Justify the Means".
Bringing new life to the Central Illinois music scene, Justify The Means is the new breed of heavy-melodic metal straight out of Peoria. Established late 2003, this quartet has taken over its local music scene in record time forcing its guitar driven, drum slammin'', bass thumpin'', aggressively melodic vocals down the throats of all listeners. JTM has earned their seniority playing every weekend; becoming Peoria''s hardest working band; taking no prisoners along the way. In less than 2 years JTM has opened for countless National Acts; picked up multiple sponsorships and endorsements; became the "Original" house band for 99X, Peoria''s biggest rock radio station, hosts the "biggest" local metal shows averaging 600+; and now continues to tour the country in support of its new CD "NO END".
