Theory Of A Deadman News!

The new Theory of a Deadman album, The Truth Is…, was heavily inspired by singer Tyler Connolly’s divorce and move to Los Angeles. The singer/guitarist told Billboard that he felt that the songwriting was driven by the relationship "ending not to my liking, me having to deal with the consequences, continuing life in a strange city, all alone. It's all true, which is a good thing; it would be funky if people were like, 'Why does the album sound like this?' and I'd be going, 'I dunno…" Working with producer Howard Benson, Connolly explains that Benson would, "go over every single word with me and go, 'What does this mean? I'm not clear what you're trying to say here...' and that made everything stronger. Howard's point was when a 14-year-old girl listens to a song on the radio, she doesn't focus on what the bass is doing or the guitar noodling. She's just really listening to what I'm saying, so everything had to make sense." The group begins touring for the new album tonight (July 22) in Wisconsin, and will be part of the Carnival of Madness tour with Alter Bridge, Black Stone Cherry, Adelitas Way and Emphatic.
