  Better Lovers drop a highly irresponsible-inspired video with the release of “ Love As An Act Of Rebellion ,” the final preview of their debut album Highly Irresponsible (out this Friday, Oct. 25, via SharpTone Records). “Here’s one more appetizer before the Highly Irresponsible main course is served this Friday,” Jordan Buckley dishes. “Some crispy green beans before your Buddha’s Fest. A blooming onion before your slow roasted prime rib. Unlimited soup and salad before your Tour of Italy. ‘Love As An Act of Rebellion’ is now out everywhere. Learn the words, answer The Knock™️!” Greg Puciato adds: “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 stylistical...

  One of the year’s most highly-anticipated debut albums, Better Lovers’ 'Highly Irresponsible' arrives Oct. 25 via SharpTone Records, and in the lead-up, the band – comprised of Jordan Buckley, Goose Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, Greg Puciato, and Will Putney - has offered up a second preview with today’s release of “Future Myopia” ( https://youtu.be/buhX7go8eQ8 ). “Not that all of them weren’t, but this one was a lot of fun to write,” Greg Puciato says of the explosive track. “The bass-centric part in the back half of the song is one of my favorite moments on the whole record. Shout out to big Mitch. Same with the riff that comes after it. There were a lotta fun pitches to hit/alley-oops to catch for me in this one. Chorus took me a minute so that was a nice puzzle to figure out too. It’s been a joy writing with these guys and having so much different stuff thrown at me.” Better Lovers first previewed the new album news with the release of “A White Horse Covered in Blood,” a sin...

A preview of the eagerly-awaited debut comes today with the release of “A White Horse Covered in Blood”, along with its Eric Richter-produced video . Guitarist Jordan Buckley humorously shares, “Playing and hearing our own music makes us want to run through walls. So we made a video where, while playing and hearing our own music, we run through walls. This ain’t rocket surgery!” Check out the video for 'A White Horse Covered In Blood': Discussing the album, Jordan continues, “Writing and recording our first full length was slightly more surgical than the EP, but had a similar lack of restraint. I feel more pressur...

This isn’t a hobby. This isn’t temporary. This is the next evolution for each of us. Greg and Will rejuvenated me and made me even more confident. Now, everybody needs to know we’re a wild animal that just broke out of the zoo—there’s no trying to put it back in the cage.” “Jordan sent me some already finished instrumental tracks, and they hit me at just...
