“We chose ‘It’s Tricky’ because it’s one of my all-time favorite songs, I just love it and it gets me pumped,” says Dinosaur Pile-Up’s Matt Bigland. “We were actually on a drive during a US tour listening to music on the stereo in the van, and we’d been trying to think of which song we should cover – and then ‘It’s Tricky’ came on and Mike turned to me and I turned to Mike and we were both like – WE COULD DO TRICKY!!! And the decision was instantly made. We were stoked on how much fun we could have with it and how heavy we could make it! When we recorded it we basically just had a blast and tried to make it as much fun as possible to record – and I think you can hear that in the track. I hope fans get pumped on it – and slam it on the stereo and party.”
In 2019, Dinosaur Pile-Up released their acclaimed new album Celebrity Mansions via Parlophone Records / Roadrunner Records. Last month, the group shared the official music video for “Round The Bend,” an animated clip that depicts a heart-wrenching story of lost lovers and a car-ride gone wrong. DPU are also set to head out on their largest U.S. headline tour yet, which kicks off April 16th in Cape Coral, Florida. In addition to the headline dates, the group will make festival appearances at Shaky Knees, Epicenter, Welcome To Rockville, and more this spring (see attached tour itinerary).

The album’s release saw Dinosaur Pile-Up lay claim as one of the UK’s most exciting and talked-about rock bands on both sides of the Atlantic. Celebrity Mansions is highlighted by lead single ‘Back Foot,‘ which hit Top 5 at US Rock Radio and is accompanied by an official music video.
