Bio:

Hailing from Winston Salem, North Carolina, No Love Lost was formed in 2006 by veteran musicians from the east coast circuit. Vocalist Scott Board began his career with Cerebus, a North Carolina metal group that garnered national attention with their album ‘Too Late To Pray’. In the early ’90s, Board, along with No Love Lost bandmates Jason Staton and Brian Azbelle were members of Dimage recording a self-managed album as well.So these guys have a broad musical background and all are experienced cats.No Love Lost plays US Melodic Hard Rock, although not sounding as your typical band of the genre. Yes, the big guitars, melodies and choruses are there, but they add to the music extra ingredients. The rhythm section has a dry, compressed sound, adding some synth bass which makes it different from the rest.

Album:

Well, that’s exactly what happened, and Kivel Records just added No Love Lost to their roster, freshly re-recording the material and releasing the group’s CD worldwide.They arrange the terrific vocal harmonies in an original way, and Scott Board lead vocals escapes from the usual cliché.Musically, every song on this CD reflects a wide range of ’80s and ’90s influences, ranging from melodic lines inspired by Shooting Star or the underrated wonders Sugarcreek, with some pomp rock in the mould of Kansas in the middle, to more hard rockin’ riffs and stronger beats.But as said, No Love Lost has their own style and sound. And quite original for sure.Opener “Another Bad Goodbye” is driven by a sharp riff and a chorus crowned by very good vocal harmonies that reminds me C.I.T.A. / Guild Of Ages, followed by the semi-midtempo “Sign Of The Times” featuring a quirky guitar work and an accomplished vocal performance by Board.“Little Things” is a nineties melodic rocker full of melody and one of my favorites. Connoisseurs surely will remember the great band Stun Leer from that era. Well, this track recalls their style, with a simply irresistible pre-chorus and ‘that’ drums. A winner.The luxury “Catch Me Carrie” is bouncy and ever changing, where Shooting Star’s influence comes to mind, followed by another personal highlight, the great “Miles Apart”, perhaps is the most traditional track on the album in styling, with an earlier eighties Kansas melodious vibe and even some pomp, all with a modern production.“Friend Of Pain” it’s more moody, with a Winger’s ‘Pull’ infatuation all over. Love it. “Back On The Streets” has a superb feel in the Sugarcreek vein adorned with keys all over, and where the lead vocals and the chorus strangely has echoes of Geoff Tate circa Queensryche’s Rage for Order. But the song structure is melodic-hard, with a pumping bass line and fine drumming.They go to the nineties with ”Lie In Ecstasy”, an atmospheric hard rocker with a steady pace and nice keyboard orchestrations in the background, while on the slow (not a ballad), highly melodic “Grounded” the band adds some acoustics and layers of harmony vocals. Very, very well composed track.“Break” pick up the tempo again, followed by “Skin And Bone” riding over a classic riff. This song, structurally and sonically seems taken out of George Lynch’s stupendous album Sacred Groove. Of course the guitars shine here, also the excellent drum fills and the soaring vocals.“Closer To Home” is somehow a ballad, but it’s much more than that. The band blends a classic sweet melody with a progressive arrangement resulting in an original and innovative composition.No Love Lost ends in great form with the catchy “Desiree” (surely the most over-used girl’s name in AOR circles), plenty of keys, guitar riffs (plus a stylized six-string solo) and vocal fills referring directly to Winger’s early golden days. Another favorite on this really good CD.No Love Lost are rare beast in the present Melodic Hard Rock scene, and a great one.Very well played, produced and particularly, arranged, these guys have delivered an original, splendid record for fans of the genre eager for something different.As Bill Leverty from Firehouse said about No Love Lost: “WOW, what a great CD !! – Well done guys”.

No Love Lost - Bliss (2020)

Yes, the big guitars, melodies and choruses are there, but they add to the music extra ingredients. The rhythm section has a dry, compressed sound, adding some synth bass which makes it different from the rest.

Album:

Only released on physical CD by reputed specialized Melodic Rock label Kivel Records, “Bliss” is the sophomore effort from American rockers NO LOVE LOST. Produced by famed Ty Sims & Erik “Desmond Childish” Johnson, NO LOVE LOST creates the perfect love letter for this genre of music. Hard hitting when it needs to be. Heartfelt when it wants to be, and just damn fun because it should be.NO LOVE LOST proves that in current times a band can make an Arena Rock record with all the trimmings just like how you remembered it, while adding the bonus of today’s technology and production.Scott Board is without a doubt a premier vocalist and should be mentioned in the same breath with some of the best in this genre, as he is a rare breed that has a level of talent that rivals some of the best in the business. Combine his signature distinctive vocal with the dual guitar team of Jason Staton and Marc Brown, the result is an astonishing winning combination of Rock N’ Roll as one would hope for, but sadly rarely seen these days.Of course, you need a foundation and you need to keep the beat. None better than the rhythm section of fellow North Carolina Natives, than Matt Crow (Bass) and Jason Collins (Drums). Will leave no question to how formidable they are at their craft. when you hear the big floor tom hits on ‘Heart Strings’, to the nice smooth bottom of ‘No Secret’. You will have no questions about their prowess as a rhythm section.Lastly, and certainly far from least, No Love Lost welcomes a legend himself, Paul Shortino, as he duets with the band on the rockin’ classic ‘Good Times’ (made famous by INXS and Jimmy Barnes). If there was a song that was synonymous with Fun, it is this one, and the guys do not disappoint.While we enjoyed the No Love Lost debut (8 year’s ago!), ”Bliss” is a big step up in just about every way. Well, the cover artwork was better the first time around, but that hardly counts. The band has more than lived up to the promise they showed in 2013, and have released an album that fans of melodic hard rock bands like AdrianGale, Farcry, Seven Hard Years and Tango Down ought to love.There are more moments on ”Bliss” that bring to mind Foreigner, Mr. Big and maybe Danger Danger. It’s a good combo, as it lets them infuse their solid hard rock sound with plenty of melody and just enough polish.It’s also the kind of album you play for your crusty old uncle who still goes to the Foreigner and Whitesnake shows but complains that bands don’t make this kind of music anymore.If you’re looking for highlights, it’s hard to beat the ultra-catchy “Heart Strings.” “Love Song” is a really satisfying midtempo number, and “World Is Wide” has this great “probably too polished for a barroom rocker, but you still want to be at a bar rocking out to it” vibe.All of this is pulled together by the masterful production leadership of Ty Sims and Erik Johnson, culminating into one simple word that describes this album – “Bliss” – and that is the apt title itself.

We just revealed the NO LOVE LOST which was shot last Oct. Normally we don’t shoot a full year out. However schedules dictated we shot an album cover before we began recording said album. In the end, it all worked out well with fantastic results.A little side note. This cover was shot at Geraldines in Chicopee MA. Home to New England Rock fest from 2018 up till 2022. Sadly due to the unfortunate passing of the venue’s beloved owner, the venue was sold. One of the main reasons why we had to shoot when we did. So Geraldine‘s lives on in our album art, and that makes us happy. Kivel Records has been doing shows there since 2009 and we are sorry to see it come to an end.So this is a little behind the scenes folder for you to get a peak behind the curtain and find out what actually goes into one of our cover shoots. Not to mention how many people come together to bring one of my crazy ideas to life. We had a great team, all of whom killed it that day. Setting the stage for our fantastic graphic designer to bring it all together with his post production and graphic designing work. Shout out to Jake Torrey for letting us have the run of the place for our shoot.No Love Lost “Last Call” out on Kivel Records Oct 7th.
