Theory Of A Deadman

The Cinderella story of Theory of a Deadman has the soft-lit charm of a VH1 rockumentary: Lead singer Tyler Connolly slipped Nickelback hunk Chad Kroeger a demo while at an after-show party; he liked it, signed them and made them rock stars in his own likeness. The Canadian band has followed the footsteps of Nickelback very closely, with soaring choruses and albums that seethe with angsty sentimentality. The group issued their self-titled debut in 2002, Gasoline in 2005, and Scars & Souvenirs in 2008.
