Length of time to purchase

So I was planning on getting the strawberry's wake hoodie and i was wondering if it will sell out and not be restocked before Christmas or if it would be restocked. Does anyone know how that usually works?

Indie Song (Unreleased)

Knowing that this song will probably never release or get an official recording, are there any DGD songs (or from other artists) that sound even remotely similar to it?

Kurt Travis Canal club show

I know it’s a long shot but hoping someone out there might have a picture/video of Kurt hugging me as soon as he finished his set? I’d appreciate it so much!

No Competition in the Swancore Scene

I know this will be a very hot take, but here it goes. I feel the gap between DGD and the other swancore bands is too big. I’m not sure if I’m just that accustomed to DGD and the quality of work they put out, but I feel the other bands couldn’t hold a flame to the magic they put out. Theyre very good bands in their own right, but still they just could not stand up to DGD. Before people stamp on my balls, I just want to make it clear that I know that making music is not a competition nor does it have to be. But I strongly believe the scene would be a lot more interesting and hype if the other bands would step it up and try to really leave their mark on the scene in a HUGE way. I personally enjoy a lot of swancore bands but they don’t scratch the same itch DGD does nor do they scratch other itches I didn’t even know I had. This can change though. I feel us as a community should also divert their attention to smaller bands more and support them however they can. This way maybe they’ll get the motivation to put out bangers and make the scene more lively. What are your thoughts on this? It’s an honest question really and I’m looking forward to constructive conversation and feedback.

Evaporate outro references

So I've listened to a lot of DGD but I'm bad at remembering the lyrics. Could somebody list all the references in Evaporate's outro? I would greatly appreciate it.

Would it be okay to wear a Dance Gavin Dance shirt to a Tilian concert?

I love love love dance Gavin dance AND tilian’s solo project. I only have dgd merch but plan on getting some at the tilian show in Denver. I had tickets for tilian like a year or two ago same city but it got cancelled :( I love Tilian and he is the reason I got into DGD and have a huge appreciation for him and thoroughly enjoy his solo stuff too. lowkey using a throwaway account because of how Reddit is. But like, would it be bad taste? I was thinking of wearing my “I want you to matter to you” maroon strawberry dgd shirt but I’m autistic and scared and just want to fit in. TIA

Met Tilian and he signed my setlist!

It was a great show and I really enjoyed it despite not caring for most of his solo stuff. Autumn Kings killed it too

Play Guitar Like DGD

Hi everyone, I've been playing guitar for about a year and a half and I'm a fan of DGD's work and the Swancore style.

As you know, I am still not good at playing the guitar and that is why I have not been encouraged to learn DGD songs, that is why I want you to tell me tips or a list of songs that I can start to learn and level up, this to improve playing the guitar.

I was wrong about Acceptance Speech, ask me anything. 🏆

I was wrong, after months of listening, Acceptance Speech has become my top 3 of the band (#3- AS, #2- Mothership, #1- DBMII) and I went from hating it to having it in my general music rotation. 🤠

Ask me anything you want about my listening experience or anything else, and I'll answer as a former ✨ Acceptance Speech hater ✨.

Jon Mess is criminally underrated

Ok so like. I'm just here to rant & i want people to discuss in the comments. Who's your fave DGD member? Why?

Hands down Jon. I love how much fun he is. His lyrics can be goofy, sharp, dark or just random as hell. But everything he does somehow just all comes together & it works. He also is very pronounced, vocally, even doing screams the way he does. I fond it super easy to understand pretty much everything even without reading lyrics as I listen (which I do for pretty much all music) and it's really unique because a lot of metal vocalists aren't as articulated in their screams like Jon. I feel he's hella underrated and I get angry a lot when people ONLY pay attention to Tillian. Yes. We know Tillian is super talented- and this is NOT a Tillian hate post. I love him. Musically. On other levels- that's not exactly on my brain. As a musician Tillian is just out of this world. But sometimes I think people forget Jon & he's very much always on the back burner to Tillian.

Please share your unfiltered opinions but be kind y'all
