Multi-platinum band THEORY (Theory Of A Deadman) has released their seventh studio album, Say Nothing. The 10-track collection, available now via Atlantic Records, features the powerful lead single “History Of Violence,” which turns the tables on a story of domestic violence and is currently #3 at Active Rock Radio. to watch the gripping video, illustrating a searing snapshot of a woman enduring an abusive husband as she plans to fight back, eventually ending up in jail but free of her abuser. Coinciding with the album’s release, THEORY – Tyler Connolly [lead vocals, guitar], Dave Brenner [guitar, backing vocals], Dean Back [bass], and Joey Dandeneau [drums, backing vocals] – has also dropped the official music video for “World Keeps Spinning,” a profoundly personal track written by Connolly about depression and anxiety. The new video was directed by Sam Sulam, who also helmed the video for “History Of Violence.” PRESS HERE to watch and check out the first story on the “World Keeps Spinning” video via Substream Magazine.
On Say Nothing, already being hailed their best album to date, THEORY is speaking up through timely lyrical commentary that finds the band’s finger on the pulse of the current climate and the issues that our society is grappling with today including domestic violence, racism, the divisiveness in American politics, and anxiety and depression, all threaded together with a message that’s both a cautionary warning and a hopeful wish for our collective future. With “History of Violence,” which has racked up more than 5 million collective streams, THEORY has been encouraging anyone affected by domestic abuse to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) for help.
THEORY has also partnered with PLUS1 to donate $1 from every ticket sold for their upcoming U.S. tour to organizations dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic violence and building a community free of abuse. Elsewhere on Say Nothing, the title track offers up a stark, emotional confessional about a communication breakdown in a relationship that ultimately leads to its demise and “Strangers“ addresses the current tense state of American politics and the divisive nature of our culture, calling out how nasty it has become between those with differing political affiliations and our society’s increasing inability to openly listen and relate to one another.
With undeniable anthems, scorching songcraft, experimental vision, rock ‘n’ roll attitude, and clever pop ambition, THEORYpeels back the layers of their depth and breadth like never before. Say Nothing, recorded in London with producer Martin Terefe [Jason Mraz, Yungblud], is a continuation of their musical and thematic evolution, displaying the band’s powerful storytelling in full force and introducing fresh sounds and sonics. See below for full tracklisting.
