American post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance have released a new music video for the track “The Stickler”, directed by Sam Link, to coincide with the release of their eleventh studio album “Pantheon” today on September 12.

The album arrives via Rise Records and marks several key shifts for the band. “Pantheon” is the first studio album to officially credit Andrew Wells as co-lead vocalist, following the departure of Tilian Pearson in 2024. It also represents the first full-length project completed since the passing of longtime bassist Tim Feerick.

The video for “The Stickler” debuted the same day as the album, featuring visuals inspired by the 2019 film The Lighthouse. Sam Link, who has collaborated with the band before, once again took the director’s chair for the project.
