Vancouver, Canada's Theory of a Deadman became the first act to sign
with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's 604 Records imprint in 2001.
Tyler Connolly (vocals/guitar) reportedly slipped a copy of the band's
demo to Kroeger at a post-concert party and the two were soon
collaborating on songs together. One of these, "Invisible Man," was used
as the B-side for 2002's wildly successful Spider-Man theme "Hero" (a
Kroeger collaboration with Saliva singer Josey Scott), and anticipated
Theory of a Deadman's self-titled debut the same year. Also featuring
Dave Brenner (guitar), Dean Back (bass), and Tim Hart (drums), the
album's hook-laden, emotional hard rock sounded very similar to their
celebrity benefactor's band; almost disturbingly so, actually. But a
healthy touring work load and simple maturation ultimately helped Theory
of a Deadman break out of that confining stylistic box for their more
varied and distinctive sophomore effort, Gasoline, which was recorded
with session drummer Robin Diaz. The trio later tapped veteran
journeyman Brent Fitz (formerly of Union and Vince Neil's solo band) as
their new permanent touring drummer. Theory of a Deadman returned to the
studio in 2007 to record their third album, Scars and Souvenirs, which
was produced by Howard Benson. The album was released in April 2008, and
was certified gold in less than a year. The hard-hitting Canadian
rockers' fourth studio album, The Truth Is..., which was preceded by the
single "Lowlife," dropped on July 12, 2011, and was followed by a
co-headlining tour with Alter Bridge under the banner the Carnival of
Madness, which also included Adelitas Way, Black Stone Cherry, and
Emphatic. In 2014, the bandmembers announced they were working on an
album, and a new single, "Drown," arrived in April of that year. Their
fifth album, Savages, followed in July of 2014. In October 2017 the band
released a music video for the song "Rx" in anticipation of the arrival
of the full-length Wake Up Call, which dropped later that month.
