About Me

______________________________________________
***Not By Choice has decided to take an indefinite hiatus.***
Over the past 2 1/2 years we had been working very hard towards our 3rd studio album. We wanted to take our time with the writing process this time around. We also wanted to spend some quality time with our friends and families during that time. Unfortunately when we tried to get NBC going again it was a lot harder than we anticipated. So we have decided to step away from the band for an undetermined amount of time to focus on our personal lives and other projects.
To the fans and everyone who has ever helped us or supported us in any way we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You all helped us make our dreams come true and we can’t thank you enough.
To all of the bands we have ever toured or shared the stage with, thanks for being there with us, we had some great times.
Once again, thank you.
Mike, Chico and Liam
Not By Choice
______________________________________________
Not by choice formed in 1997 with founding members Mike (vocals/guitar) and Chico (guitar/b.vocals). Over the years the line up changed quite frequently but once their friend AJ (bass) finished college he joined the band full time. It wasn’t until early 2002 that the bands lineup was complete with the addition of Liam (drums). After years of playing around southern Ontario not by choice finally got a break. The summer of 2002 the band landed an indie record deal with Linus Entertainment. After a successful debut cd ’Maybe One Day’ not by choice found themselves sharing the stage with such artists as Sum41, Simple Plan, Avril Lavigne, Goldfinger, Treble charger and many more kick ass bands. Currently the band is at home working on new material.
