Description
A group of tried-and-true musicians got together and found the sort of camaraderie and kinship you typically only find
once in a lifetime. They didnt overthink it. They didnt waste a second. They simply left their blood, sweat, and tears on
tapelike theyve 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 asuncompromising, unapologetic, and undeniable as anything theyve individually done, yet its refined by experience and a commitment to a future together. Theyre in it for the long haul… To me, this band is refreshing, exclaims Jordan.
Looking back, Im so happy everything got me to where I am. The pandemic and the last few years made me hungrier
and more grateful. This isnt a hobby. This isnt 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 were a wild animal that just broke out of the zootheres no trying to put it back in the cage. Better Lovers definitely feels like its own thing, states Greg. Im in so many lanes right now, so it was important that one lane didnt step on another. However, nothing Im doing is this vicious. This is full-on scathing. Its 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, Lets 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! Thats how it was born. Once I pick up the scent, Ill go for the kill, smiles Greg.
Weve all hung out, gotten to know each other, and its all fire now. Everyone has already been through shit. You know
yourself better. Your ego isnt as big as it used to be. You can share your opinions. Its a cool dynamic.
