“It’s great, rowdy fun and nothing gets in the way of the tunes” Guardian, 4/5
“Growing Pains is one of the most explosive, exhilarating and emotionally charged debuts from a British rock band in recent memory” Kerrang!, 4/5
“one hell of an exciting listen” NME
“infused with the spirit of 90‘s alternative rock, encompassing shades of everyone from Weezer to the Foo Fighters, Dinosaur Pile-Up have a similar knack for blending chunky rock riffs and poppy melodies to thrilling effect” Rock Sound, 9/10
Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Growing Pains’ last year, DINOSAUR PILE-UP are set to release new single ‘My Rock N Roll’ on 14th March, following their run on the Rock Sound Exposure tour which kicks off on 17th Feb.
Frontman Matt Bigland says of the track “My Rock N Roll is one of the first songs I wrote for Dinosaur, kind of when I was just working my shit out. I wrote it in an attic I was living in at the time. For me it’s about relationships and how your life works when you’ve something driving you to the edge. For me that’s music, which I guess is pretty obvious in the title. Sounds stupid maybe, but you’d be surprised how much trouble a riff can get you in!”
The band is also excited about hitting the road again this year. Bigland says “I can’t wait to get out on the road with Japanese Voyeurs and The Xcerts in February for the Rock Sound tour. I love those guys so it’s gonna be great to be out on the road with good friends. There’s nothing like touring with bands that you dig.”
