DINOSAUR PILE-UP have announced a new album!
Titled I’ve Felt Better, the upcoming album from the Leeds-based alternative rock band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Celebrity Mansions, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Mascot Records.
“This record is about triumph over adversity through perseverance and resilience,” vocalist/guitarist Matt explains about the upcoming new album. “I’m so proud that it actually got made, as its journey was rough, and I’m so proud that it’s going to be out there in the world. I think it will serve as an epitaph to an intensely challenging and defining part of my adult life. But I’m just really stoked that I’m on the other side of it, and it’s now memorialised in solid rock.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, DINOSAUR PILE-UP have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; My Way. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from ‘Bout To Lost It, which was released last month.
“I wrote My Way because I’m gonna do what I want, how I want, my way,” Bigland reflects. “I made peace with the fact that I’m never going to be recognised as ‘cool’, and that I will never be in the ‘what’s hot’ of the rock scene, and that my talents as a songwriter will seemingly never be worthy of mainstream acclaim. As a younger artist, that still held some weight or value in my mind. But that’s OK. I will do my thing my way because I dig what I do. Doing my thing, my way. I love My Way because it’s this crazy mix of an EMINEM-type vibe with a big rock song that even has this kind of ‘Amish farm breakdown ‘ and a hardcore breakdown in the same song. That sounds fun, right!? Sign me the fuck up!!”

And that’s not all from the band! To support their upcoming new album, the band will hit the road and tour across the UK in September this year. Tickets for the tour are available now and can be purchased here.
