... This bands work ethic, unique blend of southern rock and technical “noise core” along with their contagious personalities; which are teeming with cynical humor and a refreshing lightheartedness have helped Every Time I Die amass a fan base of all ages across the country. Their indefinable musical compositions cater to enthusiasts of hardcore, metal, emo, and rock and roll alike without compromising its sincerity or energy. Their live performances are an emotional catharsis as well as an inspiring interaction between the band and their audience. But more so, it shows what happens when a group of five individuals dedicate their lives to their craft.
Keep an eye out for the newest Every Time I Die 10 song opus on Ferret Music entitled Hot Damn! – repackaged with the minute DVD titled At Home With Every Time I Die, in which the band makes an unapologetic advance over the lines of hardcore music.
Born in the winter of 1998, Every Time I Die quickly garnered local acclaim by releasing a four song self titled demo. Playing shows with friends in Victory Records own Buried Alive, vocalist Keith Buckley, guitarists Andy Williams and Jordan Buckley, drummer Michael Novak and bassist John McCarthy set off through New York State and parts of Canada on a short tour, where they were scouted by Chris Logan of Goodfellow Records and offered an opportunity to put out the five song E.P entitled The Burial Plot Bidding War. Though a somewhat inexperienced and coarsely recorded release, it established the foundation of gritty, unrequitedly heartfelt and chaotic music that Every Time I Die would build upon.
After replacing John McCarthy with fellow Buffalonian Aaron Radaczyk, Every Time I Die signed with Ferret Records and, following a fluctuating and often brief routine of touring, recorded Last Night In Town at Zing Studios with Adam D- drummer and now guitarist of the renowned metal act Killswitch Engage. Drawing inspiration from a spectrum of musical predecessors, the band found itself producing a compendium of musical tastes and talents, fusing a genuine and infectious rock n’ roll attitude with meticulously crafted guitar work, defined and punishing drums, bass lines and unorthodox lyrics.
Once the C.D was released in 2001, Every Time I Die immediately enlisted in an East Coast tour with headliners Killswitch Engage and whetted their appetite for a touring schedule that would commit them to the relentless roads of North America for over two years. Joining forces with bands like Trustkills Poison The Well, Eighteen Visions and American Nightmare, Every Time I Die had done almost everything within the first year of their freshmen release that such a young band could hope to accomplish.
In the summer of 2002, after once again replacing their bassist with current member Steve Micciche, they were part of a brief Warp Tour stint, two full U.S tours with Bleeding Through, Norma Jean and Hopesfall, and helped to promote the artwork of the much acclaimed Derek Hess by co-headlining one of two stages at a yearly festival in Cleveland known as HessFest. Since then they have played Hellfest in Syracuse N.Y for three years in a row, South by Southwest in Austin, Texas and Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama. In fact, it was their performance at New York’s CMJ fest, which earned them the opening spot for the traveling road show of Jackass’s Steve-O. Recently, they have toured Canada and some of the East Coast with two of the biggest hardcore/metal bands in the world, Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan.
