By challenging each other to progress, Better Lovers challenge heavy music to move forward along withthem.Driven by the same restless spiritand clear intention, this cohort of longtime musicians have ralliedaround a shared vision of creative fearlessness and relentless energy.Playing with a chemistry borderingon magic, themusicians—Greg Puciato [vocals], Jordan Buckley [guitar], Will Putney [guitar, producer],Steve Micciche [bass], and Clayton“Goose”Holyoak [drums]—naturally evolve on their2024 full-lengthdebut album,Highly Irresponsible[Sharptone Records].Puciatokeeps it simple, “New album. First full-length. It’s a typical thing to say, but we’reexcited to startgetting this thing out there. Everyone really brought their best to this and brought out the best in eachother.”It’s been that way since the winter of 2022 when longtime friends Jordan, Steve, and Goose congregatedin a coldBuffalo, NYbasement to jam, sowingtheseeds for early song ideas. They initially tapped Will toproduce(he also jumped at the chance to play guitar), while Greg officially joined the fold upon hearingdemos. Without warningin 2023, the group made their presence known with“30Under13”followed bytheGod Made Me An AnimalEP.Metal Hammerchristened the latter“one of the finest examples ofsavage modern hardcore you’ll hear in 2023.”Incitingfurthercritical applause,Revolverraved,“theyattack like a fresh,hungry band out for blood. Which is what they are,”andKERRANG!profiled themwith a cover story. Not to mention, they sold out the bulk of dates on their very first tour.They capitalized upon and catalyzed this momentum intoHighly Irresponsible.Putney resumed his roleas producer, and the bandmates ignited ten tracks with calculated intensity.
