Tilian: The Oral History-From Tides Of Man to Dance Gavin Dance

#Tilian #DanceGavinDance #BloodWolf
Whether you know #Tilian Pearson as the vocalist for #DanceGavinDance, fondly remember him as the frontman of #TidesOfMan or exclusively follow his career as a solo act-it's obvious that Tilian is one of the most prolific artists in modern rock music. In this APTV exclusive, Tilian walks us through a definitive timeline of his career. In this #OralHistory, Tilian recalls his roots as a standout singer in his school show choir, getting signed to #RiseRecords after being randomly discovered on #MySpace, and reveals the Dance Gavin Dance record that he thought he finally "found his style" on.
For the first time, Tilian publicly tells the story of the time he spontaneously filled in for a sleeping #KurtTravis during a #DGD soundcheck and how that moment may have lead to him eventually joining the band.
Tilian also opens up about recording demos with #Saosin, his awkward exit from the band Archive, and the "weird" new album that Dance Gavin Dance are poised to release in 2020.

[@imraanakollo-arenz1449]

Whoa, Tilian went through bands like Dance Gavin Dance went through band members.

[@jacoblyons79]

3:09 Honestly one of the most important tours of the scene. In 2009, Dance Gavin Dance was on their second singer (Kurt Travis) while Jonny Craig joined a singer-less Emarosa, so you’ve got two important bands going strong. Chris Roetter started Like Moths to Flames. Of Mice & Men were a new band after Austin Carlile left Attack Attack, which also led to Beartooth, Tides of Man opening up for DGD led to an eventual addition of Tilian as DGD’s new singer, and Of Machines the opener released what would become the “Rise Sound” for years to come, while Austin Thornton would use the popularity of the band to form Woe, Is Me, as their drummer, which went on to cause Issues to become a band from Austin basically being a dick. In conclusion, 9 complete bands were solidified from one tour in a butterfly effect. Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, Slaves (and Jonny Craig’s solo work), Like Moths To Flames, Of Mice & Men (with Austin Carlie) which led to Of Mice & Men (with Aaron Pauley), Attack Attack (with Caleb), which led to Beartooth, and Of Machines, which led Woe Is Me, which led to Issues. UPDATE 2021: Tyler Carter is now a full time solo artist, Tillian being added to DGD led to Kurt Travis being a solo artist AND the singer for Royal Coda. Update 2023: So… Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, Beartooth, Of Mice & Men, and all of the swancore bands are still super active. Attack Attack and Woe, Is Me are bands again. Apparently Jonny Craig almost joined A Skylit Drive in 2008, but couldn’t due to contract obligations with Rise Records. Crazy scene.

[@austinpren13]

I was just thinking this. He talks like he's still not sure if he can be famous or if his girlfriend just likes his voice lol

[@theangelbelow88]

If you seen him live, he always comes of very humbled. He's very reserved and soft spoken when engaging with the audience. He for sure comes off as someone who loves making and performing music, he's always very polite and thankful, he's not really a hypeman like most singers are, which is why I know he's not doing it for any other reason, besides the love of music.

[@funkaydingo4151]

Mothership came out right after I graduated from college but was in a very weird and "down" point in my life. The album definitely has a very special spot for me. Things got better for me before I kind of tanked my mindset in 2018 around Artificial Selection. ArSe has become my favorite since. Listened to it every day and it really helped to pull me out of that dark place. I hope all is going well for you now man! Mothership and ArSe were a 1-2 punch of just awesome music!
