But it's, ultimately, a very hopeful and uplifting record.' Radical is 16 tracks of peak-ETID, alchemized by a swampy summoning of Southern Rock and coarse poetry, the music swirls beneath sardonic and clever wordplay, cementing the band as leaders, not followers. 'The songs are realistic in that they acknowledge that things require a lot of work. 'I'm dealing with difficult matters this time that isn't only personal for me, but are, also, universal and more communal experiences,' Keith explains. So, what are YOU going to do about it, if given the gift of death?' While inspired by the unrest and upheaval around the world over the past five years, Radical focuses on humanity, decency, self-worth, and even a bit of spirituality more so than politics. If you read the lyrics and it resonates with you, then you, also, need to recognize that you might be feeling unseen in your current form. Not a full ego death, but indicative that the process needed to start immediately in my own life. It's reflective, but, also, finally, detached. 'I wasn't hiding any secret confessions in metaphors I was very much fed up with living an unfulfilling life and felt that I needed a death (either figuratively or literally) in order to have a fighting chance at finding new meaning.

''Post-Boredom' was the first song I ever wrote that gave me the feeling of real truth,' explains vocalist Keith Buckley. Every Time I Die is Keith Buckley (vocals,) Jordan Buckley (guitar,) Andy 'The Butcher' Williams (guitar,) Steve Micciche (bass,) and Clayton 'Goose' Holyoak (drums.) Today, the band shares 'Post-Boredom,' a mixture of the Nihilistic realism and persistent irritated optimism that powered Punk Rock in the late 70's and Post-hardcore in the early 90's. Produced by Will Putney (A Day to Rememeber, Anti-Flag, Body Count, Four Year Strong,) Radical is the follow-up to 2016's acclaimed Low Teens.

That same year he recorded 'Sukiyaki (My First Lonely Night Without You)' / 'Not Counting Mine' for Vancouver, Washington's Portland Records LTD label, and by 1970 he'd settled in the Northwest, buying a home in Bothell.Radical-era Every Time I Die (CREDIT: Michael Watson)īuffalo-based Hardcore heroes Every Time I Die have just announced their highly-anticipated ninth studio album, Radical, out October 22nd, via Epitaph.
