While you might assume that Dance Gavin Dance makes dance music, that would be incorrect; the members formed a rock band in 2005 and are from Sacramento, Calif. In 2006, the band released its first EP,
Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean
, and were subsequently signed to Rise Records. It was not until its fifth studio album,
Acceptance Speech
, that Dance Gavin Dance had a record make it into the top 100, with it ranking at No. 42 on the
Billboard
Hot 200 chart. The group's sixth studio album,
Instant Gratification
, made it to No. 32. Fans love watching Dance Gavin Dance live, appreciating the searing vocals of Tilian Pearson and the amazingly fast fingers of guitarist Will Swan.
''Rock is a broad genre that includes hard rock, progressive rock, pop-rock, punk rock, and so many more sounds. When you mention the subcategories of rock, most people can conjure a band in their minds that embodies that category, such as Green Day and punk rock. Dance Gavin Dance likes to ignore being a category and push the rock and roll envelope on every record it releases. While the band has cited its influences as being Radiohead, Deftones, Explosions in the Sky, Glassjaw, and Earth, Wind & Fire, critics have described Dance Gavin Dance as math rock, post-hardcore, experimental rock, progressive rock, jazz fusion, screamo and emo. Dance Gavin Dance enjoys working outside of the normal rules for the rock genre.'

'Dance Gavin Dance's original lead singer, Jonny Craig, had wanted to name a band Dance Gavin Dance for some time. He was originally going to use the name for a band he had been in previously but ended up naming them Ghost Runner on Third instead. So, when he formed his new band, he took it as the chance to use Dance Gavin Dance as a name.'
