“Sony Music Canada/604 Records artist Theory has added an additional leg of Canadian dates to their 2018 headline tour in celebration of the group’s highly-praised new album WAKE UP CALL. Theory will be returning LIVE in the Schooner Showroom on Sunday, May 13th for one night only appearance.
The new album features the lead single “Rx (Medicate),” which has ascended the charts to claim the #1 spot at Active Rock Radio in the US for multiple weeks. The track which is currently #2 at Rock Radio in Canada has surpassed 14.5 million streams, garnering over one million streams each week. “Rx (Medicate),” debuted alongside an in-depth interview with frontman Tyler Connolly on Billboard. In conjunction with the track, Theory has also partnered with the nonprofit organization, Shatterproof, in an effort to raise awareness about drug addiction and reduce the surrounding stigma.
Recorded with producer Martin Terefe at London’s Kensaltown Studios, WAKE UP CALL finds Theory – Tyler Connolly (lead vocals, lead guitar), David Brenner (rhythm guitar), Dean Back (bass), and Joey Dandeneau (drums) – extending themselves beyond the easy comforts of complacency to create an album that pushes the songwriting envelope with songs like “Rx (Medicate),” which takes aim at the opioid epidemic impacting families across North America and “PCH,” which juxtaposes the nostalgia for seemingly endless nights with friends and the bitter realities of life.
WAKE UP CALL follows 2014’s SAVAGES, which earned Theory their second consecutive Top 10 album on the Billboard 200 and third consecutive #1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart. SAVAGES also featured the #1 Rock Radio smash, “Angel,” which is accompanied by an official music now boasting more than 10 Million views on Theory’s official YouTube channel.
For more than a decade, Theory has been among the most distinctive and popular bands in hard rock history, combining frank, earnest lyricism and extraordinary melodies with massive power and electrifying dynamics. With singer/songwriter Tyler Connolly at the helm, the Vancouver based band has earned a fervent fan following as well as a long line of multi-format hits, among them the #1 Mainstream Rock breakthrough, “Bad Girlfriend” (found on 2008’s RIAA platinum certified SCARS & SOUVENIRS).
