Tilian Pearson Teases Dance Gavin Dance Material

I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but Vine has become an accepted part of our culture and I am now writing news posts on them.

Technology, right? heh…

If you’re not savvy to the new trend, here are the things you need to know about Vine:

  1. It’s like Instagram, but without filters.
  2. The pictures move like Harry Potter’s morning newspaper.
  3. The “videos” are approx. 6 seconds long.
  4. I never open the app.

Lots of people are using it now, including everyone’s vocalist, Tilian Pearson. That’s not a jab, by the way. It’s more of a wish. If it were …

STREAM: Tilian Pearson – “Flutter”

Just last week, Tilian Pearson, ex-vocalist for Tides of Man and current vocalist for Dance Gavin Dance, released his new music video for “Up In The Air”. Today, the singer has premiered another new song on AbsolutePunk.net called “Flutter”.

Given his prior musical resume, these new songs are uncharacteristically poppy for Pearson, which certainly isn’t a bad thing.

AbsolutePunk.net said, “…few would have ever expected Tilian Pearson to venture into pop tunes. That said, the vocalist proves to be a perfect fit for upbeat ditties on Material Me, his debut solo album.”

Pearson will be releasing his debut …

Oh, the places Jonny Craig will go. Former Dance Gavin Dance vocalist and drug addict/awkward criminal Jonny Craig recently released three interesting cover songs (including a song originally by Justin Timberlake) and announced a solo headlining tour.

Jonny is without a label now, so the crowdfunding could make or break him. In his own words, “I want to get some new music out to all of you, MY FANS, but in order to do so it’s going to

Ohio’s own The Paramedic is heading out for their headlining tour. They were originally supposed to do their tour in December, but a car accident set them back. Nonetheless, everyone’s doing fine now and they will start off on a tour in a few days, with support from Evelynn.
