Dinosaur Pile Up have released a new single.
Back Foot is the second song to be taken from their upcoming album, ‘Celebrity Mansions’, which is due for release on June 7 via Parlophone Records.
After dropping Thrash Metal Cassette in March, the heavy rock track has a distinctly 1990s grunge-come-pop-punk aesthetic. The slacker rock band team a heavily distorted guitar riff in the chorus with an almost rapped verse from front man Matt Bigland. Its comical accompanying video depicts the group’s quest for fame via a mind-numbing nine to five job and the endless nag of parents.
Regarding the new album, Bigland commented:
“It’s a reference to when we were on tour, questioning whether we’d wasted our lives doing this, wondering if we’d ever get a break. I’d see what you’d call ‘Influencers’ on Instagram. Popstars making money from being attractive. People with seemingly nothing to say. And I’d just think, ‘Surely there’s more to life than this. Surely people want more than this. Surely they want some substance. I mean, we’re talking about music. It matters.’”
Dinosaur Pile Up have lined up a slot at Download festival this summer, as well as supporting Shinedown on tour across the US.
