They simply left their blood, sweat, and tears on tape—like they’ve 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 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 as uncompromising, unapologetic, and undeniable as anything they’ve individually done, yet it’s refined by experience and a commitment to a future together. They’re in it for the long haul. Jordan ended up back in Buffalo, NY, jamming 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.

A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah. Forty nine years ago. ’God will be watching’ she said. Well, at least he got to see the game. The point is, life could be so much better so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.

Comedian, actress, singer and writer, Rachel Galvo invites you to join her raunchy one woman show, 'The Shite Feminist'.  Reflecting on the forces that have shaped her – from an Irish Catholic upbringing (Private, of course) to awkward sexual encounters – Rachel considers the choices that threw her South Dublin life drastically off-course. In the wake of the pandemic, Rachel ditched her business degree to pursue her creative dreams at a performing arts college in London. Written during her master’s year, The Shite Feminist is a form of radical self-love - a naughty, raucous, thought provoking and life affirming one woman show from one of Ireland’s most exciting new creative talents.
