Inglorious
High-octane British hard rock with a massive 70s soul. Think soaring vocals, live-tracked energy, and riffs that feel like a vintage engine roaring to life.

Inglorious emerged in 2014 as a leading light in the New Wave of Classic Rock (NWOCR) movement in the UK. Founded by Nathan James, a vocalist who gained prominence through reality TV and touring with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the band was built on a philosophy of 'authentic' hard rock.
Their sound identity is a deliberate homage to the 'Big Three' of British rock: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Whitesnake. This is achieved through a commitment to live tracking in the studio, a technique they utilized for their debut at the same studio used by their idols to capture a specific room acoustic. Despite several lineup changes, the band has maintained a consistent critical reputation for technical proficiency and high-energy live shows. They occupy a cultural space that bridges the gap between older classic rock aficionados and a younger generation of 'crate diggers' looking for contemporary artists who eschew modern pop-production techniques. Their influence web connects directly back to the blues-rock explosion of the early 70s, while their peers include modern traditionalists like The Dead Daisies and Rival Sons.
