Every Time I Die Frontman to Release Novel

Every Time I Die vocalist/consistently-awesome lyricist/English major Keith Buckley will release his debut novel next year.

The book, titled Scale, will be semi-autobiographical and will be published by Rare Bird Books.

Here's a synopsis from Rare Bird's website:

"Ray Goldman will outdrink you, out-party you and, unfortunately for him, probably outlive you.

As a hopeless and struggling indie rock musician, Ray's best chance of discovering any beauty and purpose in his dysfunctional life will come only when he ceases to struggle against life itself. These are his memoirs.

SCALE chronicles Ray Goldman's journey downward through the adversarial trials that sometimes prove necessary in facilitating an eventual ascent into truth and happiness.

The odd chapters of the novel find Ray, now a 31-year-old guitar player, seeking fulfillment in the wake of a life-altering tragedy while the even chapters see him reflecting on the depravity and selfishness that hastened his descent towards it.

SCALE is about the relationship between instability and balance, death and resurrection, perception and reality, but ultimately it is about the endless war waged between our disquieted minds and our noble hearts.

Fans of pop culture, Americana, Punk Rock music, and Charles Bukowski's HAM ON RYE...lookout!"
