Rock band Dance Gavin Dance is excited to revisit some old favorites with the upcoming release of Tree City Sessions 3.

Stream the track now here / Watch the Music Video below
 Vocalist Andrew Wells shares: “The entire Tree City Sessions series has given us the opportunity to showcase each lineup’s strengths on various songs throughout the entire catalog. Growing up I was a huge fan of the Deathstar album, so being able to emulate Kurt and bring my own passion to this version of Robot 3 was truly an honor.” Tree City Sessions 3 will be available via Rise Records digitally as well as the label’s webstore on 22nd May 2026, with a full physical retail release to follow on 19th June 2026. There will also be a limited edition tour variant available at shows on the band’s tour from May 22nd (while stock lasts). Pre-save/pre-order the album now.

Tickets for all upcoming dates are on sale now here About Dance Gavin Dance Formed in Sacramento, California in 2005, Dance Gavin Dance – today comprised of vocalist/guitarist Andrew Wells, his fellow frontman Jon Mess, lead guitarist Will Swan, and drummer Matthew Mingus – are a powerhouse of alternative music; true originals and originators alike, crafting an exhilarating cacophony of sounds and disparate styles that harmonizes everything from funk through metalcore to post-hardcore, pop sensibilities colliding with progressive, kaleidoscopic song structures. With four Billboard 200 Top 15 albums to their name and one of the most deeply fanatical fanbases in modern music fuelling millions of record sales and billions of streams, as the esteemed Rock Sound magazine attests: “There is no band on earth like Dance Gavin Dance.” Pantheon, Dance Gavin Dance’s 11th full-length record and the follow-up to 2022’s Jackpot Juicer, is an album born first and foremost from reflection – on what Dance Gavin Dance was, is, and, crucially, could still be. It’s an astonishing listen that sees Dance Gavin Dance shift back towards the band’s heavier, more experimental beginnings. Without forgoing any of the accessibility and songcrafting craft of Jackpot Juicer and 2020’s Afterburner before it, Pantheon succeeds in sandblasting away the pop sheen that has glossed the band’s recent output to leave something altogether edgier, coarser, tactile. Lyrically, it channels thoughts and themes that are similarly abrasive. It’s a record that navigates an undercurrent of instability, frustration and exasperation, the jarring, dueling delivery of Wells and his thrillingly erratic, freeform counterpoint Mess the embodiment of Pantheon’s inner conflicts and confusion. It poses an abundance of questions while rationing its answers. Tree City Sessions 3 Tracklist: 1. It’s Safe To Say You Dig The Backseat 2. The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 3 3. Need Money 4.
