"Gasoline is what it takes to get things moving,
and this is the album that's going to take us from one
place to another," said lead singer Tyler Connelly,
of Theory of a Deadman.
Theory of a Deadman has prepared to tour since the
release of the newest album earlier in 2005, which
was written in just six months. Since the release
of the song Santa Monica, a heart wrenching song
about a guy's girlfriend leaving to California, it
has been receiving a lot of airtime. Some of the
other tracks on the album include No
Surprise, which has a combination of electric
and acoustic guitar, Hating Hollywood, that has more
a heavy rock feel to it, and Since You've
Been Gone, which features the vocal skills of
Connelly.
The tour is stopping at Loyalist College's Shark
Tank Pub, and then ending a month later in their
hometown of Vancouver on Dec. 16.
The band enjoys to play anywhere from packed arenas
to pubs at college's.
"Kids in school, they go nuts for shows because
I think they feel like they spend everyday at school;
they're doing their studying, their homework, and when
it's time to sit back and enjoy the show, they just
seem to let loose and really enjoy themselves and I
think that's awesome," said lead guitarist Dave
Brenner.
Theory of a Deadman is currently touring with Hurst,
the four-man rock group from Winnipeg.
"They're a great band and a great bunch of guys," Brenner
said. "We're always happy to hear that they're
on the bill and every time we play in Canada we always
try and get them on the bill if they aren't too busy."
Writing all their own songs and music, each band member
gets their inspiration differently. Connelly writes
from personal experience.
"I just think that if you want to be real, you
have to write from the heart," said Connelly.
When Brenner picks up his guitar his mood really affects
the way he plays.
"If you're feeling good or feeling bad I think
that really affects the way I play and what comes out
of me," he said.
