Better Lovers’ New Single “Love As An Act Of Rebellion” is One Hell of an Album Closer
Remember how we said that thrilling supergroup Better Lovers had entered its power ballad phase? I’d say that phase is officially over with the release of their latest single and accompanying video, “Love As An Act Of Rebellion.” If you like the frenetic, high energy sound that you’d expect from a band featuring former members of Every Time I Die, Fit for an Autopsy, and The Dillinger Escape Plan, then you’re gonna be jazzed about this one.
Featuring panic chords, frantic rhythms, and Greg Puciato’s signature vocals, “Love As An Act Of Rebellion” is one hell of a final single to drop before the band’s debut album Highly Irresponsible drops this Friday.
Speaking of Puciato, he said the track became “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 stylistically to write vocals to this one….If I had to show people one song off of the record and one song only, I think this would be the one.”
Highly Irresponsible will be available on October 25 via SharpTone Records, but you can preorder your copy today. The band also has a tour lined up, so if you want to catch ’em live, you need to peep the list of dates below to see when they’ll be in your area.
