Dinosaur Pile Up

Alt-rock band Dinosaur Pile Up take on Future Yard in May 2027. After a 6 year hiatus, the band released their fifth album “I’ve felt better”, which started as a makeshift mantra of frontman’s Matt Bigland after a long battle with ulcerative colitis.

Unwilling to sift through the layers of trauma with every friend who checked-in to see how he was doing – indeed, often unable to speak through a mouth filled with centimetre-wide sores – Matt found himself defaulting to that wry, understated three-word response. After four years of repetition and rattling around his head, those words are reclaimed as the title to Dinosaur Pile-Up’s defiant fifth album: 12 songs to draw a line under a half-decade of sickness and struggle, a distillation of his agonising uncertainty and self-analysis. “People need clarity about what happened,” Matt explains. “It’s been cathartic to lay it all out.”

Ten years of chasing opportunity and betting big on every chance had built Dinosaur Pile-Up into one of the most beloved alt. rock bands in the UK.
