After the amazing rock’n'rolling “Hot Damn!”, Buffalo’s Every Time I Die is back in action with a brand new release, “Gutter Phenomenon”, a term that was used in the 1950s to describe rock ‘n’ roll music. It was society’s reaction, at the time, to a style of music it considered “sinful”. Rock music was actually viewed as a discredit to American society. The people at the time believed that rock music would lead to people’s downfall. They thought it would never last. The band’s third full lenght album is filled with the evolution of ETID’s sound and mark a new era for the quartet: not just a line up change, from a five piece to a four piece, but more specifically, a disc where they play the best rocking anthems heard in the last years. Songs like “Bored Stiff”, “Guitarred and Feathered” and “Champing At The Bit” ( featuring guest vocals by GLASSJAW / HEAD AUTOMATICA frontman Daryl Palumbo ) are totally sick: they have strong, hard and heavy guitar riffs, with screamed vocals and dual screams. Plus, a tune like “Apocalypse Now And Then” has got the handclapping beats and danceable rhythms, while the first single “Kill The Music” has got the angry fist that will keep you stick to listen to the music. “Gutter Phenomenon” makes Every Time I Die stands above the average pigen holed underground “screamo” or “hardcore” bands, as this LP is a sign of a group that musically grew up a lot and could also be made more accessible to people who likes rocknroll. The reissue is complete with a 30 minute DVD cut from their upcoming
full length ’shit happens’ DVD release (in stores in the Fall). Doug
from Highroller has the misfortune of spending weeks on the road with
ETID in the last few months. Get up close and personal with Every
Time I Die. The cd is wrapped is bright-ass pink shrink wrap, which makes the CD/DVD looks amazing.
