Sacramento’s own Dance Gavin Dance have unveiled “Strawberry’s Wake”, the second single from their highly-anticipated ninth full-length studio album, "Afterburner". The accompanying music video for “Strawberry’s Wake” is also out today, which follows the five-piece as they board Swan Air for an epic journey in the “friendly” skies.
"Afterburner" will be released on Friday, April 24 via Rise Records. The LP was produced by the group’s frequent collaborator, Kris Crummett, (Issues, Sleeping With Sirens, Mayday Parade) and Drew Fulk a.k.a. WZRD BLD (Lil Wayne, Motionless in White, Bad Wolves). The album is a landmark mission statement that encompasses DGD energy past, present, and future. It’s is a killer and dynamic demonstration of what the quintet does best, and is equal parts aggressive, melodic, and unrestrained.

About Dance Gavin Dance:
Rejecting tired formulas at every step, Dance Gavin Dance merge progressive rock and post-hardcore with thick groove, brilliantly combining experimental music with hooks and a warped sense of humor. 2018’s "Artificial Selection" crashed into the Billboard 200 Chart at No.13, on the strength of the love for fan-favorite predecessors like "Acceptance Speech" (2013), "Instant Gratification" (2015), and "Mothership" (2016), and just as importantly, the band’s mesmerizing and unforgettable live performances. "Artificial Selection" went on to sell over 112k copies and counting. In the U.S. alone, the group has amassed over 610 million streams, with 840,000 album equivalent units sold across their catalog. With hundreds of thousands of rabid fans engaged with DGD on socials, it all amounts to a full force band facing a mainstream that has overlooked them for too long.
In the heady tradition of Frank Zappa and Nirvana – people who made serious art without ever seeming self-serious – DGD is a band that does what they want, how they want, confident that the audience will keep up.
