Set to unveil their highly anticipated full length debut album this week via SharpTone Records, Better Lovers have shared one last glimpse of the carnage to come with the release of "Love As An Act of Rebellion".
The track follows in the vein of previous releases with "At All Times", "A White Horse Covered In Blood" and "Future Myopia" all showcasing the elite level aggression and heavy music expertise at the core of Better Lovers. On the latest, as with everything stamped BL thus far, Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, Greg Puciato and Will Putney converge to create organized chaos resulting in explosive, emotive songs that bridge the gap between hardcore and metal.
Vocalist Greg Puciato shared his take on the importance of the latest offering. “This song has become one of my personal top three or four on the record. I knew it was the final song in the tracklisting as soon as I heard the instrumental. It runs the gamut emotionally, starting with this immediate frenetic and urgent desperation, and then ending in this place of uneasy acceptance; acceptance with a question mark.
Extremely satisfying emotionally and stylistically to write vocals to this one... to me this is a full course meal in one song. If I had to show people one song off of the record and one song only, I think this would be the one.”
In celebration of the arrival of Highly Irresponsible, Better Lovers are set to head out on a headlining run of live dates across North American starting November 3rd. The trek will feature support from Full of Hell, SPY, Cloakroom and Gouge Away on select dates. Additionally, Better Lovers will mark their annual BLissmas Holiday extravaganza on December 14th with support from Converge, Freshwater, Twitching Tongues, Dying Wish, Teenage Wrist, Anxious, Atomic Rule and wrestling presented by The Butcher Andy Williams.
Better Lovers will also kick off the new year with a stretch of UK dates in January with support from Frontierer and Greyhaven. A complete list of live dates and cities can be found below. Get tickets - HERE
