About this concert
Since launching in early 2023, metallic hardcore punk band Better Lovers has risen to global prominence at a pace as blistering as their chaotic music. Built from the foundation of Every Time I Die - guitarist Jordan Buckley, drummer Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, and bassist Stephen Micciche - the group could not have gone any harder than rounding out the ranks by enlisting former The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato, and Fit For An Autopsy guitarist and super-producer Will Putney. After tearing it up all around the world for the last two years, and ripping out the absolutely stunning album ‘Highly Irresponsible’ in 2024, the living legends will finally make their Australian debut with six killer shows this coming January. Joining the tour to also make their Australian debut will be the exciting British hybrid of shoegaze, post-hardcore, and nu-metal that is Split Chain, who released their debut album Motionblur earlier this year via the legendary Epitaph Records. The prolific and celebrated Gold Coast screamo/chaotic hardcore outfit Blind Girls will round out this incredibly fresh and compelling package.

Better Lovers Biography
A group of tried-and-true musicians got together and found the sort of camaraderie and kinship you typically only find once in a lifetime. They didn’t overthink it. They didn’t waste a second. 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. As the year progressed, Jordan caught Greg on the road with Jerry Cantrell in Las Vegas, mentioning the new music. Once ideas solidified, he shared them with the vocalist who replied at 3 am one night in December.
“The text said, ‘Let’s give these motherfuckers what they want’,”
