Dinosaur "Bones"

Although dinosaurs have been extinct for 65 million years they are still very much alive and well in the world of rock music. Indie rock band Dinosaur Bones from Toronto are one of Canada’s hottest new acts. With a new album on the way Dinosaur Bones are destined for great things. Coming from Canada, home to so many great dinosaur finds, their name is inspirational.
Cross the border to the USA, another country rich in dinosaur finds, and Dinosaur Jnr have been around since the 80s. They almost became extinct like their namesakes when in 1997 they disbanded, but fans were delighted when in 2005 they reformed with a slightly altered line up. Their style of heavy rock has won many followers and they continue to tour and produce albums to this day. However the most innovative dinosaur named rocker was probably Marc Bolan’s T-rex. They rose to mega-stardom in the 70s until his untimely death in a car crash in 1977.
