By Any Means (Singer Needed)

Catchy, heavy bounce metal

About Me

Join Our Mailing List By Any Means is the latest band to hit the Preston metal scene, making their debut appearance in April 2008. Originally formed in 2005 under the name Dasien, the band featured Dug on bass, Shad on rhythm guitar and with Crazy Dave Symes on vocals. Several tracks were written, but the lineup was never completed and a few months later Dasien split up. Dug and Shad continued jamming together in their spare time although nothing much came of it, owing to Dug's commitment to Asylum, while Shad honed his craft doing open mic nights.

In late 2007 Asylum split up and Dug and Shad decided that now was the perfect time to resurrect Dasien. With a new name, By Any Means, Dug and Shad decided that the focus would be on melodic, bouncy metal, and after a few auditions to complete the lineup By Any Means recruited vocalist Chris in December 2007, a new face on the local band scene but with a versatile and powerful voice. Neil joined the band in January 2008, another new talent on the scene with a unique drum style that suited the sound By Any Means was looking for. The lineup was completed in February 2008 when Rik joined, well known to Preston music fans as the former lead guitarist for Freak Jesus.

Now fully assembled, By Any Means, are writing new material to rock the masses and become the new faces of Preston metal.
