in case you didn't already know, BETTER LOVERS is a hardcore/metalcore supergroup formed in the wake of the dissolution of every time i die, hailing from new york. This group really is super, consisting of vocalist Greg Puciato from the dillinger escape plan, guitarist Will Putney from fit for an autopsy, and guitarist Jordan Buckley , bassist Steve Micciche and drummer Clayton "Goose" Holyoak from every time i die.

with a group of musicians like this, you can expect something special.

still fresh, dropping their first ep in 2023, and a debut album in 2024, better lovers have been on the festival run, creating chaos at aftershock, furnace fest and graspop. these guys are in and out of australia within a week (they'll leave behind tire tracks), so catch them before you miss them!

their international support, split chain, is also something to be excited about. Also fresh on the scene in 2023, the british act fuses post hardcore, nu metal and elements of shoegaze, a crucial key to the current gaze revival. last month they released their debut album, motionblur and you have to check it out.

better lovers will also pick up hardcore screamers blind girls from the gold coast for the tour. they're visceral and raw, on record and when they're opening for bands like Touchè Amorè and militarie gun!
