Details as to why the split happened are scarce at this moment, so all we have to go off of at this time is the band\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cBetter Lovers is parting ways with Greg Puciato.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud of the work we\u2019ve done together but we are moving in another direction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo all of our fans, thank you for riding with us these past few years. We\u2019ve accomplished so much in such a short time with your support and we\u2019re still beyond excited to continue down this road with you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe four of us are finishing writing a new album which we are extremely proud of and currently looking for a new singer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks for your understanding, we\u2019ll see you soon.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Better Lovers have been working on their sophomore full-length album and follow up the their critically acclaimed debut Highly Irresponsible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metalsucks.net\/2025\/07\/21\/better-lovers-are-working-on-their-second-album\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">since last July<\/a>. It makes you wonder how far along in the process they are and if they have been forced to scrap Puciato\u2019s contributions to their work now that they\u2019ve parted ways.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since the band\u2019s inception in 2023, Better Lovers has been comprised of ex-Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley, Clayton \u201cGoose\u201d Holyoak, and Stephen Micciche, Fit for an Autopsy\u2018s Will Putney, and ex-The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato. Today\u2019s announcement is a major shift that will likely drastically alter the band\u2019s sound.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, Puciato announced that he was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metalsucks.net\/2026\/02\/17\/greg-puciato-and-steven-ryan-alexanders-the-black-queen-announce-10th-anniversary-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">going on tour with The Black Queen<\/a>. As of this posting, Puciato has yet to issue a statement of his own. If he does, we will update the story accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a completely unexpected announcement made via social media just moments ago, metalcore outfit Better Lovers announced that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354558,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[264],"tags":[166038,18,117,166037,19,17,337],"class_list":{"0":"post-354557","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-better-lovers","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-greg-puciato","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-music"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116128167164633607","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354557"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354557\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
