Dusty Gannon and the Agonal Gasps are a goth rock and post-punk band from Athens, Georgia, formed in late 2025 by Dusty Gannon - an Afghanistan veteran, firefighter, and former frontman of Vision Video - after that band dissolved at the end of a North American tour. The group releases music on Defibrillator Records and is known for outspoken antifascist politics woven into both lyrics and public statements. Gannon built a wide online following under the nickname "Goth Dad" during the pandemic years.
The band released the second single "Death Knell" (April 3, 2026) on Bandcamp; the proceeds from sales were donated to support anti-war activities in Washington D.C.
The debut single "Hold Fast" was released on February 1, 2026 on the Defibrillator Records label; the proceeds from sales were donated to the ACLU.
Dusty Gannon gave an interview for the Lunar Confessions podcast (published May 24, 2026), where he talked about the band's new project and plans.
Vision Video disbanded at the end of 2025 after a North American tour, which included a performance at the opening event of the ColdWaves festival in Chicago.
