Extreme, passionate and energetic wouldn’t be the least to describe the sound and live performance of ‘No Grace’.

With enough crowd participation to start a riot, you are always promised an action packed and exciting show with some great tunes to boot. The guys are always writing songs that are fueled by their passion for music and are fast becoming one of Australia’s premier hardcore bands with tremendous feedback internationally and Australian wide . When No Grace formed back in 1996, their aim was to play brutal hardcore shows with a harsh and ferocious edge. Since then, they have proven to be one of Australia’s most recognised and in demand hardcore bands. The guys have since played along side some great international and local bands such as Dropkick Murphy’s (USA), Zeke (USA), Uzimaki (Japan), Sommerset (NZ), Balance (NZ), Good Clean Fun (USA), 28 Days (Aust) and Toe to Toe (Aust).

The first No Grace CDEP, ‘Image Portrayed’ sold out in a matter of months and brought some excellent reviews Australia wide. 1999 saw the release of their debut album ‘Eating from the inside’ on Melbourne label ‘Trial and Error’. The album brought on more rave reviews and allowed the boys to be noticed as one of Australia’s great up and coming bands.

The year 2000 saw line up changes. Glen (guitar) and Dave (Drums) left the band and were replaced by Mozz (180 dischord) and Matt (Blood Duster).The change in line-up had bought a new lease of life to the band. Within a few months, the guys had written new material for a split 7’ inch with French band ‘Waiting For Better Days" on French label ‘Walked In Line Records’. This release bought on a huge tour of Europe to promote the release , playing countries such as France, Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Belgium. The response from overseas was overwhelming with every show playing two to three encores and the crowd flooding the stage to sing along and dance.

With Matt leaving the band for full time commitment to Blood Duster, Asher (All City Sharps) was asked to replace him. Without hesitation, Asher accepted and has since been a 5 star recruit for the band. Mid 2001, No Grace released their latest CDEP ‘Intentions’ on Sydney label ‘Resist Records’. Since then, the guys have gained sponsorship from Blank Clothing and Julbo Eyewear. The guys have already been rehearsing and demoing brand new material for a future full length album, so stay tuned for further developments.
