Last March During their stay in Anaheim for the Take Action Tour, AudioFrequency and Clara Senida had the chance to sit down with a couple of the guys from Every Time I Die, to talk about how things are going on tour, as well as what the guys like to do while off tour and what the deal with Dosomething.org is!

To this day, historians have not reached a unanimous consensus
regarding the birth date of one of underground rock music's most
important finds- the calcified remains of a winged, pony-tailed, drunk,
hilarious yet sincere, musically inclined andmind-blowingly awesome
creature known as Every Time I Die- excavated in the
beautifully scenic and fertile landscapes of Buffalo, NY. What makes
this find so remarkable is that according to bioscientists and
evolutionary experts, the beast did not DESCEND from anything, nor is
it known to have a progeny, though some theologians have gone so far as
to claim it came to life when Sam Elliot put out his cigarette in
Robert Plants blood. While many field researchers cite its official
date of origin somewhere in 1998 when it recorded it's demo, further
scrutiny by local pundits reveal that the Every Time I Die spotted by
hard rock music fans across the world during the past 5 years is in
fact the AWESOMEST version of the species, and is far more musically
adept and way more drunk than its original manifestation. While the
initial brute entertained throngs of admirers with its refreshingly
enigmatic live show and unorthodox mix of blistering metal, progressive
hardcore and melodic sensibility, it was far less refined and lost
numerous bass playing limbs as a result of inner conflict and
discrepancies over which direction to travel. But musical Darwinism and
Ol' Fashioned "Know How" compensated for God's folly
with the releases of the critically acclaimed Last Night In Town, Hot
Damn! and Gutter Phenomenon which found the beast growing stronger and
more stunning with every harvest moon, doing away with any need for a
PERMANENT 5th limb and solidifying it's place in the scheme of the
different musical periods.
Its last known release to date, The Big Dirty, is quoted by
important scientists and musical critics as being "the single most
valuable contribution to the unifying of musical creationism AND
musical evolution EVER." With it's blinding guitar work, it's bowel
splintering drumming abilities and lyrical/vocal capabilities that has
left the most prestigious literati flummoxed, The Big Dirty has
fossilized itself in the moist, squashy pulp of our untrained minds
at a time when man is completely incapable of registering its cultural
significance. From it's hooked beak which is lined with 10 rows of
fangs which are each soaked in poison which are then set on fire, Every
Time I Die has bellowed forth the most audacious sounds of recent
history. Its music is unprecedented in its combination of gritty
southern rock with melodic hardcore, and from what we can tell from
it's bone structure, it was capable of the most spectacularly energetic
and personal live shows the world has ever known. Its legacy is that of
kings, though its mystery is shrouded with uncertainty and vagueness-
some grainy documentation attests to it raging briefly through OZZFEST,
while other amateur videos see it's likeness headlining the HURLEY
stage of WARPED TOUR. In Japan a local farmer claims to have bought it
a Jack and Coke at EXTREME THE DOJO, a German college student swears
she was front row at ROCK AM RING, while a couple from the United
Kingdom offered it a cigarette at DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL. But most
mysterious of all, show-goers in the United States are now coming
forward and saying they expect to see it on SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND
in a rotating headlining slot this very summer. All of these, purely
speculation, for the truth is that we may never know what Every Time I
Die WAS, but music cannot deny what it wasn't- NOT fuckin' awesome.
