Better Lovers, the new band featuring ex-Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley, Clayton "Goose" Holyoak, and Stephen Micciche alongside former The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato and Will Putney of Fit For An Autopsy, played their first-ever show on July 13 at the Rec Room in Buffalo, NY. Fan-filmed footage is available and holy shit it's insane.
The show was preceded with a speech from former Every Time I Die guitarist Andy Williams, who got pretty emotional. It's tough not to choke up watching the dude, really. "Three of my best friends are about to come up here and destroy you guys," said Williams. "I'm so happy I can be here for it. I love them to death, and I'm gonna let you know something – the three people from that last band that are on this stage right now are the ones that gave a fuck about you guys."
