Anyone is a band from Southern California that formed in 1995. Their 2001 self-titled album was released on Roadrunner Records. They have described their music using the term "maximum acid", combining a heavy metal sound with psychedelic rock influences. Anyone is the brainchild of Riz Story, the band's lead singer and guitarist, and also the only member of the band that has remained since its inception.

Following some more changes to the band's lineup and an extended period between the releases, their second album, Sip the Pleasure of Days, is planned for a 2007 release, and the band have signed to a new record label, Delinquent Recordz.

The group was preceded by the band Sylvia, consisting of Story, drummer Taylor Hawkins and guitarist Sean Murphy, which dissolved when Hawkins joined Alanis Morissette's band (and later Foo Fighters), and Murphy began to work with bands Magdalen and Divinorum, besides his solo career. This led to Story's formation of Anyone in 1995, him being joined by bassist "Static" and drummer Dave "Nipples" Murray.
