Inglorious, a band with a mutual love and respect of the classics of Hard Rock music, big guitar riffs, and soulful vocals, with influences stemming from iconic rock and roll shrine of Rock albums from the 1970s – many years before band members were born.

The same albums that have inspired generations of musicians and performers are noticeably evident when you listen to the first Inglorious album.  This is the music inspired by bands in the classic rock genre as diverse as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Bad Company, Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, to name a few.

Formed in February 2014, the band is fronted by Nathan James, who made a name for himself having sung for the multi-platinum selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Scorpions guitar legend Uli Jon Roth.

Nathan thought to himself, “Why are those classic albums so awesome?” He realised it was because “the musicians were recording in an organic way; they could track it live and capture amazing energy."

“Not only in rock but in Motown and even classical music they tracked everyone in the room at the same time,” adds Nathan.  “The air movement from a bass drum, that same excitement you get when you perform, and that's exactly how I wanted the albums to feel. For so long people have been hiding mistakes, singers using auto tune to make them sound perfect, double tracking to make it sound bigger and using click to play in time. Inglorious wanted to get away from that.

Inglorious completed their second album in summer of 2016 when the had a few free weeks from a 80 show touring run that saw them tour the UK and Europe with The Winery Dogs, The Dead Daisies, Last in Line and Steel Panther. They recorded it at the world famous Parr St studios in Liverpool and it was engineered by Tony Draper.

The studio the band tracked live in was the same one that Coldplayrecorded the clocks album in. The band wanted to keep the live energy like the first album but this studio took it to a whole different level of sound quality and the boys really enjoyed the sights and sounds of the city of culture.

The debut album attracted a lot of great press and praise. Queens Brian May said “You guys really do look like a potent young Deep Purple but with a new slant - very Classic! And the musicianship is stunning. Amazing vocals, by the way!”

The follow up album was released on May the 12th and made the UK official midweek top ten and hit number one in the official UK rock chart. The album was mixed by the legendary Kevin Shirley who has worked with the likes of Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Joe Bonamassa and Black Stone Cherry to name a few. Kevin said " This is the best British band since, well I could say the darkness but i really mean Led Zeppelin, amazing singer, amazing band.

The Bands 3rd album, has been recorded at Parr Street Studios again, and Mixed again by the legendary Kevin Shirley. This one has it all. A couple of up tempo songs, a more metal routed song, a 6-minute epic, 2 ballads, 1 acoustic and the other big riffy bluesy stuff we are becoming known for. It’s a much darker feeling album and the artwork will reflect this too. The band were in the studio in May to do this, this was released Jan 2019, followed by an album launch tour.

Inglorious studio album 4 “We Will Ride’ came along 12th February 2021 “We Will Ride” is the follow up to 2019’s critically acclaimed album “Ride To Nowhere”.
