Every Time I Die / Touche Amore Australian Tour January 2015
Every Time I Die have never been an easy act to categorize and that’s one of the key reasons why their fans have never turned their back on this innovative act’s unique brand of music. While the band started out in the late ’90s hardcore scene, over the past decade they’ve continued to evolve and push the boundaries of heavy music, which is evident on their new album “From Parts Unknown”.
