Dinosaur Pile-Up

Overcoming life threatening illness and finding a fresh perspective on real priorities, Dinosaur Pile-Up roar back from the brink with their new album I’ve Felt Better, which will be released on 22 August via Mascot Records. There were six people in the ward the second time Matt Bigland admitted himself to the hospital. Three of them didn’t make it out alive. Life is short. It’s fragile. It can end in an instant. That’s the harsh truth with which the Dinosaur Pile-Up frontman has wrestled. Over 12 tracks, I’ve Felt Better is five years of pent-up emotion—hope, despair, resignation, and colossal bravery—Dinosaur Pile-Up at their absolute best: struggle, vulnerability, pain, resilience, and love.

Long renowned for their high-energy live shows and considered one of the UK’s most beloved alt-rock acts, Dinosaur Pile-Up have spent years carving out a dedicated global fanbase, touring with rock heavyweights like The Offspring , Weezer and Sum 41, and lighting up stages at major festivals worldwide. Their last album, Celebrity Mansions, propelled them to new heights, but just as momentum was peaking, the world—and Bigland’s health—came to a sudden halt. Now, after everything, I’ve Felt Better marks not just a return but a reaffirmation of why they do this in the first place.
