Every Time I Die was a formidable force in the hardcore punk scene, hailing from Buffalo, New York, and notorious for their fusion of metalcore intensity with southern rock swagger. Formed in 1998 by brothers Keith Buckley (vocals) and Jordan Buckley (guitar), along with guitarist Andy Williams, bassist John McCarthy, and drummer Mike "Ratboy" Novak, the band underwent several lineup changes over their career but consistently delivered a blisteringly heavy and technically adept sound. Every Time I Die quickly established themselves with their debut full-length album "Last Night in Town" in 2001 and subsequently gained a reputation for their relentless touring and explosive live shows.
Throughout their career, Every Time I Die evolved their style, venturing into complex song structures and lyrical depth while maintaining a ferocious edge. Albums like "Gutter Phenomenon" and "The Big Dirty" cemented their status within the hardcore and metal communities, showing off their ability to blend melody with crushing riffs. The band's final albums, such as "Low Teens" and "Radical," saw them at the creative pinnacle, earning critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. Keith Buckley’s introspective and often acerbic lyricism set their later work apart, grappling with personal turmoil and societal challenges. Despite their disbandment in early 2022, Every Time I Die left behind a legacy of innovation within their genre and a discography that continues to influence and resonate with fans of heavy music.
