Extensive Definition
Anyone is a band from Southern
California that formed in 1995. Their 2001 self-titled album
was released on Roadrunner
Records. They have described their music using the term
"maximum acid", combining a heavy metal
sound with psychedelic
rock influences. Anyone is the brainchild of Riz Story, the
band's lead singer
and guitarist, and
also the only member of the band that has remained since its
inception.
Following some more changes to the band's lineup
and an extended period between the releases, their second album,
Sip the Pleasure of Days, is planned for a 2007 release, and the
band have signed to a new record
label, Delinquent Recordz.
History
The group was preceded by the band Sylvia, consisting of Story, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Sean Murphy, which dissolved when Hawkins joined Alanis Morissette's band (and later Foo Fighters), and Murphy began to work with bands Magdalen and Divinorum, besides his solo career. This led to Story's formation of Anyone in 1995, him being joined by bassist "Static" and drummer Dave "Nipples" Murray.In 1996, Anyone's first album
Rats Live on no Evil Star (a palindrome) was released on
an indie label. The live album Live Acid was
released in 1999, and by 2001 the band were signed to Roadrunner
Records and were working with record producer Rick
Parashar, and released their self-titled full-length debut,
Anyone in
that year.
