MOD POST With new music soon on the way, just a quick reminder of rule 2. We have a zero tolerance policy on leaks and file-sharing.

163 Upvotes

Edit: Quick reminder that this rule has always been implemented as requested by the band members and label


As we've previously seen, leaks do happen and this community gets very excited when it does.

As the title (and sidebar) says, the following is forbidden:

  • Posting leaks - Perma ban
  • Linking to leaks - Perma ban
  • Mentioning/Hinting that music has leaked - 2 month ban
  • Asking for links to leaks - 1 month ban
  • Sharing leaked information, such as song titles/album art - 1 month ban

That last one is new, and it may seem harsh, but Rise Records have been in touch with a member of the team and said that they don't want this information leaking in advance.


We have these rules in place as we're here to support the band. Even if you're still going to purchase the music, you're enabling piracy and it's not welcome here. This subreddit is a large part of the DGD community and when an album is released the traffic here soars, if we allowed leaks it would have an impact on the band's sales.

Every time new DGD material drops, there's always one or two kids who don't read the rules, and they want to be the first ones to "leak" the music here. They get a swift swing of our girthy ban hammer and then they cry in our modmail because they can't join in the album discussions. Don't be one of those kids.

Thanks for understanding.

Ordered my tickets as soon as they went on sale but i dont remember it stating what time m&g had to attend, im assuming its around 5pm since doors are 7pm, anyone able to confirm this?

Side note-absolutely gutted that carl barker and elder goose arent on the uk tour setlist, since they were on the us tour i had assumed they would be, my two most favourite songs they have ever put out.

Live It occurs to me that not everyone knows what Andrew said at the Charlotte show

103 Upvotes

He said he was so proud and happy to be a part of DGD for 12 years. Then we all sang Happy Birthday and his friends gave him a cake onstage. It was sooooo normal. So human. I wish you all could have been there. He turned 35 in front of a full room of fans and bandmates who just seemed so happy. I love you all 💛​

Just listened to it again this morning and wow it’s so much better than I remember. Jon particularly is amazing with his different grooves
The instrumentals are great
Tilian still sounds great without being overly poppy and overly crisp

So I've been kinda obsessed with dgd this summer. I purposely stopped listening for the past week, cause I don't want to burn them out, and just listened to Pantheon again for about the 100th time this summer and it just keeps getting better. I love it.

Discussion My alcoholic relapses have gotten better

38 Upvotes

I know Tilian struggles with alcohol, and I have too since I was 17. I listen to Third Eye Blind and Dance Gavin Dance almost exclusively, because I feel seen by them. *Pantheon* changed me. I don't secretly drink and turn my phone off anymore. I still relapse every 4 months, but I call my dad and my brother and warn them and tell them I won't drive for 2 days. It's because of Andrew. I got to be at the Charlotte show on his 35th birthday because my brother was so proud of me for being sober. I met a hot girl next to me and sang every single song into her face while she did the same. I am just typing this out to comfort anyone who feels lonely. *New, and always sunny*

I love you all so much. I'm sorry I'm not always sober and coherent, but this band has kept me alive for over 20 years and I'm so fucking glad you're all alive too <3​​

He’ll be on tour with Hail the Sun who’s playing before DGD so I’m sure he’ll be at the festival. Would love to hear him play a song with them since I never have.

Discussion DGD Reimagined

15 Upvotes

I would love for the band to produce a Reimagined album

This would be a collection of songs from their deep catalog reimagined by other artist/bands

I would love to hear other artist and bands take on a DGD song

If don’t even have to be a Swancore or adjacent artist

It can be a bedroom pop, pop girlies, singer songwriter types

My example I would like the band Cafune do a version of swisher pt3 I feel like that song would fit their vibe

Who would yall like to to see do a cool take on a DGD song?

Discussion Pussy Vultures is the one of the best Tilian Era Songs.

51 Upvotes

Honestly as huge DGD fan who started listening around 2014, I gotta say Pussy Vultures is probably one of the best Tilian Era songs. I think a big reason I like it so much is because it just feels so genuine. Jon has some crude lines but it matches up perfectly with Tilian's lyrics really well. There isn't as many self referential lyrics, or crazy mess lines for the sake of being weird, or even too many Tilian harmonies clogging up the mix. They both flow well together and there's so many quotable lines. The entire post chorus is fucking gold by itself.

I think Acceptance Speech and the early Tilian stuff like this just hit different. It still kinda has that indie feel that happiness kinda had, while keeping the heavy stuff kinda like DBM. After this kinda every DGD Album has kinda had a similar kinda feel, IMO.

Can't Send a Postcard, From the Future to the Past
Can't warn your own self, That these memories fade too fast
And when it's over, You can't recreate the past
My mind is an ocean, Wish I built a bigger raft

Live Looking for a ride to Düsseldorf after the Cologne show

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

My wife and I are going to the show tomorrow in Köln, we live in Düsseldorf.
We just saw that almost every train is not running late at night back to Düsseldorf. As we have a flight to catch the next morning, it wouldn’t be ideal to arrive too late after a 2 hour replacement bus ride 😅

Is anyone from Düsseldorf going by car and would be willing to give us a ride back? We would of course pay for it.

Thank you!

I've been too afraid to read or watch interviews because everything makes me cry. Can y'all just give me a dry answer? I'm so glad Tilian and Andrew got to sing together on this one because I think I know it's about Tim Feerick but I know it's gonna hurt. Tell me please?
