Theory Of A Dead Man - No Surprise Video
So I was sitting at home playing a fantastic game on the Xbox called Fahrenheit. I finished the game and with all my bonus points I looked through all the extras at the end of the game. It was here that I discovered Theory of A Dead Man and ever since then I’ve been hooked and can’t stop playing their music, be it in the car on the way to work, in the shower, sitting at home, getting ready for a night out and the list goes on.
Because I’ve grown a whole new passion for music since hearing this band, I decided to have a look at where they are from and what success they have had so far. It turns out they are a Canadian rock band from Delta, British Columbia and they were signed by none other than Chad Kroeger of Nickelback fame. They incorporate a wide range of styles very similar to Nickelback and equally as amazing.
They released their first album, titled Theory of a Deadman back in September 2002 and relaeased 4 singles from it. They also release 2 videos called ‘Nothing Could Come Between Us’ and ‘Make Up Your Mind’. It was the 2 videos that set their career off with mainstream recognition.
Tyler Connolly, frontman for Theory, was contacted by Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott, frontman for Saliva, to help with the recording of Hero for the soundtrack to Spider-man, all which helped market the band further and propelled them to win a Juno Award, ‘Band of the Year’ in 2003.
2 years later in 2005, the 2nd album (and the one I stumbled upon) was released, titled Gasoline and featured on the Fahrenheit soundtrack.
In 2006 they performed No Way Out for WWE, (World Wrestling Entertainment’ on pay per view and various songs were released by the band on WWE The Music Volume 8 and WWE Wreckless Intent.
In April this year they released their 3rd album titled Scars and Souvenirs which I have yet to buy but can guarantee it will be fantastic. They are currently touring in the USA with Black Stone Cherry - another great band who I am longing to see - but no UK dates planned yet but I will be the first to be shouting about it when they do!
