Formed May 1997, No Connection are Graham Young (lead vocals/guitar), Simon Whenlock (bass/backing vocals( and Jon Hill (drums/backing vocals).

These three experienced twenty-something’s had the idea of creating a cover free classic rock power trio to combine their wide range of influences e.g. Aerosmith, U2, AC/DC, George Michael, Van Halen, Public Enemy, Queen, The Cult and Deep Purple to write strong hooky 3-4 minute songs with a social conscience. Soon they had written two albums of quality material and were gigging all over their local area.

The Reading, England based band soon discovered the power of the Internet by creating their own website and making their music available to be heard and purchased at MP3.com.

This soon reaped its own rewards when Pearson Television contacted the band requesting to use the song ‘Victory Girl’ in an episode of the Emmy-Nominated Sci-Fi series ‘First Wave’. The song appeared on the ‘teaser’ for the episode ‘Ohio Players’ (Series two).

Next to pick up on the band were Los Angeles based Internet radio station ArtistLaunch.com, who continue to feature the band. In response to this, their listeners elevated them to the number 1 position in their Top 50 Favourite Artists Chart (April 7, 2000). They held the position for over a month. These developments led to the band being invited to play in Hollywood, L.A. January 2001.

No Connection then achieved two number 1 positions on the MP3.com Classic Rock chart, with the songs ‘Love For Free’ and ‘Ain’t Foolin’’ and have been the featured artist of the day.

The band have recorded three albums since their formation:
‘Justified’ (released Jan 1, 2000 on MP3.com)
‘Deal With It’ (Spring 2001)
‘Love To Hate To Love’ (February 2004)
The first two albums were recorded at the Outhouse Studios, Reading, UK and co-produced by the band and John Mitchell (Arena, The Urbane, John Wetton Band).

The bands music has also received radio play on stations across the United States.
The group played a 6-date USA tour in October 2002. Two dates in New Jersey, one in Philadelphia and three in New York, including a Saturday night at the world famous C.B.G.B.’s club.

The show received enormous response and the fans came in large numbers. The band was given extra care and security during their performance, and for  health protection during their stay in the US they were provided with insurance ,  also chauffeur driven cars to travel in comfort.

Paying due respect to Classic Rock

May 6, 2013 By

Today’s music lovers are very guilty of one thing – ignoring the roots of music. It is common today that people will only appreciate and applaud the music that is currently being made while ignoring the music from back then. However, music from the older ages is very rich with talent and depth. Classic rock is a subgenre that is curved out of the talent and dedication of very many musicians and artists from the past. While many of these might have passed on, there are those who are still standing strong and are able to confidently stick to their brand of music.
A good number of music lovers today have occasional love for classic rock owing to the fact that the musicians of today know all too well that they should pay respect to the subgenre. Many a time, you will come across today’s musicians making cover versions of songs from back then just so they can give them a pop or RnB twist. The creativity with which people from the era of older music were able to churn out great song after great song is a kind of creativity that can only be mastered by extremely talented and true musicians.
There are a number of music lovers today who are actually opening up to the truth that classic rock is one of the most original genres of music. This kind of music is actually appreciated by people who have a fine taste in music. It is appreciated by people who know about the importance of instrumental power, vocal strength and great lyricism. A good number of musicians are actually attempting to create some kind of return to the classic styles by emphasizing more live and real performances as well as emphasizing release of music that is leaning more and more towards the classic styles of music.
