Downtown Battle Mountain

"Downtown Battle Mountain" is the debut studio album by American post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance, released on May 15, 2007 by Rise Records. According to an interview with vocalist Jonathan Mess, the album took its name from Battle Mountain, Nevada which the band visited while the album was being written. It was produced by Kris Crummett, who mastered their EP Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean. This was the last Dance Gavin Dance album to have Sean O'Sullivan on guitar, and the only full length album to have Jonny Craig on vocals, until his rejoining in 2010. The album peaked at 46 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart. A sequel to the album, entitled Downtown Battle Mountain II, was released on March 8, 2011.
