No Glory is the brainchild of Stefan from City Saints and Arild from Troublemakers, and if you’re after a rock-solid bastard child of Rancid and Cock Sparrer, then look no further. With a bouncing and well-defined production, this record is up for a good time right out of the traps. ‘Wild Young And Free’ sets the tone, and everything follows as you’d hope it to. Big hooks, good times and full of melodies and riffs.

With their colours nailed to the mast and wanting to pay tribute to the mighty Sparrer, they drafted in Chips Kiesbye (SATOR, Millencolin, Michael Monroe, The Hellacopters, The Boys), and it all fell into place, The album leans on really strong melodies and good time lyrics it follows, ‘Drunk on Dreams’ and there isn’t much to split over the strongest songs but I love ‘Pay The Price’ for the riff and the melody works really well.

Tracks like ‘Born A Loser’ will see a soaked dance floor with all that spilt beer, and the Oi rock n roll of ‘Run Away’ with its boundless energy will no doubt be a favourite. The pace increases for ‘Raise Your Voice’, but I do like the details of adding harmonica on ‘Like A Drug’, sounding like something Michael Monroe would record.

The main theme is a tip of the hat to those who trailblazed a scene, but there is more to this than just a tribute. It stands tall next to their peers on merit, and with a pint of beer in their hand, they’ll hold their own. Of course, the album has plenty of sing-along moments, none more so than the encore of ‘One More Day’. It signs off as strong as it kicked off. Excellent album, polished and delivered with love and quality. Go and get it Oi Oi!
