Fourteen years and six records in, you might be forgiven for wondering if Buffalo party-metal quintet Every Time I Die might be running out of ideas. The band have always been known for their energy, but surely that must be unsustainable for a band so deep into their career. Besides, all these young Warped Tour upstarts prove that metalcore is a young man’s game, and when you’re cresting the steep side of 30, what have you got left to be angry about? Queue at the post office? The price of thermal underwear? Neighbours kids kicking their ball into your back yard?
Thankfully, with Ex Lives Every Time I Die have once again brandished their somewhat dichotomous mix of youthful exuberance and poetic ability (for the two rarely go hand in hand), and whilst the issues are more mature, their delivery still shows everyone how rock and roll should be done.
