It all started years ago when Ryan and Willie became good friends in school and loved music to death. Metallica and Pantera was always there for them, after that slayer and sepultura had come into action for us, and after that, the only way to go from there was metal, ALL THE FUCKIN' WAY!!!! But of course classic rock was always a big influence in life, ever since childhood, we were rockin out to the records(yeah fuckin' records!!) that our parents played from Led zepplen to AC/DC, Hendrix, and Jethro tull. Fuck I even went to a ZZ Top concert in utero!! But never the less, this is a quest for us and that is how we found Hank Baer, this guy loves punk music and his punk/metal drumming style is evident in our music, we put out ads for a drummer(who kicked serious ass) and what do ya know. Ring...Ring... holy crap its hank!! We dont know him yet, but we get to work and 2 YEARS later here we are. We are a bunch of die hard METAL junkies with intelligence and imagination out of Portland, Oregon, here to change the world for the better with our backwoods metelhead ways. Drink plenty of beer when listening. For those who think metal is the realm of classical influence, of arpeggios and time signature switch-ups, we've got some shit for you too. Every time you listen to NoRegard you will know that the music will ooze with classical METAL influence, also sticking with todays new progressive edge. We are constantly inventing new riffs and new sounds for future songs, we will always be YOUR first stop for kick ass head bashing riffage!!!!!
