The other members of Every Time I Die, Andy Williams, Jordan Buckley, Steve Micciche and Clayton 'Goose' Holyoak are yet to respond publicly to Buckley's post.
At Maniacs, we really hope everyone involved can resolve their issues in time and that the musical legacy and memories that they created together can remain untarnished.
One of the most heralded hardcore punk bands of their era, Every Time I Die leave behind a cult-like fanbase of 'ETIDiots', nine studio albums and a reputation as one of the most unfuckwithable live bands to ever grace the stage. Their final studio recording was last years critically acclaimed Radical.
In the words of their final official single, Thing With Feathers the video for which you can watch below,
"I think you're done here, standing ovation".
Listen to Every Time I Die
