I'm *begging* for some more post-hardcore stuff on this channel! Maybe even some modern metalcore!

You know it's a banger when you close your eyes listening to it and when you open them you see Rob bobbing his head the exact same way as you.

Ain't no effect on Tilian's vocals. Man's just built different. This band is in my top 3 of all time. Nonstop certified bangers. You gotta check out some songs with their past vocalists. Blue Dream is an absolute masterpiece classic with Johnny Craig, a very soulful/R&B sounding guy. Carl Barker is a fan favorite with Kurt Travis, a very poppy vocalist with a little edge. They sound almost like completely different bands, but their guitarist Will Swan and Drummer Matt Mingus have held down the fort from day one, so their foundations are solid as hell.

Wow, I've never heard of them, but they fricking DESTROY.

100% facts.

It warms my heart seeing so many people find DGD through reactions like this. :) They’re a great band.

I didn't expect you to dig this genre... there's a massive amount of music a lot like this.

DGD is probably my favorite band ever lol. So fucking hype you reacted to this banger!

He likes the Weedly-weedly😂

yesss i’m so glad you liked this one!! i’m constantly trying to put people onto it 😂 and i really appreciate that you did the research on the vocal/screaming instead of waiting for the comments to correct you!!

Didn't expect Dance Gavin dance lol, please do more

New band imma have to check out

I love Tillian’s voice. He has his own solo project that’s worth looking up, Dose is a banger I have on repeat

For me dance gavin dance is one of those bands that i dont really listen to like that, but whenever i happen to listen to one of their songs i fuck with it. Btw if you like that high pitch shit then try listening to King for a Day by Pierce the Veil

Isles and Glaciers for both on one track lol

I was never a big fan of early DGD but I saw them live at Vans Warped Tour in 2017 and loved them ever since. Dudes are crazy talented. I recommend every song off the Mothership album. My favorite would be Chucky vs. The Giant Tortoise.

This song goes so unbelievable hard! Glad you checked it out, I've been obsessed with it for a solid 2 months since I first heard it.

Thanks for the new band to listen to. I fuck with em.

If Rob likes unique voices I feel like he would enjoy listening to something by Billy Talent, that lead singer's voice isn't like anyone elses I've heard.

They have a crazy good discography. They have had 3 separate lead clean vocalists. The band started in 2005 with Jonny Craig as their vocalist (think beautiful soulful voice), then they let Jonny go when he had trouble with drugs and missed the first song of one of the concerts. Then they had Kurt Travis he is an amazing vocalist and they had him for 2 albums before they decided they were going to try their luck with Jonny Craig again when he said he was clean, they released an album and then went on tour which kinda triggered Jonny to fall back into addiction thus causing him to be kicked out yet again. Which leads us into their current singer, Tilian Pearson (the singer in the song, and yes he sounds like this live too!) Recently they did add a new singer Andrew Wells (also very talented) as a backup clean vocalist as well as second guitar. Their harsh vocalist is Jon Mess for every single album except "Hapiness" where their lead guitarist took the role of harsh vocals. If you want to listen to a song with a similar vibe with the same vocalist I would suggest checking out one of their songs called "Inspire the Liars". It has the same lineup of band members and is from arguably their best album. If you want to hear something a little heavier, but still with the same line up of members (+ Andrew Wells) I would suggest their newest single "War Machine." If you would like to hear something from them by a different lead vocalist I would suggest something like "And I Told Them I Invented Times New Roman" which has Jonny Craig as the lead vocalist. Or if you would like to hear something with Kurt Travis I would suggest something like "Me and Zoloft Get Along Just Fine" or "Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most" Sorry for such the long comment, this band has a long history and so it's difficult to fit it into short and concise comment haha.

My favorite band of all time. Someone tell him to listen to Jonny and Kurt era too tho lmao. This guy gets it. Thank you for the wonderful reaction. 🥲❤

Best unexpected reaction

Honestly happy you're reacting to DGD. As soon as I saw how much you liked Panic at the Disco's "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies," I knew you would probably be a fan of post-hardcore bands like DGD. If you're looking for similar vocal/music styles look into these bands: Hail the Sun, A Lot Like Birds, Kurt Travis, Circa Survive. "Human Target Practice" by Hail the Sun or "Vanity's Fair" by A Lot Like Birds are bangers. "Desperate" by Kurt Travis is also top tier for just beautiful vocals, and was also the lead singer of A Lot Like Birds.

If you like the higher pitched voice, absolutely check out Coheed and Cambria. "Welcome Home" or "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth" are both good introductions.

Bro, your next song from them gotta be Inspire the Liars. I feel like you'd fuck with that one HARD

Welcome to the DGD fam…you’ll love it

Their guitarist Will Swan is nuts, and hes occasionally a 3rd vocalist doing screams or rapping. His noodly play is really influential to the current post-hardcore scene as a whole (swancore)

Bro this is one of the best first DGD reactions I've seen! I love how you dove into the singing and instrumentation. Also, that shit "Bad motha fucka" had me rolling 😂 More DGD!

This is one of my favorite dgd reacts- and I’ve seen them all😂

AHHH! Dance Gavin dance is SOOOOO good! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! I recommend anything off of their album mothership, it’s absolutely amazing

WTF how did i miss this one.... YES, MOR DGD!

Subscribed because of this one!! Thank you!!!!!

Glad you caught the panned recording they do off rip, it's one of their more unique aspects to the group sonically. Most bands in rock and metal genres tend to pan rhythm guitars doubled to the left and right side with the lead guitar right up the middle in the mix. The variety of the different parts you are hearing in each ear comes from Will Swan's mixing technique where he pans a guitar on each side and has them both playing complimenting, catchy, but still complex riffs. He switches from making it poppy and fun to super heavy with really solid interplay. DGD in terms of the instrumental is literally metal/harcore/emo if it used very little distortion and a lot of funk influence.

Among the many unique parts of the band we can't miss out on Jon Mess' incredible screams though, once you get into reading the lyrics you'll realize this guy is not only one of the most consistent, solid screamers out there and has a lot of rap influence in his flow, but he is also an absolute nutcase in the best way. There is a constant interplay of the clean vocalist singing about something while Jon is screaming the most unhinged random bullshit (that somehow manages to be deep) its really fun. Some of the clean singers have been very much capable of screaming as well even though you rarely get it in their music, Tilian has a scream on Prisoner, Andrew Wells (the rhythm guitarist and backing singer who is now the lead singer since Tilian's departure) has once or twice stepped in and taken some of Jon's verses when he needed to rest his voice, and Will Swan (who also raps) had an entire album while Jon was absent from the band where he took over screaming while playing his guitar parts.

I think you'll like this song by Minus the Bear - 'Pachuca Sunrise'. I believe they got prominent around the same time as DGD.

DGD is so good, glad to have you aboard the DGD Fam. DGD has so many great songs, I recommend their song “Synergy” it’s more newer but pretty great. Tilian the high sounding singer has his own solo music as well. I specifically like “HeartFelt” “cocky” “Holy Water” and “Anthem”

Dance Gavin Dance great band, and they have a POC in the band!!!

Loved your reactions to white music so far, bangers all of them Electric Callboy- We GotThe Moves is a must do 🔥🧨

Never heard this band before but suprised me there dope

Probably the only band i was really into in 2007-2008 in hs and still really like. They always have a funky little breakdown in the songs (where you rewinded) BOY do i miss the DBM days

After watching your rage reactions, I just knew a lil math rock and djent-y music was your vibe. I recommend more DGD, specifically Inspire The Liars and Evaporate (personal fav). But I'd also recommend the band Issues and the song "Flojo" from them.

Knowing the kind of rock music you’ve mentioned liking in the past I’m not at all surprised that you vibe with these guys I’m more surprised I didn’t think of them sooner as a group you’d like

DGD is so good. If we are heading in the direction of metalcore, one of my favorites is Tonight - One Morning Left.

Never heard the band before. Match Metal/Hardcore deluxe, I have no complains

I’m so happy you gave DnD the time of day! Check out evaporate by them

Hip hop has a spot for DGD! I’ve been rapping since I was 15, I’m 30 now and I pull inspiration from this band left and right! So much versatility and talent in this group! Easily one of my favorite bands, gotta check out their whole discography, they’re amazing!

Did not expect a DGD track on here!! Been a long time fan of them. I think you’ll like Synergy and Head Hunter, they’re a bit newer in their discography. Groovy. Anything off Mothership is a certified bop. Tree city sessions are good for ideas on how they sound live. I love seeing people find this band, they were a hidden gem for quite a while.

This is my very favorite band. They now have three vocalist. 4 if you include when Will Swan raps. Will Swan is one of the greatest guitarists of our time, imo. His mind just works different. You should definitely check out their album "Jackpot Juicer." It is their newest album and they just keep getting better. I love them so much! Lmao

Really hope you react to more DGD, so many of their songs give you that good feeling

"roller coaster up and down in random motion" THEY TALKIN ABOUT FUCKIN

it’s safe to say u dig the backseat, shark dad, variation, hot water on wool, i’m down with brown town, the robot w human hair pt 3, jesus h macy, honey revenge, awkward, son of robot, count bassy, pussy vultures, death of a strawberry, antlion, - KURT TRAVIS AND JOHNNY CRAIG R ALSO UNBELIEVABLE!!!! (tilian is my fav) but THEIR WHOLE DISCOGRAPHY IS AN ABSOLUTE BRAIN FUCK. they r so unbelievable i can’t even put it into words. i met kurt he is my favorite artist of all time

honestly i love your reactions and can't wait to watch you react to Queens of the Stone Age, "No One Knows", or Nine Inch Nails "Head Like A Hole" or Radiohead's "Paranoid Android", or "WINONA's BIG BROWN BEAVER" by Primus

Duuude if you like this style, check out the band Alexisonfire! They're not as poppy sounding as this, but they have a similar thing going on with beautiful high pitched vocals harmonising with intense screams, plus really cool guitar riffs and that super high energy punk kinda flavour. Have a listen to "Accidents", or "Hey, Its Your Funeral Mama". Both bangers from 2004, every angsty white boy used to rock out to them back in the day.
