[TOUR] Way the Dino Scream (恐龙怎么叫) is a Gen Z indie emo band formed by young musicians from Wuhan and Changsha, China. Emerging as a standout act in the current emo revival, their sound defies easy categorization. Drawing a quirky connection between prehistoric dinosaurs and today’s youth, the band deconstructs heavy themes like life, death, love, and growing up through a playful lens, frequently weaving internet memes into their lyrics to soften the gravity of it all. Drawing musical inspiration from acts such as Hom Shenhao (Touming Magazine), Chinese Football, Forest, and Weezer, the band follows a simple ethos: “Complex arrangements don’t always need brooding themes.” They remain true to their instincts and the passion that brought them together in the first place. In 2026, they released their debut EP, “The Schoo Day We Spent With a Brachiosaurus” (校园里有长颈龙的日子), through their own imprint, The Wallers. The opening track, “Intro” opens with fuzzy, radio-like spoken-word dialogue, establishing the “dinosaur” motif that runs throughout the EP. Fresh off several dates across the Greater Bay Area, the band is embarking on the next leg of their tour on August 13, taking them to Kaili and Chengdu before wrapping up at Nuts Livehouse in Chongqing.
[巡演] 恐龙怎么叫（Way the Dino Scream）是一支 00 后的独立 emo 乐队，由来自中国武汉和长沙两地的年轻人组成。虽说他们被看作是一支在情绪摇滚复兴浪潮中备受关注的新兴乐队，但他们的音乐风格并不单一。他们在史前动物恐龙和当代年轻人之间找到了某种幽默与共性，用这一方式解构着生与死、爱与成长这些沉重的命题，他们甚至会在歌词里塞入互联网 meme 元素来消解严肃性。在创作上，他们受洪申豪（透明杂志）、Chinese Football、Forest、Weezer 的影响，坚持“复杂的编排不一定要搭配深沉的内容”，忠于直觉与初心。2026 年，由他们自己的厂牌挂壁唱片（The Wallers ）发行了首张 EP 《校园里有长颈龙的日子》，开篇曲《恐龙的时代还是结束了》以收音机噪点质感的念白拉开序幕，”恐龙”作为核心意象贯穿整张作品。近日，在结束大湾区的几站之后，从8月13日起，他们将前往凯里、成都，最终将巡演收官在坚果Livehouse。
