Tuning up for their own tour that starts this week, the loud ’n’ heavy merchants from Buffalo show PG’s Perry Bean how they apply the hot sauce.
In Better Lovers, guitarists Jordan Buckley and Will Putney, plus bassist Stephen Micciche, go heavy and strange—a combination they achieve by carefully selecting their instruments, amps, and effects. Their latest album is called Highly Irresponsible, but when it comes to nailing their riffs and sounds, this Rundown with PG’s Perry Bean, filmed recently at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, makes it clear they are anything but that!

Jordan seems like the coolest dude.
The blue SG looks dope. I just saw it in the new music video and I came here immediately afterwards
Putney is a g.
38:36 -Jordan remains the best.
You should do a rig rundown of Fear Factory
That SG is definitely not from 1978. Looks like early 90's.
So many cool effects and amazing tone m/
HOG @ Rochester!
That Dunable custom from Putney is fuckin nuts. It almost reminds me of the L6 Shuriken variax that Twelve Foot Ninja plays on with the different pitch controls.
Hmmmm I guess one could say Putney…
Has been busy? ????
Soooo funking good
The chaos and enthusiasm in the conversation with Jordan is hilarious. What a great rig rundown.
LFG!!!
This band is comprised of real legends of the genre. They’ve inspired a lot of bands. They’ve certainly inspired me.
your favorite metal producer's favorite metal producer
Jordon needs his own show. ETJDS Every time Jdawg does stuff. im watching.
Your fucking right Jordan is wearing a GlassJaw hoodie. Represent!!!!
Win for Premier Guitar and Better Lovers are toooo sick.
the OG eclipse from ETID, takes me back to map change end of warp tour
That's a 1993 Candy Apple Blue SG Standard. Not sure where he's getting 1978, but I love Jordan, so IDFAF.
Looks just like the SG that was in the movie PCU. Though that might have been a brand new 90s one.
800th like lets go!
