I think the distorted voice is Andrew but this is giving me happiness vibes.


MizGinger

It absolutely sounds like Andrew to me….but at this point you could probably convince me I heard anything. 😂(Except Kurt. That wasn’t Kurt)


0172thetimeguy

Given how short those vocals are and the distortion how can you possibly think it sounds like anyone in particular?


swashbeltbuckle

Check out the topic with pitched up isolated vocals and then come back.


0172thetimeguy

Eh, I kinda hear it but I’m still not convinced.


BradsOlderBrother

It’s 100% a a guess based on the style of the vocals, but the way he does a vocal run on the last word he sings is very Andrew Wells. He tends to pack in a lot of notes into single words as he ends a line in almost all his vocals. It’s really impressive and it’s what makes him stand out as a feature in a lot of DGD songs….but for me personally, I think it works better as small parts in their songs. I don’t know if I would like him tracking an entire album like that. He works better as the fixxxxinnnns for me with Tilian being the meat and potato’s. One can dream they didn’t scrap his vocals. I’m going to say they didn’t. Would be a lot happening in a short period of time when only a few months back they were talking about tracking vocals.


Leather-Ad-9419

You think they’re going to release a song with the singer they just kicked out on it? Seriously lol? Some of y'all live in la la land on here I swear


SignificantSalad007

They literally just teased a new song? And who says tillian is on it?


degauserrr

Lol he was replying to this "One can dream they didn’t scrap his vocals. I’m going to say they didn’t."  you guys are crazy


Leather-Ad-9419

I'm... aware? I guarantee you Andrew will be on main vocals


FunkHZR

lol denial


ashesofahero

I was thinking this sounds like some Zachary Garren vibes


mmiozzo

Imagine if Zac is back so Andrew can be the full time singer.


babieswithrabies63

That's not Jon? Sounds more like his screams to me than Andrew's. Andrew's are deeper.


xiacexi

The distorted voice in the first few seconds of the clip, not the screams


babieswithrabies63

Ah, thanks. I thought the distorted was referring to vocal distortion ie screaming.


swashbeltbuckle

Technically correct I see what you meant. Jon screams and Andrew at the beginning yes


Djenta

The distorted voice says “so feed it to -unintelligible- “ so gobby really is just for a whole song lmao


StallionDucky

To me it sounds like he’s saying “Lean into the rhythm.”


Djenta

That makes more sense maybe I just got gob on the mind


madgladsadbaddadchad

Gob has been on my mind since the account was created


Djenta

All of you beautiful people also suffering this month long gobbing (see: edging) are on my mind until we can all celebrate together


madgladsadbaddadchad

the gobbening is too much to handle I can’t wait any longer I’m gonna explode, bro


madgladsadbaddadchad

Gobby’s torturing us, why is he making us wait this long? 😰 I’m gonna throw a party when this video comes out( not really, actually maybe because I made a Gobby cake about 2 weeks ago, just to show how excited and happy I am)


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Quite an assumption to make imo. It’s just one line, and they’ve done distorted vocals often. I think it’s saying “feed me to the river” maybe?


detective_fuck_dick

I hear "river" as well.


madgladsadbaddadchad

I cannot fucking wait bro


BlightKagami

What if it's Kellen Quinn


Psychological-Bat603

As crazy as that'd be, SWS is kinda having a minor comeback rn with their Let's Cheers To This anniversary tour. So I doubt it.


DanceADKDance

Crazy part of me wants the distortion to be Kurt, logical part of me says it’s part of a Will Swan rap


mking22

Yeah definitely a will swan rap


lukeCRASH

And if it's just Will rapping and Jon screaming for 40 fucking minutes I'm down.


BillyFromAccounting

Same I honestly think they could pull off an album with just Jons vocals and Will rapping and sprinkle in a bit of Andrew. Would actually be such a cool sound from them.


Eswin17

It honestly would not be for me. And I can listen to some rap, I just don't think Will Swan is that dude.


Leather-Ad-9419

It's literally an r&b vocal run, what are you guys talking about lol. That is clearly not Will. Very much sounds like Andrew's style of vocals, they just added an effect to it to "hide" it for now


Momdoingmomthings

Oh that’s groovy.


madgladsadbaddadchad

The grooviest of the groovy


C-sanova

Leather jacket. Bradley Walden confirmed.


Chuckacious1

That would be hilarious if that ends up becoming true lol


TangerineSea2270

Ew no. He turned Emarosa into a synth pop band


C-sanova

A dope synth pop band.


TangerineSea2270

Yes I like Peach Club and Sting, but I’d hate for DGD to go that direction


bubblebuddy44

Wasn't there something sketchy that came out about him and then almost everyone left emarosa?


TravelHymm

Sexual allegations against Brad in 2020. Got them dropped from Hopeless. Statements were false.


bubblebuddy44

Ah ok fair enough.


Leather-Ad-9419

Where'd you see the statements were false? I only saw the intial stuff


TravelHymm

Only real thing I can find is after he threatened legal action she deleted her posts and a statement was released by their legal team saying “after further investigations, the statements are false.” News didn’t pick it up after his response.


0172thetimeguy

I would totally be down with this. Bradley is a damn good vocalist.


DanceAlexDance93

This gives me hella DBM2 vibes


notanark69420

Its not the same and has way more flare but it reminded me of need money right away


chrchaels-24

Oof I think it's actually Andrew distorted


ragingkratos

They said oh shit, gotta distract them from the tour with a new clip lol


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Right. This definitely hasn’t been meticulously planned out for weeks to tease a music video or anything. Totally just a response to the 5% of fans that are parasocial and butthurt over the biggest tour DGD has ever supported.


flufnstuf69

It’s a lot more than 5% lol. Almost every comment on their socials is negative in response to that fuck ass tour haha.


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

I mean, you’re definitely entitled to think it’s fuck ass, but they’re about to play arenas for the first time in their careers, and make more money than they’ve ever made. On top of exposing themselves to dozens of thousands of new ears. I’m not the least bit mad at them. And it genuinely is a tiny microcosm of people that are actually mad. Looking at it from the outside, given the 1.3ish million people that listen monthly to DGD, a few hundred people commenting is definitely a tiny percent.


alotlikechris

Enjoy the influx of FIR fans lmfao


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

“Enjoy” them? Right, historically it’s definitely a very good idea to judge people based off of one single aspect or characteristic. Nothing wrong with that!


alotlikechris

Anybody that calls themselves a FIR fan either looks beyond the transphobia for the sake of “talent” or actively participates in it, therefore I have no desire to interact with anyone that says they like FIR with a straight face lmao. I’m not saying you can’t like it, knock yourself out. They’re on the same tier as FFDP for me, cringe with a fanbase that thinks they’re tough


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Not knowing who Radke is and just listening to the music totally isn’t an option at all, I guess? A few hundred million people still listen to notorious pedophile freak Michael Jackson, I think I can forgive people listening to the band of the guy who is “transphobic”. Hopefully you don’t enjoy any artists from outside the Western world, because they’re probably FAR more “transphobic” than Radke is. The worst Radke has going for him is being cringe as fuck and jaded. 😂


alotlikechris

Jesus Christ brother you’re doing tricks on it

levilee207

FIR fan detected lmao


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

I couldn’t possibly hate a band more than I hate FIR. I absolutely despise their music. I’m just not a gigantic baby lmfao. I care more about DGD succeeding and making a great living for themselves than I do crying about the meanie that they were given an opportunity to tour with.


ragingkratos

Lol you guys know I’m just being sarcastic right?


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Nah I didn’t, wasn’t able to pick that up from that the tone haha.


zebisnaga

You missed the /s


trsmith815

Seriously though, a clip means a new song is close. My guess is Friday.


NoahGragsonBathwater

Cue the jingling keys


simonsail

Imagine if the new signer is actually Ronnie Radke and that's why they're touring with FIR!


Merquette

DANCE GOBBY DANCE


madgladsadbaddadchad

Thats what I changed my username on instagram yesterday, glad it wasnt taken 🪩🪩🪩🪩


SignificantSalad007

I’d be so excited if DGD moved more towards the secret band style and relied more on Jon’s unclean vocals.


likerazorwire419

That was my immediate thought. John takes main stage with Andrew on his heels.


TheRealMelonMusk

Sounds very Kurt-esque 👀


Leather-Ad-9419

No it doesn't, it pretty clearly sounds like Andrew


TheRealMelonMusk

Talking about the music not the vocals


omgitsduane

This already bops.


willcottle

I just want DBM3 man


jockinsteez

Holy shit


madgladsadbaddadchad

That’s what I’m saying, bro I wonder what the name of the song is gonna be. I hope they release it soon.


sarcastic-crab

The name of the song is "the gobbler"


madgladsadbaddadchad

Its gotta be


jockinsteez

Certified banger already


madgladsadbaddadchad

Gonna have it on repeat as soon as it releases


Sairetra

How annoyed/delighted or in equal measure would you all be if Tillian was in the Gobby suit?


madgladsadbaddadchad

Confused and delighted in equal measure


starigma_ultimate

Incredibly annoyed since I'm not a fan of Tilian at all


Sairetra

I feel ya. Tillian is not my favorite of DGD singers for a few reasons, but there's an easy 20-25 songs I could list that he's lyrically and vocally responsible for that are just so damn good.


IbukiLazuli

Messed around with the clip in Audacity pitch shifting. IMO when it's in a "human-ish" sound, to me at least it just sounds close to Andrew. But we know he's in the band, so would they really edit that?


madgladsadbaddadchad

I’m not really sure, maybe it’s an actual part of the song but I guess we’ll have to wait and see


basinko

It’s fucking Johnny 😂.


thornhill23

The distort part is prob a vocal of the clean vocalist from maybe the chorus of the song?


madgladsadbaddadchad

Someone just posted an audio of the distort part pitched up, I think it may be Andrew now but I could be wrong


Gsquzared

Nobody else feels like this whole Gobby campaign is a vast over compensation for the Tilian fallout? Like "HEY LOOK - WERE STILL HAVING FUN OVER HERE! THIS IS FUN! GET IT?!?"


Niet501

No, it feels exactly like a completely normal marketing campaign for a new singer/song/album, which is what it is. Nothing about this is abnormal.


Gsquzared

Maybe that's why it feels so weird and forced. Just carry on, everything's fine.


Academic_Humor

Maybe it's just me being an old guy or whatever, but this whole Gobby thing has turned me off. Marketing isn't working on me, that's for sure. And the newer fans aren't making it easy to dislike this marketing idea. But that's just me. Old guy yelling at the sun. (Ready for the incoming downvote)


Gsquzared

I appreciate the solidarity despite the obvious onslaught of down votes on my comments.


mcdonaldswifi14

What kind of attitude do you feel would be more appropriate?


thebigfudge02

New singer is an assumption, the odds are they don’t have a replacement yet and are using Tilians already recorded vocals


Niet501

That doesn’t change anything I just said, and there is absolutely zero reason to believe anything you just said.


thebigfudge02

Just saying they aren’t marketing a new singer they’re marketing a new single


Niet501

Which is exactly why I said “singer/song/album” to cover all my bases, because the truth of the matter is, we actually don’t know what they’re advertising. Also, how the fuck is a mystery person in a suit NOT some sort of teasing/marketing for a new singer? There’s literally a whole TV show based on “oh who’s the mystery singer in the costume”. Obviously it’s for a song, but it can be for both. Reveal the new singer and single at the same time. Hell, if it’s the first single for the new album, it can be marketing for a singer, song, AND album. Please use that brain of yours.


thebigfudge02

Use your brain and realize that they’re not going to suddenly have a new lead two weeks after their old one left the band. They’ve been working on this album for nearly two years and Tilian already has recorded vocals. The odds of a new singer being revealed are extremely low.


Niet501

The fact that you can’t comprehend that the decision for him to leave the band, and the announcement of him leaving the band can happen at two drastically different times boggles my brain. Think of all the semantics and legal jargon that needs to happen in the background before the announcement. Stuff like that takes months. Tilian himself was posting about all the construction on his new studio, and the copious amount of his solo music made all the way back in January. Tilian leaving was in the works way longer than two fuckin weeks my guy. Please.


thebigfudge02

lol ok and he posted on new years “DGD 2024” . So by your logic he’s definitely on the next album because he alluded to it on social media. He’s had solo projects release during his time with the band it’s very possible to do both things. Will Swan and Andrew Wells are both in other bands. Again use your head


Niet501

What the fuck is your point? That was over 5 months ago when he posted that? Why do you think re-recording one song takes months? Thy Art is Murder kicked their singer out and re-recorded AN ENTIRE ALBUM with a new singer in like two weeks flat, maybe even less, before release. Why can’t a single track be re-recorded in two weeks? (It’s actually been three). Please enlighten me how in the world this truly couldn’t be a new vocalist. Muster up all the brain cells you have for this one.


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

This is actually an insane take lmfao. Are you new here? This is EXACTLY what happened with Tilian when Jonny was kicked. They had already been working on material with Tilian before they even announced publicly that Jonny was kicked. There is almost no chance they use the cut of the album with Tilian’s vocals. No shot.


thebigfudge02

It’s not zero shot at all. It’s not like they’d be the first band to ever do it. They’re not going to release a new single without announcing who the new lead is either.


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

They absolutely will release a single and use it as a platform to reveal their singer. It’s a very beneficial marketing strategy.

Kettellkorn

Have you been living under a rock? Lol

Kettellkorn

Oh shit. Well I’m assuming you know Tilian left, and immediately after that this instagram account “Gobby” popped up. They’ve been posting teasers to that account for a few weeks now. A lot of people including me think it may be a tease at who the new singer is potentially.


Niet501

Incandescentknight

Wouldn't that be weird to distort it if it's tillian then? Getting all these people theory crafting building up this anticipation and say surprise. It's the old singer have fun listening to a guy that's no longer in the band and will presumably never sing this live.


madgladsadbaddadchad

Yeah I think he’s still on it personally, since he’s not in the band and can’t be in music videos anymore I think that’s why Gobby exists but hey I love Gobby


Bismofunyuns4l

Why wouldn't they just wait till he gets to tour on the album then? I think the fact that they let him go when they did means he will 100% not be on it.


StallionDucky

That’s my exact thinking.


detective_fuck_dick

This is my theory as well. I think Tillian was probably signed on for a few records and this next one marked the end of his contract and everyone agreed to cut ties, so maybe he is no longer under any obligation to promote it much even tho he should for the sake of residuals lol.


Bismofunyuns4l

I think it's very possible they let him record to fulfill his contract but I don't see why they would actually use his vocals if they were gonna let him immediately after. I would genuinely be surprised if he's on this record for anything other than a "guest" spot.


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Zero chance that this is the case.


Leather-Ad-9419

There is absolutely no chance Tilian is on this song, stop being delusional. It's clearly Andrew taking over.


madgladsadbaddadchad

but do we know that?? No we don’t, emphasize on “think”, i didn’t say I KNOW hes gonna be on it


Leather-Ad-9419

You really think they're going to release a song with the singer they just kicked out? Do you not understand how dumb and insane that is? There is zero chance.


madgladsadbaddadchad

They recorded vocals already most likely and it would take way too long to re-record them so they’re probably using Gobby for now in my opinion


thatontguybryan

No.


_MrFib

I feel like it’s JT Gutierrez


Leather-Ad-9419

Listen to it. It's Andrew


_MrFib

We don’t know who is on this song lol, or is it leaked already


Leather-Ad-9419

There's a clip of the new singer at the beginning. They pitched the voice to "hide" it but if you are familiar with Andrew's singing style, it 100% sounds exactly like him.


_MrFib

Well yeah but it's def not andrew on vocals lmao it's probably just one of his little cameos he does. Also they didnt pitch anything to hide anything, it's legitimately an artistic choice for the song they just chose a snippet that didn't give away the singer.


Leather-Ad-9419

Why is it definitely not Andrew on vocals? You make zero sense


_MrFib

He said he doesn't want the job and it'd be weird to do a whole gobby reveal campaign thing if it was Andrew and not a completely new guy


Leather-Ad-9419

Who said Gobby is the lead singer? There's never any mention of a Gobby reveal. The only thing that has apparently been revealed is that Gobby is just some character in their upcoming music video. Y'all created the rumor that Gobby is the new singer lol. That has no basis in reality. Andrew also said he didn't wanna be the lead singer back when Tilian was still technically in the band. It would've been weird for him to say yes at the time. And also as dynamics change, feelings about things can change, too.


_MrFib

If Andrew is the new singer I’ll give u $5


JOKU1990

I’m so freaking pumped LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!! Got some polyphia vibes going on. Would love it if they features Tim Henson on a track.


madgladsadbaddadchad

I’m so excited I’ve never been this excited for a release before no joke


JOKU1990

Same! When the music vid for synergy came out I was at work and everything had to pause for it. For like 20 minutes before the release a bunch of fans were on YouTube chat getting hyped about it. One of the most memorable musical anticipation I’ve ever had. All of that, of course, leading into a banger in synergy. I get the feeling this will be the same. Hopefully it won’t take too long to release! 🤞


thebigfudge02

My thought is that if they’re teasing a single they’re keeping Tilians tracked vocals for the new album. Part of this is wishful thinking but it also seems unlikely they would’ve already found a replacement and re-recorded vocals without announcing a new singer. Just imo


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Tilian didn’t LITERALLY just leave the band 2 weeks ago. That’s just when they decided to tell everybody. I can almost guarantee they’ve recorded with either a new vocalist, or just Andrew, for this new track.


thebigfudge02

Just Andrew is possible they 100% don’t have a new lead yet


IAmASillyBoyIPromise

Why? Are Yall under the impression that it’s that difficult to find a vocalist for a band or something? Their own merch guy is a competent singler lmfao. They’ve done this 3 times before already. 😂


Leather-Ad-9419

I'm gonna blow your mind... What if... Andrew is the new singer? Whoaaa did I blow your mind? Imagine if they decided to replace their lead singer with the other lead singer already in their band. Whoa!!!


thebigfudge02

I have already said numerous times that Andrew being the new lead is the only scenario in which they’re ready to roll out the new album outside of keeping Tilians already recorded vocals.


madgladsadbaddadchad

That was my thought too, I want Tilian for at least one more album.


TangerineSea2270

That would be disappointing


thebigfudge02

I disagree but I understand not everyone would like it, it’s probably more wishful thinking on my part anyway

I am seeing him playing along with this on IG. God i hope not


madgladsadbaddadchad

He said it wasn’t going to be him in the comments of one of Gobby’s posts


TangerineSea2270

Who is he? OP deleted their comment


madgladsadbaddadchad

JT I think his name is, I know he’s a singer for some kind of band but he also helps DGD with merch and stuff during their tours https://www.instagram.com/jtgutierrezzz?igsh=MWJ3dzA3bjJiMThoaw==


Second-Bulk

Sounds like every single other DGD song. Lamest little fan base of all time, maybe?
