From Reddit:
It fucks.
The EP is so good. Can't wait to hear more from them. And hopefully more headlining shows.
All the songs being about how much Jordan hates Keith is wonderful. Who fucking ever knew that Every Time I Die would eventually become the OASIS of Hardcore.
Have had this EP on repeat since the drop - have literally listened to nothing else.
So good and stoked if they do a full length or a second EP.
Not sure of the history here but... I'm pretty sure Greg wrote all of the lyrics. Don't see him writing lyrics about a new bandmate and their hate for one of their past bandmates. I could be 100% wrong but, just doesnt seem like something Greg would write about. Likely just coincidental to those two folk's situation.
So jelly of everyone that got to go to one or both of the double header tonight. Saw they did the Ep, a cover of Rusty Cage, and a couple new tracks.
Last minute swapped my shift around tomorrow so I can make the 3.5 hour drive to Louisville to see better lovers. No one plays within an hour or two of me anyways and with my next show confirmed being in October, can’t afford to miss this band.
Double post. Don’t care. That was the best seven song set I have ever seen. 30 under 13 is crushed live. Cannot wait to see them at a headlining show once we get more music
New track from Better Lovers. VPN to Australia to hear it. Available everywhere else tomorrow.
Heard it on Liquid Metal earlier. It ripssssss.
Any links? I dont have SiriusXM to hear it
From Greg's latest email blast, re: Black Queen....
Oh yeah...we've got like 15 demos for LP3. I'm glad we didn't force it sooner, everything is moving naturally now.
Yeah, totally! Just saying that “confirmed” has a specific connotation compared to “we’re working on it.”
We as fandoms love to say artists “promised” a release in a certain window and then demand they lied to us when that window passes without anything coming out. So it’s always best to err on the side of caution.
Greg said in an interview that there’s a new solo ep coming out in the spring with the a single being out around his Australian shows next month. Better Lovers is hitting the studio soon for their full length as well. He also said TBQ is essentially waiting on him to finish the album so I’m guessing we’ll hear that one late next year at the very earliest. This dude doesn’t rest.
New better lovers track out tomorrow. Heard it on Sirius radio. It’s working title was Punk when they were playing it live and it is so good.
For the one year anniversary of God Made Me an Animal, the released a brand new version of the EP on vinyl with a new cover, color variant and added Two Amongst The Dead & The Flowering (alt. version) on the b-side in place of the etching.
1000 numbered copies. All 500 copies from their webstore sold out in a couple of hours. The remaining 500 are on sale during their tour that starts today.
Greg drops some new minor deets for TBQ. Chris fucking Pennie is in the band now.
I guess that pretty much confirms that Josh is no longer in TBQ. Not that anyone owes us an explanation, but it was always just weird that Josh wasn't on that US tour, and Justin stepped in, and there was never any clarity about whether Josh was just not on the tour or not in the band anymore. Of course we ended up with a great Telefon Tel Aviv record, and then Steve and Justin doing the High Level record, so we got some great stuff out of it. Anyway, glad to hear there's a new record coming along, I can't wait to hear it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Greg say in some interview back then that Josh was still involved with the band, but that he wasn't touring because he wanted to focus on finishing the TTV record? As far as the new album goes, I guess we'll find out for sure if he's involved when it comes out.
