Better Lovers are ready to take the stage with their debut album Highly Irresponsible, set to release on October 25 via SharpTone Records. The band will kick off their first North American tour on November 3 in Asheville, North Carolina. Fans can grab tickets this Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour will feature some exciting opening acts. From November 3 to December 2, Full of Hell will join the tour. For the final leg, from December 4 to December 8, SPY, Cloakroom, and Gouge Away will take the stage.
Better Lovers gave fans a taste of their new music with the single "A White Horse Covered in Blood," which came with an Eric Richter-directed video. The band's guitarist, Jordan Buckley, described making the album as a wild ride full of big ideas, inside jokes, and a lot of fun. He felt like they were creating something unique, saying, "We love what we’ve created. We know you will too.”
Greg Puciato, the band's vocalist, added, “New album. First full length. It’s a typical thing to say, but we’re excited to start getting this out there. Everyone really brought their best to the album, and brought out the best in each other.” Given the band's background in delivering energetic and explosive performances, the single carries a similar vibe, with powerful vocals and dynamic instrumentation.This single is a standout piece, embodying their unique sound and style. If you're a fan of heavy, impactful music with a raw edge, "A White Horse Covered in Blood" is an exciting and thrilling experience.
The album was recorded this past spring and produced by the band's guitarist, Will Putney. He shared that being both a band member and producer was a big advantage. "We’re so dialed in to exactly what we want to do, and our creative process is so in sync and natural that we rarely hit a wall when we work on music," Putney explained.
Highly Irresponsible is available for pre-order now, including limited-edition vinyl and digital pre-saves. Better Lovers, featuring Jordan Buckley, Clayton “Goose” Holyoak, Stephen Micciche, Greg Puciato, and Will Putney, made waves with their first single, "30 Under 13," and their God Made Me An Animal EP. They have already toured North America twice and played sold-out shows in Europe, gaining a reputation for their intense, energetic performances.
