Hear debut single from new supergroup Better Lovers (Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan)

Greg Puciato, Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, and Will Putney — who are current and former members of Every Time I Die, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Fit for an Autopsy — have formed a new supergroup called Better Lovers. To accompany the announcement, the band shared their debut single, “30 Under 13,” via SharpTone Records.

The ripping track and music video, directed by Eric Richter, are only a preview of what’s to come, as Putney promises their “collective best work is ahead of us.”

“Looking back, I’m so happy everything got me to where I am,” Buckley says in a press release. “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.”

“Jordan sent me some already finished instrumental tracks, and they hit me at just the right time,” Puciato adds. “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.”
