British alt-rock trio Dinosaur Pile-Up is gearing up for the release of their third studio album “ELEVEN ELEVEN” via SO Recordings / Caroline on August 26, 2016.

ELEVEN ELEVEN takes the band into heavier and more intense territory, evoking the riffage and strains of their heroes Quicksand, Refused, Deftones and Helmet.

“What’s really exciting for us about this record is it's the first time we've ever been able to capture the energy and flow that we have live,” says vocalist/guitarist Matt Bigland. “Because it's the first time we've recorded an album together in a room, like when we are playing live or rehearsing, we were able to shape the songs and put them down in the way we want to play them live. Whenever we wanted something to be heavier, or more intense, we just changed it there and then. It was awesome. So we feel really good about it. It sounds like us, right now."

Produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Band of Skulls, Killing Joke, Turbowolf, Siouxsie), the album features crushing, jagged riffs that beef up the flesh on this Dinosaur’s bones

Calling on the age-old symbol of synchronicity in numerology, the crushing first single “11:11” became not only the introductory track for the new album but also a sign. “The whole 11:11 thing is an obsession of ours, and our whole crew now,” Bigland explains. “We see it everywhere. I guess the song is about self-belief. It’s about being empowered and finding significance in insignificance.” The official video displays the band at their most visceral, performing the song with scenes interspersed with snippets of their live shows, including scenes from their supporting slot opening for Brand New in the US. 

The track is now available for purchase worldwide as of today and the official video can be viewed here.
