Every Time I Die

Sixteen years since inception, the revered hardcore band isn't resting on its laurels

No frills, no fireworks and no banner – but whether one of the already converted or just attending out of curiosity on a Saturday night, few left without a grin that you would have required a sandblaster to remove.

"For us, it’s like, ‘Really? You like me? – I’m a fat, thirty-six-year-old guy with tattoos and no aspiration to do anything else in my life – I can’t believe you think I’m cool.’"

They're one of the good guys in the heavy music scene. Fun, no-nonsense and always up for the occasion, Every Time I Die return to our shores this October for an anticipated headline tour. Killyourstereo.com sits down with guitarist Andy Williams to talk about the upcoming shows, elaborate pro wrestling personas and Dr Pepper ads.

Get ready for an epic live show!

“I fucking hate it. I hate it because I think so many good things get lost in people’s frenzy to get something new. People get tired of stuff so quick and I don’t think that a lot of things that should be paid attention to get the attention they deserve."

"At that point in my life, I just felt stuck. I mean, everyone goes through it; I’m just lucky enough to be in a band that I can write about it”

“It’s not the way this band works. We don’t really compliment each other very much. But as long as they didn’t tell me to change it or anything then they must have liked it.”

Every Time I Die are one of the good guys in the heavy music scene. A great sound to go with an equally great attitude. With ‘Ex Lives’ now eight months into the listener’s psyche, the Buffalo heavy-hitters are gearing up to return to Australia for January’s Big Day Out. KYS recently caught up with frontman Keith Buckley to discuss music, Larry David moments and how they want to play at your party.

"I want to be dead with my friends" screams Keith Buckley to open up the new Every Time I Die record 'Ex-Lives,' the band's sixth in what has become a long running, successful career. This sentence suits the front man who has led his band through a relentless touring and partying schedule, building their ever-growing fan base the old fashioned way, by being one with the people and being good, down-to-earth dudes. Kill Your Stereo had a chat with Buckley about the new record and anything else that popped up...

You've got to love when the output matches the hype.
