EVERY TIME I DIE To Enter Studio In April

Vocalist Keith Buckley of Buffalo, New York's EVERY TIME I DIE has issued the following update:

"As of yesterday, January 12, we have officially begun writing the new record. Well let me rephrase that. Jordan [Buckley; guitar], Mike [Michael Novak; drums], Andy [Andrew Williams; guitar] and Josh [Newton; bass] have begin writing and I have just attained a level 23 ranking on Call Of Duty: World At War online. But that' not to say I have not been doing my part as I await to hear the demos of the songs as they begin filing in. I have, according to tradition, thrown myself into a tempestuous spiral of panic, doubt and self-loathing in the face of an impending creative venture that will ultimately shift public opinion of me to one extreme or another independent of my own faculties to control it. And still we do it for the kids. The irony. We will be taking a brief hiatus from the writing to play Poughkeepsie, New York; Plains, Pennsylvania; and Worcester, Massachusetts on January 29-31, then again between February 16 - March 4 to play shows in New Zealand and Australia before heading to the studio in California on April 1."

EVERY TIME I DIE has reportedly inked a deal with Epitaph Records.

In a July 2008 interview with U.K.'s Rock Sound magazine, EVERY TIME I DIE frontman Keith Buckley stated about the band's label situation, "Our latest album was the last thing we had to deliver for Ferret so we are in limbo. We are talking to some labels right now, I think people will be very pleased to know that it looks like we will not be signing with a major. Some were interested but I don't think we even got down to discussing deals, I know I would have signed a Shakira-esque 100 million dollar 360 deal but it never seemed to come up in conversation."

Chuck Stark of TheMetalUnion.com conducted an interview with Keith Buckley on August 9, 2008 at the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts on the Vans Warped Tour. Watch the five-minute chat below.

EVERY TIME I DIE sold almost 14,000 copies of its last album, "The Big Dirty" (Ferret Music),in the United States in its first week of release in September 2007 to debut at position No. 41 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"The Big Dirty" was produced by Steve Evetts and was described by the band as "the CD you would compile if asked to make a mix of the best EVERY TIME I DIE songs you haven't heard yet. Ten-plus tracks that tore from our filthy hands like the creature that jumped out of that dude's stomach in 'Alien'."
