By Any Means

Coming out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana — a region that’s been quietly shaping some of the South’s most uncompromising heavy music — By Any Means takes that legacy and pushes it into something sharper, darker, and relentlessly forward‑driven.

Born in Baton Rouge’s tight‑knit DIY scene, the band has earned a reputation for blistering live shows and a sound that blends metallic hardcore, Southern grit, and raw, emotionally loaded lyricism. Their style is straight to the point: riffs that hit like a brick, rhythms built for release, and vocals that carry the weight of lived experience. It’s heavy music with intent — urgent, confrontational, and impossible to ignore.

Jonah Smith - vocals
Matt Rumfellow - guitar
