Theory of a Deadman biography

Canadian rock/ alternative metal band, Theory Of A Deadman, is originally from Delta, British Columbia, and has been a band since 2001.

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.

Live reviews

Canadian hard rockers Theory of a Deadman have had a varied, successful career since their beginnings in the mid-00s. Having found success in the US and their homeland, in the UK they are a lesser known phenomena. Last year they were given the opportunity to support rock icons Black Stone Cherry and soon found themselves on some of the country's largest stages.

This opportunity can make or break an artist, some cripple under the sheer size of the room they are meant to entertain and leave the stage to heckles and boos. However Theory of a Deadman did not allow this fate to befall them and they successfully took the advantageous platform and made it their own.

Boldly stepping out to the Game of Thrones theme tune, the tone was set and they demonstrated their skill with a short, succinct set featuring hits including 'Bad Girlfriend' and 'Hate My Life' as well as airing some new material. Most importantly they proved to the british rock fans that they had been missing one of Canada's worst kept secrets.
