Biography:

Started in 2007 in Raleigh NC with lots of writing and practicing, playing a handful of shows. Eventually the band relocated to Fayetteville NC because of the many line up changes playing as many shows as possible. In fall 2009 BYO finished their first self titled EP, released on Oct 22nd 2009 . Recorded at Sacred Hearts Recordings by Chris Kelley. Following that release BYO continued to write and play countless numbers of local and national artist shows.. Getting ready for the next step! Big things in 2011 including a full length album "Mammoth" released on May 31st 2011. This album has a heavier much defined sound produced by BYO and Pawley Thomas(Deviant Recordings). This cd is a fan favorite with its raw brutal sound. With much more touring soon to come, and hopefully label support, BYO is becoming an unstoppable force in metal and hardcore. Our new heaviest, most brutal BYO album yet "Killing The Deserving" coming out early 2012! So far our most anticipated release to date! Come see us on the road, buy a cd or shirt, or even buy us a drink, and support what we love doing.
