Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of aggressive vocals, distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards.

No Favors – The Eleventh Hour 2024

November 22nd Hailing from Stoke-on-Trent, England, close to the cradle of heavy metal in Birmingham, No Favors are a testament to classic rock’s relentless spirit. The band was formed in the ’80s by a group of local musicians, which included current guitarist Carl Ogden, who has maintained a strong and constant influence on the band since it’s inception.

From the early days, playing alongside such acts as Saxon, Magnum and Wishbone Ash, to the present, which sees the band revitalised for today. Carl and new members Dani J Rankin, Tom Bevan, Pete Challinor and Dan Ogden have created an album of fresh, Classic Rock songs, inspired by and incorporating the timeless sounds of their history, that also speaks to many of the issues currently of concern to people around the world.
In early 2024, the group went to the studio and recorded “The Eleventh Hour” which will be released on Pride & Joy Music on November 22nd, 2024. The album was engineered, produced and mastered at Lower Lane Studios, Stoke-on-Trent England, by Johnny Price.
