VIDEO: First Look - DINOSAUR PILE-UP's New Video for 'Derail'

Already an established name in the UK, Dinosaur Pile-Up is ready to bring their alternative/grunge style rock beats to the states with the brand new single "Derail." The video, a satirical play on a Tarantino-esque gangster film, was filmed in a Californian desert and features the sultry Diana Vickers stabbing a man to death. Check it out below!

Dinosaur Pile-Up formed in 2007 and their debut album Growing Pains led them to much critical acclaim and tours with Pixies and Cage the Elephant. After two years on the road in support of the record, singer and songwriter Matt Bigland went back into the studio to record Nature Nurture an album that promises to "kick you in the face." Matt says:

"I wanted this album to make you feel something, good, bad, whatever. I wanted it to drag whatever was inside of me kicking and screaming and dump it on the tape, so that whoever's listening to it can feel the same. I wanted this album to kick you in the face."

Getting the record made certainly forced Matt to confront a couple of demons. The title track, he says, was in a roundabout way inspired by Marlon Brando's character in Apocalypse Now. As he explains: "He's gone from the height of this controlled, tamed way of being, to the most far-out, bare human instinct he can find. He's gotten to grips with weird character that was under everything else, and he was that person all along - it was just hidden under all these layers. That's feels relevant to what this album is about for me."

The album will be available June 17th. Dinosaur Pile-Up will be headlining a summer tour in the UK this July with plans to tour in the States very soon!
