By Any Means – touring Ireland this weekend with Raging Speedhorn
What you may need to know…
01. Hailing from Belfast, By Any Means are a hardcore four-piece plying chunky, spiky riffs in the genre’s tradition.
02. Founded in 2009, the band released its debut E.P. early the following year, and followed up with their debut full-length, Built on Respect, in November 2012.
03. Streaming above is the band’s most recent release, the Bearcat Sessions E.P., recorded at Bearcat Studios in Belfast.
04. Catch them this weekend in support of returning UK metallers Raging Speedhorn. Friday sees them hit the Crane Lane Theatre in Cork, on Saturday they’ll be at On the Rox in Dublin, and proceedings finish on Sunday at the Voodoo in Belfast. Dublin metallers Dead Label are also opening each night.
Verdict: Good, honest, no-nonsense hardcore. Not for everyone, but plenty there for fans of the genre.
Raging Speedhorn is such a great name
It really is. There’s another band that are often featured on gig-of-the-week type posts with another great name, but I’m blanking. I think they’re a (mostly?) female band and the name is nicely dirty.
what a catchy number, bet this is the X factor winners single
