Hard-hitting new single available now
Multi-Platinum rock band Theory Of A Deadman has returned with their hard-hitting new single “Dinosaur” via Roadrunner Records. The song’s riff lumbers ahead with all the swaggering force of a T-Rex and the grace of a Brontosaurus, while front man Tyler Connolly sinks his teeth into one of the band’s biggest and boldest choruses yet: “Hey kids, boys and girls, now we’ve really done it, it’s the end of the world…Now, we’re going out, going out like the dinosaur.” The release of “Dinosaur,” produced by Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, Yungblud), marks the chart-topping quartet’s first taste of new music since 2020’s acclaimed album Say Nothing and a return to form stylistically.
“‘Dinosaur’ takes us back to our roots with this riff-driven rocker,” shares Connolly. “To me, it feels like it could fit on any of our albums, but I will say if you like the old Theory Of A Deadman, you’ll love the new Theory Of A Deadman.”
“Rock is where we made our bed for all these years,” adds guitarist Dave Brenner. “It’s been a while since we had an up-tempo in-your-face track like this – and it felt good.”
With sky-high hooks, riffs as thick as a 2×4, rumbling grooves, and a razor-sharp sense of humor, Theory Of A Deadman has quietly persisted as an unapologetic, unbreakable, and undeniable hard rock force with major multi-platinum hits and countless sold out shows in each of the past two decades.
Jamming together in basements throughout high school, the band burst out of their small hometown of North Delta, British Columbia with their self-titled album in 2002. In addition to the 2x Platinum breakthrough album Scars & Souvenirs and Gold-certified The Truth Is…, Theory have notched a procession of hits, including the gold-certified “All Or Nothing,” “Bitch Came Back,” and “Lowlife,” Platinum-certified “Angel,” “Hate My Life,” and “Not Meant To Be,” 2x Platinum “Bad Girlfriend,” and 3x Platinum “RX (Medicate).”
As the biggest smash of their career thus far, the latter hit, off their 2017 album Wake Up Call, marked their third No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart and garnered a nomination for Rock Song of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Their impressive catalogue has also logged two Top 10 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and amassed more than one billion collective streams on Spotify alone and over 675 million views on their official YouTube. In 2020, the award-winning band’s seventh studio album Say Nothing landed at No. 2 on the Billboard Alternative Albums Chart and No. 3 on the Rock Albums Chart. Plus, the album, featuring the chart-topping and powerful single “History of Violence.”
Theory Of A Deadman once again deliver a barrage of anthems, beginning with the single “Dinosaur” and more to come.
