Theory of a Deadman

The band allegedly caught their big break when Tyler Connolly (vocals/guitar) slipped the band’s demo to Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, who had just stared 604 Records in 2001. Shortly after, the band, consisting of Tyler Connolly, Tim Hart, Dave Brenner, and Dean Back, were signed, and released their eponymous album in 2002. There was a bit of criticism found in the album, specifically that the band sounded like a carbon copy to their mentor’s band, however with touring and maturation, the band found their own sound. They turned their own sound into an album, entitled “Gasoline” in 2005, followed by a tour with Shinedown and No Address. Later that same year, the band went on a tour with Breaking Benjamin and The Exies. The following year, the band performed a cover version of “Deadly Game” as the theme song for the World Wrestling Entertainment’s No Way Out 2006.

In 2007 Robin Diaz took over as drummer and in 2008 the band released their third album, “Scars and Souveneirs.” By 2009 the album reached certified gold status, and had songs that appeared on various other media as well as tours. In 2011 the band released “The Truth Is…” followed by a co-headlined the Carnival of Madness Tour with After Bridge. Most recently, the band has released “Savages” on 29 July 2014.
