Every Time I Die

Every Time I Die is a Southern metalcore band from Buffalo, New York, formed in 1998. Their musical style, while rooted in technical hardcore variously displays strong mathcore and southern rock influences . The band announced on July 14, 2008 that they had left Ferret Music and signed with Epitaph ^{Epitaph (label)} . Their fifth album, New Junk Aesthetic, was released on September 15, 2009.

  The band was established by brothers Keith and Jordan Buckley, whose father, Michael Buckley, lectures Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo. They added to the initial lineup with guitarist Andy Williams, bassist John McCarthy, and drummer Michael "Ratboy" Novak. In their first short tour covering the Buffalo, New York and Toronto, Canada ^Toronto vicinities, the band met Goodfellow Records producer Chris Logan, who released the band's debut EP Burial Plot Bidding War in 2000. The following year, Aaron Ratajczak replaced McCarthy as bassist before the band released its debut full-length album Last Night In Town that year under Ferret Records, leading to a tour for that album in collaboration with Killswitch Engage the following year. From January-February 2008, Every Time I Die went on a tour with Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Parkway Drive. They also headlined the Take Action Tour, playing alongside From First to Last, August Burns Red, The Bled, and The Human Abstract. The band played the entire Warped Tour 2008.

On an episode of Steven's Untitled Rock Show, the band stated that their fifth full-length album would most likely be released during the summer of 2009.

Jordan and Keith are the cousins of Winston McCall of the band, Parkway Drive.

At their 4th Annual Christmas Show in Buffalo, NY, Keith announced that the band had signed to Epitaph Records, stating that, "I haven't said anything yet, but we have, in fact, signed to Epitaph."

According to Keith, they "have a propensity to screw up interviews" by joking around with the interviewer.

At their February 2009 show with Underoath and Poison The Well in Auckland, New Zealand, Keith announced on stage that we can expect a new album this year.

During the 2009 UK tour with Gallows, a song titled "Buffalo 666" from their then-upcoming album New Junk Aesthetic ^{New Junk Aesthetic (album)} was played for the first time. The album also included guest vocals by Pete Wentz
A new song, "The Marvelous Slut," was released on July 8 as a free download.
On August 18, Every Time I Die released a second new song entitled "Wanderlust" on their MySpace.
On September 8, new Drummer Ryan "Legs" Leger will start touring with the band. Legs is from Cornwall/Toronto Canada and is known in Canada for his former touring gigs in bands The Salads, Kiki's Wonderland Adventures, Skye Sweetnam, Third South, Dead and Divine, Gone Hollywood and the female fronted thrash metal group Oh The Humanity.

The band was part of the European Taste of Chaos Tour ^{Taste of Chaos 2009} at the end of 2009, supporting headliners Killswitch Engage and In Flames.

Every Time I Die will headline the 2010 Australian Boys of Summer Tour. In support of Every Time I Die is Australian bands; 50 Lions, House Vs Hurricane and Mary Jane Kelly. The band will tour nationally across Australia playing shows in Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
