Legendary Engineer Jeff Forrest led this power punk trio to redefine punk rock with their CD “Loss For Words” just as he did over a decade ago with Blink-182’s “Cheshire Cat”.

Their sound is purposely hard to define, though some say they sound like the caffeinated bastard child of NOFX and Face to Face. Known for a raucous live performance and described as “flip the bird in your face obnoxious”, this power punk trio has been “rocking crowds into near riots” since 1996.

Hailing from Phoenix Arizona No Gimmick has played countless local shows as well as brief stints in L.A. and Mexico. They’ve shared the stage with Marky Ramone, Authority Zero, Punk Rock Karaoke, Something Corporate, Guttermouth, CKY, Pour Habit, Sugarcult, Rufio, Ten Foot Pole, Against All Authority, Mr. T Experience, Jughead’s Revenge, Riddlin’ Kids, Antifreeze and also played Warped Tour ‘02.
No Gimmick was named “Best Punk Band” by the Arizona Infusion of Music Awards in ’03 and has been featured in punk rock compilations, AZPUNK.comp (Volumes 1, 2 & 4) as well as Precision Punk and others.

Loss For Words is the sophomore effort to their '02 release One Wop, Two Micks and a Bean -- a parody on NOFX's '92 release that saw airplay on X 103.9’s Ska Punk Show and Local Music Showcase as well as spent some time on Zia Records Top 10 Local Charts.

After numerous line-up changes at the drummer position, the band settled in with Chase Holder after recording Loss For Words. Guitarist /singer Johnny had two kids and singer/bassist Josh followed suit with one. Josh was then sentenced to six months in prison, but No Gimmick was determined to keep it going until he got out. The life-changing experiences this group has fought through has made them stronger, tighter and determined as hell to rock the world with their breed of punk.
No Gimmick's latest record, Loss For Words was released February 26th 2011 at Chasers in Scottsdale. The trio is currently working on new material and will be heading into the studio to record in 2011.

So get off your ass and go buy their new CD, Loss For Words at your local Zia, Revolver Records or on iTunes.
