Biographie de Theory of a Deadman

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.

Avis

Canadian rock band Theory of a Deadman were the first act to sign to 604 Records, Chad Kroeger from Nickelback’s record label. The affiliation with Kroeger allowed lead singer Tyler Connolly the opportunity to collaborate with him on numerous occasions. Releasing their debut self-titled album in 2002, the band went straight in at number 4 in the Canadian album charts. Connolly’s raspy and rough vocals give the band a country edge, a distinctive quality now synonymous with TOAD. The success of their debut scored them a Juno Award for New Group of the Year. In 2005 “Gasoline” their second album featured their first number one single “No Surprise”. Having toured with the likes of: Mötley Crüe, Black Stone Cherry, Stone Sour, Alter Bridge and Drowning Pool saw them perfect their performances whilst gaining in popularity with the crowds. Once the band hit the stage they are fully in the zone, met by a sea of screams. Dividing the crowd into male and female, Connolly calls for each to scream to see which side is louder before going into the track “Gentlemen”. The crowd go wild throwing their metal horns in the air as they raise their arms steadily fist-pumping as the red and blue lights dart across the stage. Occasionally Dave Brenner (guitar) and Dean Beck (bass) toss their plectrums into the audience as they scramble to make a catch. Slowing it down, Connolly dedicates “All Or Nothing” to the ladies of the crowd which is met with high pitched screams before the band let the crowd to sing the chorus acapella. Leaving “Bad Girlfriend” and “Lowlife” for the encore goes down a storm as Connolly roams to the front of the stage singing into the crowd as they sing it even louder back. One thing you can be sure of is that Theory of a Deadman know how to put on a blooming good rock show.
