Dinosaur Eyelids

Delivering heavy but melodic and heartfelt rock & roll in the tradition of the alternative rock boom of the '90s, Dinosaur Eyelids are a quartet from New Brunswick, New Jersey featuring vocalist Evan Staats, guitarist Patrick McKnight, bassist Scott Staats, and drummer Mark Leone. Citing the Replacements and Soundgarden as key influences, Dinosaur Eyelids began playing together in the late 2000s, and they self-released their debut album, Winter Solstice, near the end of 2009. Dinosaur Eyelids' second album, Down a River, appeared in February 2011, followed by Conflagration in October 2012. After more regional touring and sharing stages with the likes of Dean Ween and the Parlor Mob, Dinosaur Eyelids dropped album number four, Bypass to Nowhere, in December 2014. ~ Mark Deming
