Call it a case of local bad boys making good. The raucous Queen City-based quintet Every Time I Die has been gaining global notoriety for both its incensed, ear-splitting hardcore/metal and its outrageous, hard-partying rock antics. If Santa’s keeping an eye on them, he has undoubtedly placed them on his naughty list (especially with incidents like singer Keith Buckley’s arrest for public drunkenness on 2004’s Ozzfest Tour). For ETID’s career as a band, however, 2005 has been nothing but nice. The group’s album Gutter Phenomenon (Ferret) catapulted them to the forefront of heavy rock, and tastemaking major mag Revolver named the disc the “#1 album of 2005.” Perhaps in trying to gain some favor with Santa, the boys are closing out 2005 with a good deed. On Sunday (Dec. 18), Every Time I Die headlines a Toys For Tots benefit with two more Buffalo acts —It Dies Today and Dead Hearts—that are making a lot of noise beyond these city walls. Nothing quite like a trio of bands with the words “dead” and “die” in their doomy monikers to give it up for the kids at the holidays.
Sunday, December 18 at 7pm. Town Ballroom, 681 Main St. (852-3900). $10 with donation of a new, unwrapped toy.
