Multi-platinum rock band Theory Of A Deadman has returned with their hard-hitting new music video for “Dinosaur”, directed by Tony Corella (hozier, Noah Cyrus). The release of the single last month marks the chart-topping quartet’s first taste of new music since 2020’s acclaimed album Say Nothing and a return to form stylistically. The hard-hitting, riff-heavy track is produced by Martin Terefe (Jason Mraz, YUNGBLUD)

“Dinosaur” is a hard rock doomsday party of epic proportions. Built around a crushing riff and a massive chorus, the track delivers its end-of-days message with swagger and style. Lead singer Tyler Connolly soars over the top of a big beat like a boss– so what if it’s the end of the world? The music video for the song is ferociously entertaining and not quickly forgotten. The T-Rex suits, alone, make it worth your while. “Dinosaur” is a kick-in-the-teeth hard rocker that’ll get you up, moving, and smiling at our own impending demise. You can’t do much better than that.

“This was another fun video to make with director Tony Corella, who we also worked with for the ‘Blow’ video,” shares front man Tyler Connolly. “We felt it was important to lead off with a lighthearted video that is sure to have you smiling as you rock out to the track!!”

With sky-high hooks, riffs as thick as a 2×4, rumbling grooves, and a razor-sharp sense of humor, Theory Of A Deadman — Tyler Connolly [lead vocals, guitar], Dave Brenner [guitar, backing vocals], Dean Back [bass], and Joey Dandeneau [drums, backing vocals] — have 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 the self-titled, Theory of a Deadman, during 2002.

“‘Dinosaur’ is a straight-up riff-driven rocker, and boy, is it riff solid.”
– Guitar World

“[‘Dinosaur’] feels more on the harder rock side of the band’s sound, with energetic guitars pulsing through your speakers.”– Loudwire

“‘Dinosaur’ is a riff-driven prediction of the end of the world from a hard rock point of view…The guitars and drums rock like thunder and lead singer Tyler Connolly delivers his message with the grit it deserves.”– Rock and Blues Muse

In addition to the double-platinum breakthrough album Scars & Souvenirs [2008] and gold-certified The Truth Is… [2011], 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,” double-platinum “Bad Girlfriend,” and triple-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 #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 1 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 #2 on the Billboard Alternative Albums Chart and #3 on the Rock Albums Chart. And now, once again, Theory Of A Deadman delivers a barrage of rock anthems, beginning with the single “Dinosaur” and more to come.
