Every Time I Die: A Symphony of Noise and Catharsis
Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Buffalo, New York, Every Time I Die (ETID) has etched its name as one of the most influential and enigmatic bands in modern rock. Their music, a captivating blend of aggression, melody, and raw emotion, has catapulted them to critical acclaim and a loyal following.
