Former Every Time I Die, The Dillinger Escape Plan Members Announce New Band, Better Lovers

Ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato has teamed up with former Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, and Stephen Micciche and producer Will Putney to form a brand new band called Better Lovers. The other day, the band released their debut single, “30 Under 13”, via SharpTone Records. The band was formed in the aftermath of Every Time I Die dissolving at the beginning of 2022, while The Dillinger Escape Plan performed their final shows back in 2017.

In a press release announcing the creation of the band and the new single, Jordan Buckley stated the following:

“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.”

 Pucitao added:

“Jordan sent me some already finished instrumental tracks, and they hit me at just the right time. Those tracks woke up a side of me that I thought was fully extinct but was merely evolving and changing. To my complete surprise there was still something left in that area to dig at, and the vessel for it made sense.”
