit. Mothership should have been their last album.

Sounds good to me. Why do the sputnik nerds dislike this band so much? Y'all talk like they've committed war crimes

I mean, a band gets a lot less grace and credit when they knowingly keep someone with sexual assault allegations in the band

^ especially when dude beat-around-the-bush-admitted to it and then went to therapy for only a couple months to “work on it”


Plus, they’re corny and wrote a song jerking themselves off over the whole thing and how they’ll rise up from it, like, really pulling the Tim Lambreastis card is gonna make them seem brave and like victims
