Just now I was talking about Secret Band as a heavier spin on the style of Dance Gavin Dance, both in the sense that it's sonically similar to DGD and in the sense that it's actually the members of said band. But let's say you'd thrown all those elements in a blender -- DGD's style of post-hardcore, done a little heavier, maybe a little weirder or more out there -- and gotten Secret Band, and then gone "meh" and hit puree again.
That kind of bold "what if-ery" might result in San Jose's Lizard Kingdom, an experimental post-hardcore four-piece that's got some of that Dance Gavin Dance noodleyness in with the rest of its spazzy, jazzy melange. So maybe if Secret Band wasn't your jam, Lizard Kingdom will be. Have a listen to "Suture Babez" from the recently-released Back to the Suture EP just to make sure.
