“Tear It Down” follows lead tracks “Play Your Games” and “Saw You Stand” and offers another look behind the curtain of GRETA VAN FLEET‘s majestic new album. “Tear It Down” tempers a bold riff with pensive lyricism. On the verses, GRETA VAN FLEET singer Josh Kiszka confesses, “I’m searching for answers in the shifting clouds. What do we do when it gets too loud?” The chorus explodes to life and presents an answer, “Build it up, then you tear it down.”

“As much as it is a GRETA VAN FLEET record and a rock and roll record at its core, in its heart, it’s a very modern record,” GRETA VAN FLEET lead guitarist Jake Kiszka says.
Recorded in Tennessee in the spring of 2026, “Palace For The People” was co-produced by the band and Mike Elizondo (TURNSTILE, Eminem, Fiona Apple),and showcases a band more vibrant, cohesive and stronger than ever.
“We love each other just as much as ever, if not more, because we’ve got to spend quality time together off of the road,” GRETA VAN FLEET lead singer Josh Kiszka shares. “We’ve grown closer, and we have more to say and share than ever.”
Drummer Danny Wagner concludes: “The minute the four of us step into a room with the shared goal of creating, there is very little that can stop us.”
The album title “Palace For The People” was inspired from GRETA VAN FLEET‘s sold-out 2022 world tour where they headlined the venue — before going onto sell out Wembley Arena — they discovered the origin story of London’s prestigious Alexandra Palace, known colloquially as “Ally Pally. A friend explained that the elaborate grandeur of this Victorian-era “palace”, originally named “The Palace Of The People,” was created as a gathering place for the public. Unlike most lavish buildings of the time, this one wasn’t created for the Monarchs nor the wealthy aristocrats of the day, but for everyone to “escape and wonder,” a truly modern concept for the time. Fast forward to 2026, GRETA VAN FLEET began to wonder: what would a palace for the people mean today? And how do we get there?
“I can’t tell you how many people have come up to me and said ‘This is my best friend. We met through your music or at your show,'” explains GRETA VAN FLEET bassist/keyboardist Sam Kiszka, “and we realized, the music is our palace!”
