Three Tunes Tuesday: Dance Gavin Dance
Hello to all my fellow music lovers! @saydie here and its happened again, I skipped TTT last week but now I'm back. The last time I list music, it was from the local band from Philippines Saydie which was where I get my hive username. This week, I'm back with my favorite American bands with Dance Gavin Dance which was the pioneer for the Swancore genre as the genre itself was named by the lead guitarist of the band. They have switched vocalist 3 times because just like other bands they do have problems but each of the vocalist bring something to the band so with this list, I pick one of my favorite song from each singer.
Dance Gavin Dance- Heat Seeking Ghost of Sex
Vocalist: Jonny Craig
The first song on my list was Heat Seeking Ghost of Sex from the bands 5th album Downtown Battle Mountain II released on 2011 with their first vocalist Jonny Craig coming back ever since the bands 2nd album and which charisma was I think the reason that jumpstart popularity the of the band though he was a very troubled guy in the past.
Dance Gavin Dance- Tree Village
Vocalist: Kurt Travis
For my Second song, it will be Tree Village from the bands 2009 album Happiness with their 2nd vocalist Kurt Travis which was their vocalist for 2 albums. Also for this song the unclean parts were performed by their lead guitarist Will Swan which is kind of rough compared to their original unclean vocalist Jon Mess but it's something that I want for them to do from time to time to add more dynamics to the band.
Dance Gavin Dance- Prisoner
Vocalist: Tillian Pearson
For my last video, I share Prisoner from the bands 9th album Afterburner with their third and current vocalist Tillian Pearson which for me has the most unique voice among all the three vocalist and really matched with the style that the band is aiming for but you could still hear the pop- jazz like sound with their albums.
And that was it for this week's #threetunetuesday post. This was a project initiated by @ablaze where everyone was free to share their favorite music every Tuesday. Thank you very much if you made it till the end and you can tell me which song have you liked or was something that you never heard.
See you until next time!

Great tunes these shared by you. Do you know how the current vocalist of the band performs live? I'm curious because the registers are challenging. Will make my own research anyway. Every time I get something good in principle from the recording studies I look for the live versions. Thanks for your contribution. Best regards from Cuba.
Sorry. I wasn't from us so I do not track of their live shows but thanks for coming by m post.
Long time since I don’t listen to this band! Great tracks you’ve shared today, some of them were in my teenage years playlist. I remembered them recently 'cause some people were organising a "Emo Party" in my town and this band was part of the songs to play there. Thanks for sharing these songs!
Wow! An "Emo Party"? You have a cool town there. It might as well be my dream town.
Thanks for coming by my post!
Yup, of the three I believe I liked Tillian Pearson the most of all. Thanks for sharing!
I find Tillian's voice very unique and look at those arms, it is my gym goal but still farm from it. Jonny and Kurt were also great singers and I don't mind if their lead guitarist Will to do the screaming from time to time or do it together with Jon. Perhaps, a collaboration between all the past and present vocalist will be a great fanservice.
Thanks for coming by my post!

Swancore eh?? Never heard of that genre, there are so many these days, that it's very hard to keep up with it all. It's like metal meets American softrock, quite unusual, but I can definitely listen to it. It works. Thanks for sharing those tunes with us for #ttt
Swancore technically means progressive post hardcore and was named to the lead guitarist of dgd as he also owns a record label called blue swan record where most of the musicians on that label plays progressive post hard core so the genre was relatively new as it was formed with the formation of dgd.
Thanks for coming by my post.
You know your stuff. Nice history lesson, thanks
