Night by Night is a UK-based melodic rock band founded in 2008 by Ben Christo (guitarist of The Sisters Of Mercy) and Jonny Thornton. The band's music style is that of a modern take on the classic 80's bands such as Def Leppard with its dual guitars and three-part vocal harmonies.

Early years (2008–2011)

The original line up with Ben Christo as lead singer/guitarist, bassist Jonny Thornton, guitarist Iain Frisk and Moyano de Diego on drums toured Europe from late 2008, notably supporting Alannah Myles. Jonny Thornton appeared in the July 2010 issue of Bass Guitar magazine [1] discussing his on stage equipment with Night by Night.

Following the introduction of a new guitarist (Tom Daniel) and drummer (Damien Diablo) in 2010, the band expanded to a five piece with temporary vocalist Willy Norton (Neonfly) leading to a search for a permanent lead singer. This culminated in Daniel Rossall being selected for lead vocals in 2011.
