Dinosaur Pile-Up - ‘Bout To Lose It [New Single]

Dinosaur Pile-Up has triumphantly returned with their latest single, "'Bout to Lose It," marking a significant milestone since their last single, a cover of ‘It’s Tricky’ in 2020. This release not only showcases the band's evolution but also reflects frontman Matt Bigland's personal journey through adversity.​

In the years following their 2019 album, "Celebrity Mansions," Bigland faced a life-threatening battle with ulcerative colitis, which left him hospitalized and contemplating his future. He candidly shared his experience, stating, "You think you're halfway through life, but then you realise you might be right at the end." This profound period of vulnerability and reflection has deeply influenced the band's new material. ​

"'Bout to Lose It" serves as a cathartic release of pent-up emotions, blending heavy metal intensity with anthemic hooks. Bigland describes the track as capturing the sensation of being "completely and utterly on the edge of your capacity emotionally," aiming for an "intense and visceral" experience. The song's raw energy and honest lyrics resonate with listeners, reflecting the band's resilience and renewed purpose.​

The accompanying music video complements the song's intensity, offering a visual representation of the band's journey and the themes explored in the track. Fans and critics alike have praised the single, with Album of The Year noting its compelling riff and powerful vocals, expressing excitement for the band's future endeavours.

With "'Bout to Lose It," Dinosaur Pile-Up not only reaffirms their place in the alternative rock scene but also shares a narrative of survival and artistic rebirth, setting the stage for their next chapter.
