Entwining thoughtful verses and anthemic choruses, DENS (formerly "The Worship Collective") is an alternative rock band that delivers music that invites the listener to be a part of the experience. They eloquently weave instrumentation with lyrical content focused on the themes of hope, redemption, and grace. This four-piece released its first EP in 2011, its second EP in 2013, a Lithuanian-exclusive EP in 2015, and a full length in 2016. According to Brandon Osborne (drummer), “DENS exists to create music that points to the beauty of God and the truth of the Gospel.” Josh Waltman (guitarist) sums it up, “We believe in being real and serving others. We love the music, but we also love the people and the relationships.” For DENS, the music is an honest vehicle for the message, creativity, and relationships. They work with venues, conferences, and churches (two members are pastors) to create an energetic and engaging live performance.
