Dinosaur Pile-Up

Dinosaur Pile-Up presents I've Felt Better, its fifth album, an alternative rock record about resilience and mental health following the hard personal period of its frontman, Matt Bigland.

I've Felt Better is the fifth album by Dinosaur Pile-Up and comes after a difficult period for its frontman, Matt Bigland, who in 2021 suffered a serious crisis caused by ulcerative colitis and nearly died. That experience in hospital made him reconsider what was truly important, and this process of physical and emotional recovery is the common thread running through the album.

The lyrics deal with resilience, mental health, love and the need to live without wasting time on superficial things. The record alternates powerful anthems with moments of great vulnerability. The band was at its best following Celebrity Mansions (2019) when the pandemic arrived, and the album is, according to the material itself, their most honest and personal work to date.

Among its songs are "Bout To Lose It", "My Way" and the title track. Dinosaur Pile-Up operate in alternative rock and champion authenticity in a music industry that is growing ever more precarious, with a work that celebrates staying alive and continuing to make music.
