They didn’t overthink it. They didn’t waste a second. They simply left their blood, sweat, and tears on tape—like they’ve always done. For as much as Better Lovers represents the union of former Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley [guitar],Steve Micciche [bass], and Clayton “Goose” Holyoak [drums] with The Dillinger Escape Plan and Killer Be Killed frontman Greg Puciato [vocals],and musician (Fit For An Autopsy/END) and GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, Will Putney [guitar], it really cements the bond of five friends around a shared vision. That vision is as uncompromising, unapologetic, and undeniable as anything they’ve individually done, yet it’s refined by experience and a commitment to a future together. They’re in it for the long haul… “To me, this band is refreshing,” exclaims Jordan. “Looking back, I’m so happy everything got me to where I am. The pandemic and the last few years made me hungrier and more grateful. This isn’t a hobby. This isn’t temporary. This is the next evolution for each of us. Greg and Will rejuvenated me and made me even more confident. Now, everybody needs to know we’re a wild animal that just broke out of the zoo—there’s no trying to put it back in the cage.” “Better Lovers definitely feels like its own thing,” states Greg. “I’m in so many lanes right now, so it was important that one lane didn’t step on another. However, nothing I’m doing is this vicious. This is full-on scathing. It’s been really fun. I forgot how much I liked that.” As the story goes, Jordan ended up back in Buffalo, NY, jamming in a basement rehearsal spot with Steve and Goose during the winter of 2022. After working with Will on the last two Every Time I Die records, they shared a handful of early demos with him to produce. As the year progressed, Jordan caught Greg on the road with Jerry Cantrell in Las Vegas, mentioning the new music. Once ideas solidified, he shared them with the vocalist who replied at 3am one night in December. “The text said, ‘Let’s give these motherfuckers what they want’,”chuckles Jordan. “I went to bed smiling and laughing. There is no one like Greg on stage, off stage, or over text. Once I told Will, he was like, ‘Can I play?’ We said, ‘Of course!’ That’s how it was born.” “Once I pick up the scent, I’ll go for the kill,” smiles Greg. “We’ve all hung out, gotten to know each other, and it’s all fire now. Everyone has already been through shit. You know yourself better. Your ego isn’t as big as it used to be. You can share your opinions. It’s a cool dynamic.” Fittingly, they introduce this era with the single “30 Under 13.” A seasick guitar groove bleeds into an incisive riff punctuated by Greg’s vitriolic and venomous screams, “Hold onto me, try to let go of me, let go of what you’ll never be. ”This barrage unpredictably subsides on a haunting clean vocal, only to ramp back up into a pit-splitting thrash crescendo and rapid-fire solo played at warp speed. “We always try to up our game,” notes Jordan. “This is the next step for all of us. There’s just constant forward motion, and we don’t want to compromise that. We want to keep going. We’re doing a lot of shit we haven’t done before in Better Lovers. I’m not going to spoil it for you, but get ready.” “For some reason, this song got me,” recalls Greg. “Once that happens, you have the toe of the dinosaur skeleton in the dirt. You start brushing it away, and soon you have a fucking T-Rex.” The name might give you a hint of what’s coming—or it might not. So, what does the future hold for Better Lovers? Well, it’s entirely in their control. Expect a lot of touring. Expect more music. Expect these five guys to leave a trail of destruction in their wake—really would you want anything less? “We feel like we’re going to explode if we sit around any longer,” Jordan leaves off. “This is my life’s work. I learned all of my lessons, passed all of the tests, and took all of the right turns and the wrong turns. It turns out what I thought were wrong turns got me here, and that’s all that matters. I have no regrets. I know this is what I’m supposed to be doing.” “I just want you to view this on its own merits,” Greg concludes. “I hope it reaches some new people. For me, the enjoyment is making the music and putting it out. The second it’s released, I don’t look back. You drop the bomb and keep flying the plane. You don’t circle back to see how much destruction you cause. You keep moving, which is what we’re going to do.” Artist Better Lovers Genre Metal / Classic Rock Label SharpTone Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Lie Between The Lines Your Misplaced Self A White Horse Covered In Blood Future Myopia Deliver Us From Life Drowning In A Burning World Everything Was Put Here For Me Superman Died Paralyzed At All Times Love As An Act Of Rebellion Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Better Lovers and more from Metal / Classic Rock View Product Quick View Better Lovers God Made Me An Animal Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th April 2024 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Better Lovers God Made Me An Animal £26.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: SharpTone SKU: 4065629713577 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th April 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Van Halen Women And Children First Metal / Classic Rock | Mobile Fidelity | SACD Released 31st December 2024 £44.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Van Halen Women And Children First £44.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UDSACD2245 Formats: SACD Released Date: 31st December 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood: 2021 Remaster Metal / Classic Rock | BMG | 180g, 1LP Released 14th October 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Motley Crue Dr. Feelgood: 2021 Remaster £22.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: BMG SKU: 4050538782554 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Darkness, The Easter Is Cancelled Metal / Classic Rock | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP Released 4th October 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Darkness, The Easter Is Cancelled £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP736 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Soulfly Soulfly Metal / Classic Rock | BMG | 180g, 2LP Released 1st December 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Soulfly Soulfly £28.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: BMG SKU: 4050538759280 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alpha Wolf a quiet place to die Metal / Classic Rock | SharpTone | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alpha Wolf a quiet place to die £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: SharpTone SKU: 0727361560836 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nazareth Hair of the Dog Metal / Classic Rock | Union Square Music | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 8th July 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nazareth Hair of the Dog £25.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Union Square Music SKU: 4050538801330 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 8th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Extreme Pornograffitti Live 25 / Metal Meltdown (RSD BLACK FRIDAY) Metal / Classic Rock | Loud & Proud | 1LP Released 25th November 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Extreme Pornograffitti Live 25 / Metal Meltdown (RSD BLACK FRIDAY) £20.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Loud & Proud SKU: 0850888007024 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fear Factory Soul Of A New Machine – 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Metal / Classic Rock | Run Out Groove / Rhino Custom Products | 3LP, Includes Poster Released 29th July 2022 £60.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fear Factory Soul Of A New Machine – 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition £60.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Run Out Groove / Rhino Custom Products SKU: 0081227880620 Formats: 3LP, Includes Poster Released Date: 29th July 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Blackberry Smoke Like An Arrow Metal / Classic Rock | Earache | 2LP Released 10th October 2016 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Blackberry Smoke Like An Arrow £17.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Earache SKU: 5055006557428 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 10th October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Municipal Waste Waste ‘Em All (Remastered) Metal / Classic Rock | Nuclear Blast | 1LP Released 29th September 2023 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Municipal Waste Waste ‘Em All (Remastered) £23.00 Genre: Metal / Classic Rock Label: Nuclear Blast SKU: 4065629710118 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Metal / Classic Rock Start again
