Buffalo, New York's Better Lovers is a hardcore punk unit with an impressive pedigree. Comprised of former members of the Dillinger Escape Plan, Fit for an Autopsy, and Every Time I Die, the band emerged in 2023 after the dissolution of the latter group. Combining their collective hardcore, metalcore, and mathcore persuasions into a unified sonic attack, the supergroup's debut EP, God Made Me an Animal, appeared in 2023 on Sharptone.
