By the End of Tonight & Tera Melos

By the End of Tonight are an instrumental four-piece based out of Alvin, TX. Comprised of Stefan Mach, Josh Smith, James Templeton, and Jeff Wilson, By the End of Tonight mix intense metal and punk in complex syncopation. This mix -- and the fact that their drummer plays on a toddler's size drum kit -- makes for very interesting live shows that have brought a lot of praise. The Fireworks on Ice EP was released by Temporary Residence in August of 2004. ~ David Serra
