Backstage Hangs With BETTER LOVERS

Backstage Hangs With BETTER LOVERS

Interview by Simon Russell-White
Videography and editing by Rashid AlKamraikhi

Metallic hardcore punk band Better Lovers are currently in the country for their Aussie live debut tour, joined by special guests Split Chain and Blind Girls. After tearing it up around the world for the last two years, and dropping the absolutely killer 2024 album Highly Irresponsible, the legends are finally hitting Australia for some massive shows and HEAVY had the pleasure of chatting with the band before the first show of the tour in Brisbane.
But first, have a read of part of reviewer/interviewer Simon Russel-White's thoughts after the show...
"Collectively Better Lovers crushed Crowbar, and having no barrier made for an all out old school crowd surfing bonanza, having positioned my 42 year old self in front of bassist Stephen Micciche I was soon reminded of the roughness that had already ensued, as a result my left eye now has a Frank-N-Furteresk look about it, but no complaints here as I will wear this ‘shiner’ with pride as it’s a small price for admission for what was witnessed."
