Dance Gavin Dance Band • Page 98

I saw!! Super hyped. OG line up too which is low key crazy.

 

I liked The Greatest of All Lost Arts back in the day, I should revisit that album.

EDIT: just hit play on To Satellite, this still slaps

 

You are not alone in those thoughts. But a lot of people seem to just overlook it because it's catchy. I do not. It's funny to me too because back when Johnny first quit they wrote that super long post and dragged him talking about how lame his lyrics were on DBM. "I Fear I Can't Believe It's You" Which I never understood because while not great, it's no "Save my soul, cause I'm one in a Million" bad.

This is one of those albums that I think people would lose their minds if it were released today. It's so damn good from start to finish. The opening closing of To Satellite/Namaskar are wonderful and there is some seriously catchy bangers in between.

 

I agree partially, but they would need to lose the very late 2000s breakdowns that happen a little too often though.

 

The Choreographer

 

just a little too often? haha

I did fuck with Lower D back in 2009

 

they need to all gtfo, haha. ruins the flow of every song, and Matt's strength is clean singing, not screaming.

 

Seeing DGD tour with Lower D and Matt coming up for Rock Solid was pretty special

 

I love all their work but that Infinite Et Cetera EP is a bangerrrr

 

I still play Lower D regularly and have been very hyped on their return. The last new EP when they didn't have the original line-up was pretty good, but the production felt flat. I always called them a band that was really unique-sounding but seemed to add in some unnecessary breakdowns to appeal to the kids. Eddie's guitar work deserves more love than it got.

Remembering they did a 10 year anniversary show with the OG line-up that I was bummed to miss because I never did get to catch them live.

 

I never listened to Artificial Selection before -- goddamn this is good

 

Found another cool gem:

 

There was also another DBM2 demo that Zac was on (maybe Robot 2.5) but it was lost

 

I went with

Pussy Vultures
The Backwards Pumpkin Song
Hot Water On Wool
I'm Down With Brown Town
Need Money
Carve
Strawberry Swisher Pt 3
Shark Dad
Eagle Vs Crows
Philosopher King
Chocolate Jackalope
Midnight Crusade
Count Bassy
Calamiento Global
Night Sway

 

Kurt Travis just played Shelf Life during the live stream tonight. Really cool to hear.

 

Sounds good. Tilian previously compared his upcoming album to Tides of Man - Dreamhouse, and I can hear that coming out already.

 

This might be the first solo material of his that I dig. Nice.

 

Yeah if this leans into his Tides of Man days (which this clip sounds like it is) I will be very happy. Loved Dreamhouse.

 

I think Tilian is actually pretty good at guitar iirc

 

Definitely. Here's the new song btw. I like it, not blown away, but I hope the rest of the album is in a similar vein.
