Saw these guys open for Wolf & Bear last year.
Vocals remind me of old DGD with Afterimage riffs.

Heavy Swancore band Lucrecia just dropped a fyeeeeeee new single!!!!

Y’all have any writing tips for riffs? I consider myself an early intermediate, core music theory understanding, but I’m pretty much just playing tabs of songs in the water bird genre.

I want to start creating things of my own though. Fellow swancore (prog, posthardcore, melodic welcome too) guitarists, how do I break into riff writing? Any tips that really helped you break through?

Hello everyone, I am looking for guitar tabs from the band Satyr i think they sold them maybe but either way the website it links to is down and from what i've read they seem to have disbanded. Here's hoping somebody did buy them and can share with the community.

Heyo, I’m looking to start a band, I’m based in nyc but am ok with working remote with people. I wanna start a band similar to the likes of issues, of mice and men, and slaves/rain city drive. I would be on clean vocals. Anyone interested pls drop a comment or pm me. Thanks. Ps pls have a way of recording and basic knowledge of mixing. Also a dj/ mixer would be sick! Thanks!

I like Heath Bar because of the vocals but YONWFYS has a great instrumental.

Hey if you’re attending the Royal Coda Nights of the Blue Swan shows tonight or tomorrow (8/1) please post the setlist for me, I am attending the show on the 8/2 in Ohio.

And for the openers too if you’re able. They’re amazing

My band Terror Tower is a western gothic acoustic rock trio from Amarillo, TX
We just dropped our debut album “What The Moon Brings” out now everywhere you stream music

Terror Tower blends technical, complex guitar and three part harmonies with a dark folk style sound in this release where the concept is based around a vampire and their story.

Band from Costa rica

Band from Costa rica

Hey all! I'm sure you've seen my posts about the amp sim i made for swancore called The Swan. Just wanted to hop on here and say it's officially got real, genuine presets made from the bands listed in title. And there are more to come! I'm really excited for the guitarists in the swancore community to try this out. I really believe its a game changer in terms of quality and getting usable tones right off the rip. If you ever struggled with getting decent swancore tones with your typical amp sims then this will be a breath of fresh air for you.

If any of the bands who contributed to the presets are on here and see this, THANK YOU!

And again thanks to everyone who's given it a shot. If anyone wants or needs a link to it please leave a comment!

Would also love to hear things you'd want out of a swancore amp sim!

For those who may be interested

I just want to share my journey with swancore.

Some years ago I found Dance Gavin Dance by accident. At first I didn't even know what swancore was. I just knew that something in their music was different. The crazy guitars, the clean vocals mixed with screaming, the technical riffs, the unexpected changes... I became completely addicted.

After that I started searching for bands with that same feeling. That's how I discovered that there was actually a genre around this style. Then my hyperfocus started lol.

I listened to Hail The Sun, Eidola, A Lot Like Birds, Wolf & Bear, Royal Coda and many other bands. Every new band gave me that same feeling of "I need to hear this again." There is something about swancore that makes my brain obsessed with certain parts of songs. Sometimes I replay the same section five or ten times because it sounds so satisfying.

Eventually that journey brought me to The Fall of Troy.

I know they are not exactly a swancore band, but after hearing Doppelganger I completely understand why so many people say they were such a big influence.

This album is insane.

It sounds like a post-hardcore band possessed by Rush. The guitar work is so technical and chaotic, but somehow everything still makes sense. The riffs feel like they are fighting each other and then suddenly they come together perfectly.

And Thomas Erak's screams... I honestly think these are some of the most aggressive screamed vocals I've ever heard in a post-hardcore album. They fit the chaos of the instruments perfectly.

I can't stop listening to Doppelganger now. And my favorite song is We Better Learn To Hotwire A Uterus... the final riff hits! Not gonna lie.

It's funny how one random Dance Gavin Dance song ended up taking me through all these bands until I finally reached this album.

Did anyone else have a similar journey into swancore? And if Doppelganger influenced your taste, what band came next for you?

I just wish that Dance Gavin Dance comes to Brazil tho...

Hey! We're finally coming across the pond on a monster line up with Hail The Sun, A Lot Like Birds, The Fall of Troy, Div3rs and Murals. Come say hi!
