Every Time I Die Ramp Up To The Release Of Ex-Lives With Video Series

Filed Under: Upcoming releases, Video
Feb.03, 2012

[Welcome one and all to our three thousandth post. I think I claimed the last milestone too. What a dick.]

My most anticipated album of the year - Ex-Lives by Buffalo’s own Every Time I Die – is just around the corner, and in building up to its release the band have been releasing a series of short videos discussing its creation and where they are as a band now. I don’t usually have time for these, but ETID are an intelligent, well-spoken and honest bunch of guys, and I have a lot of time for what they have to say.

On Cutting Ties With Social Networking

Filed Under: Editorials
Jan.19, 2012

At the end of last week, Every Time I Die and The Damned Things frontman Keith Buckley posted a long and obviously well-considered blog entry onto his website. On January 1st 2012, Keith deleted his Instagram account, and removed the temptation to post to Facebook and Twitter constantly by deleting the apps from his phone (although not deleting the accounts, because that shit is hard to get verified).

The piece itself runs at over four and a half thousand words, but his writing style makes it an easy read, and you should definitely go and check it out. No, seriously.

Tl;dr? Fine. Essentially, he wasn’t liking what he saw from friends and other people who, without these outlets to spew forth their every thought, would keep certain controversial or plain retarded opinions to themselves, and he’d be much more inclined to spend time with them.

So, rather than unfollowing/unfriending, which would undoubtedly cause that frankly bizarre overreaction people have to digital snubs, he has instead opted for a full black-out from social media. His decision is summed up perfectly by this:

“So while it may not be ‘polite’ to remove myself from your inexorable stream of self dick-suckery, if you’re that offended you can bring it up in conversation. Unless we don’t have any, because we’re not really friends.”

letlive. Cover Refused’s ‘The Deadly Rhythm‘ In Sweden; Announce U.S Tour With The Devil Wears Prada, Every Time I Die & Oh, Sleeper

Filed Under: Tours and Rumors of Tours, Video
Jan.19, 2012

With all the hustle and bustle about Sweden’s returned punk heroes Refused it’s apt that, on their recent European tour supporting Enter Shikari with Your Demise, American post-hardcore band letlive. saw fit to cover Refused’s track ‘The Deadly Rhythm‘ from The Shape Of Punk To Come when they passed through the Swedish stops of Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö, and the ever-vigilant Rock Sound were there to film it! I like, even though it misses some of the nuances of the original — but that’s punk for you; you’re not supposed to do it ‘properly’!

More importantly, frontman Jason Butler cites Refused as one of the reasons they exist, which given the quality of their most recent release Fake History, is something for which to be thankful.

In related news, letlive. will be heading out on the Dead Throne Tour in support of The Devil Wears Prada with Every Time I Die and Oh, Sleeper at the beginning of March, and despite the meh headliner, this is definitely a tour worth turning up for. Details after the jump!

Every Time I Die’s ‘Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space‘ Gets Official Stream, Album Title [UPDATE - And Tracklisting!] Revealed

Filed Under: Upcoming releases, Video
Jan.03, 2012

We got an unofficial, lo-fi sneak peak of this interestingly-monikered song back in October when it was debuted on Buffalo party metal raconteurs Every Time I Die‘s tour in support of GWAR, but Epitaph Records have now put up an official stream of the song – and it only confirms my speculation that the new album is going to be all kinds of bitching.

‘Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space‘, as it is called, is accompanied by a slightly NSFW video (depending on your viewpoint) directed by frontman Keith Buckley. People with odd injuries and maladies and on fire for unknown reasons an’ that, innit, interspersed with performance shots.

The video ends with the album’s title: Ex-Lives, and Epitaph have also revealed that it will be released on March 6th. That’s really fucking soon. Shit yeah.

[UPDATE]

We also have the tracklisting! Touch yourself, then go pre-order that shit here.

01 Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space

New Cancer Bats Track “Old Blood” Recruits New Blood

Filed Under: New music, Upcoming releases
Jan.03, 2012

I’ve never listened to Cancer Bats before — I was aware of them, but just never got round to listening to them. However, it’s the beginning of a new year and so the perfect chance to try new things, maybe I can write this off as a new year’s resolution or something. Recently the band released a new track “Old Blood” to be played on various radio stations which naturally made its way to YouTube in a matter of days, the low quality rip can be found below:

Well, I’m glad I did because I like what I’m hearing, I know they predate Kvelertak but what I’m hearing is essentially the halfway point between everybody’s favourite Norwegians and the energetic hardcore of Every Time I Die. Definitely the sort of music that would shine in a live situation but still good fun on record. “Old Blood” will be included on the upcoming Cancer Bats album Dead Set On Living, set to be released in April — I may be well behind when it comes to this band but I still have time to catch up!

Every Time I Die’s New Song Is A ‘Typical Miracle‘

Filed Under: New music, Video
Dec.19, 2011

I know i tend to get a little brown in the nose whenever I talk about Buffalo, NY raconteurs Every Time I Die, but I really, really can’t wait for their new record. Performing at the annual Christmas show at Club Infinity in their home town, the band played a brand new song called ‘Typical Miracle‘ which we can assume will be on their upcoming record, which by some reports is due out in spring next year.

There was a bit of a ruckus at this show, however, with fans and security clashing on-stage during ‘We’rewolf‘ and halting the performance. Looks like they got a bit frisky with the band too, who are renowned for their not-giving-of-fucks attitude. I pity the fool who messes with Andy Williams.

I know venues have to think about safety, but that kind of bodily intervention is helping absolutely no-one.

Every Time I Die Ain’t No “Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space“

Filed Under: Audio, Upcoming releases, Video
Oct.26, 2011

I know Buffalo-based southern metal giants Every Time I Die‘s new album won’t be out for a while yet – early 2012 if memory serves – but that hasn’t stopped the band playing new material recently, including on their current run with GWAR and Ghoul on the classily-titled Return Of The Maggot Tour.

The track they’ve been playing – since the end of September at least – is titled “Underwater Bimbos From Outer Space“, and there have been a number of people capturing it on film, which we’ve compiled below for your perusal.

Despite them having lost bassist Josh Newton recently, I’m super stoked for this record and I’m pretty sure it’ll be an early contender for album of the year – ETID have never failed to disappoint me in the slightest, and you’d be well advised to wise up to them sooner rather than later.

As mentioned, they’re currently on tour with GWAR until November 27th, at which point they’ll be jetting over to the UK to headline the Rock Sound Riot Tour as it travels across Europe, and will be joined by Trash Talk, Defeater and Spycatcher. Cannot wait. Dates in the links, and more footage after the jump!

Josh Newton Parts Ways With Every Time I Die

Filed Under: General News
Oct.13, 2011

And so it is that the era of Josh Netwon, the most stable bass player Buffalo metalcore giants Every Time I Die have had – has ended. Tweeted yesterday, and corroborated by Josh himself, he has stepped down after a four year period, before which they went through bass players every couple of years at least – not to mention touring stand-ins.

I believe he has made this decision in order to spend more time at home, which is fairly admirable. When you get to a certain age I guess that’s what you yearn for, and more power to him. As far as I know he’s still in The Damned Things with Keith Buckley, although I’m fairly sure that’s a very sometimes thing that will only require small amounts of road time for him. The departure is completely amicable, and I guess there’s not much more to say than that! Good luck Josh.

We Ask You: What’s Your Favourite Lyric?

Filed Under: We Ask You
Sep.20, 2011

The inspiration for this question is slightly derivative from the actual question itself, but I’ve spent a lot of time over the years thinking about tattoos. It took me a long time to confirm that indeed, I would like one, but I’m not settled on content, design or meaning, but the question of lyrics always comes up.

Whatever your opinion on those types of tattoos, it got me thinking about those that I consider would be important enough. I know I’ve mentioned before in this column that my favourite lyricist is Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die; a true modern raconteur and a a really intelligent guy to boot, and one of his lyrics – the last line sung on The Big Dirty closer “Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Battery” in fact – has psoken volumes to me ever since I heard it:

“It is better to destroy than to create what is meaningless.”

He has many quotable lines, but this one has always rung true for me. People often talk about ‘what’s the harm of X if it’s not hurting anybody”, but if it’s not providing any intrinsic worth then I want rid of it.

I’m getting off point though, but I’m sure you guys have got some good stuff for me though, so let us know what your favourites are and why!
