Dinosaur Pile-Up are among the most beloved alt-rock outfits in the UK. Thanks to their relentless live energy, they have built a dedicated fanbase and have supported global icons like The Offspring, Weezer, and Sum 41 on tour.
Last year, the band literally clawed their way back from the brink with their new album, I’ve Felt Better, inspired by frontman Matt Bigland’s harrowing personal experience. While hospitalized for the second time due to a severe bowel infection, there were six other patients on his ward. Three of them never made it out alive. Life is short, fragile, and can end in an instant—a harsh truth the singer confronts throughout the album.
“I’m proud that we’re still here as a band at all. I’m proud that I’m still here as a person. And I’m just so stoked that I’m still able to make music. That’s what I want to do. That’s why I’m here…,” Matt said.
