Drop Dead, Gorgeous

Drop Dead, Gorgeous emerged in the mid-2000s with an emotionally charged take on post-hardcore that helped define the era. As teenagers from Denver, their 2006 debut In Vogue became a landmark for Rise Records, blending synth-laced breakdowns, theatrical flair, and raw vulnerability. Follow-up albums like Worse Than a Fairy Tale and The Hot N’ Heavy cemented their place in the scene, influencing a wave of bands that followed.

After a decade-long hiatus, core members Daniel “Stills” Stillman, Danny Cooper, and Jake Hansen returned in 2024 with a string of surprise shows and, in 2025, released their first new music in years with the single “Six Feet.” Now, the band is set to continue that momentum with their upcoming track “Burn”, produced by Elliot Polokoff and mastered by Grammy-winner Ted Jensen. Drop Dead, Gorgeous isn’t chasing the past, they’re building something new: heavier, sharper, and just as honest as ever.
