Highly Irresponsible

Buffalo, New York's Better Lovers is a hardcore punk unit with an impressive pedigree. Comprised of former members of the Dillinger Escape Plan, Fit for an Autopsy, and Every Time I Die, the band emerged in 2023 after the dissolution of the latter group. With the collective experience of ETID alums Jordan Buckley (guitar), Stephen Micciche (bass), and Clayton Holyoak (drums), along with the vocal prowess of Greg Puciato (DEP) and the production skills of guitarist Will Putney (FFAA), the band is a punitive force to be reckoned with. Their debut EP, God Made Me an Animal, appeared in 2023 on Sharptone, with the full-length Highly Irresponsible arriving the following year. ~ James Christopher
