American rockers
Any Given Sin employ a steely mix of melody and sonic might that draws from a wide array of hard rock and heavy metal subgenres.
Based out of southern Maryland, the band emerged in the early 2010s with a sound that evoked the modern rock and alt-metal attack of contemporaries like
Shinedown and
Pop Evil. With a lineup consisting of guitarist Mike Conner, bassist Rich Stevenson, drummer Mike Showalter, and powerhouse vocalist Vic Ritchie, they released their debut EP, The Other Side, independently in 2013. In 2015 the band issued a second EP, Forbidden, which was produced by
John Moyer of
Disturbed. The 2019 singles "Dynamite" and "Another Life" saw the group amass a significant amount of online plays on satellite radio. ~ James Christopher Monger
