Tilian Pearson, known for his role as frontman in Dance Gavin Dance, has just released his brand new single; Cocky. The alternative pop track is off of his upcoming third full-length studio album, The Skeptic, which is due for release on September 28th via Rise Records. Pre-order the new album.

“Musically and in my personal life, I kept thinking, ‘I’ve got to find and explore some new ground,’ ” says Tilian. “I’ve always been so much more questioning than most people around me are. I never really bought into things the way 90% of the crowd does. That sentiment communicated the idea of The Skeptic to me,” he adds.

Tilian will be heading back out on the road next week, starting his North American headline tour. Former DGD vocalist, Kurt Travis, will provide direct support with his new band, Royal Coda, along with Sunsleep.
