By All Meanz

By All Meanz is a heavy hardcore band from Tacoma, Washington that has been around since 2019 when they put out their Demo and Promo. They broke the mold of most hardcore bands by putting out two releases in a matter of just one year. The band's logo and first release show their blending of graffiti art with a goofy little character featured within a few of the letters. By All Meanz had to change their name, only by letter changing from Means to Meanz as there is a 90's straight-edge hardcore band from Italy under that same name. The artwork for the band's self-titled release features a photo of a landmark in Tacoma. That landmark is the Tacoma Dome which is a multi-purpose indoor arena. The band's most recent three releases have been signed to Platinum Hit Records. The first song on By All Meanz's album Seeing Red, Feeling Blue features a sample from the Japanese 2001 movie Cowboy Bebop. By All Meanz instrumentals brings a new kind of heaviness to the beatdown side of hardcore. Lyrically By All Meanz's message themes revolve around corruption and betrayal which are common themes in street/beatdown hardcore. So if you have not given them a listen By All Meanz give it a shot.
