Darren, Guitar
Originally from the Midlands, Darren moved to South Wales back in 2006. In 2008 he met guitarist Adam Rykala and started an online project, "Harris/Rykala" It's safe to say they created some good music! Then in the later part of 2009, Darren and Adam joined metal rockers, "Crux". He later left "Crux" In 2010 and applied for guitarist position with "Sankara", which he promptly decided was not for him. However, in February 2012 he and Adam were reunited, and "No Glory" was born!

Curtis, Guitar
Curtis Jones, our lead guitarist first ventured into the local music scene as a bassist for a punk rock band named Our Last Stand. He went on with numerous other rock outfits, eventually finding his feet as lead guitarist in the alternative rock band Hindsight. Throughout his musical career Curt has pushed himself to improve his playing whilst continuously writing material and playing live. After ending a 2 year stint with Hindsight, Curt successfully auditioned for No Glory and hasn't looked back since, bringing a classic rock and roll feel to the band with many influences such as Slash, Aerosmith, Jane's Addiction and many more.

Steve, Bass
Renowned for his penetrating basslines as much as his abundant genitalia, bassist Steve has been playing his brand of rhythm-infused rock'n'roll in the north of Wales long enough to know better. Having then moved southward to pursue a PhD, he is now inflicting his unique rock n roll ethos on the unsuspecting rock scene of South Wales...

Gruff, Drums
Gruff has been playing drums for over 10 years. He initially learned on the fly whilst playing for "Drunk on Arrival", a 'just-for laughs' band formed out of boredom and to impress the ladies. A few months later, he and rhythm guitarist, Das, went on to form "DSF"; a fast paced amalgamation of various punk genres. During his university years, he drummed for "The Phlegms", an 80s punk inspired group; "Whiskey Trick", an original classic rock band; and "Leading to Zenith", an alternative rock group that toured Europe, and now, he's developing a fast paced, hard rocking sound with "No Glory"!
