please update this band

New York's No More Sorry launched in 2023 sitting squarely at the intersection of groove metal's mid-paced, hip-swinging heaviness and thrash's kinetic aggression — a combination that produces riffs built for maximum physical impact. The groove/thrash hybrid has deep New York roots, and No More Sorry work that lineage with the kind of down-tuned swagger that values the weight of a riff as much as its velocity.

No Pressure are an American pop punk band formed in 2020 around Parker Cannon of The Story So Far, Pat Kennedy of Light Years, and Harry Corrigan of Regulate. The project arrived with a deliberately direct purpose: fast, compact, hook-heavy punk that returns to the urgency of late-1990s and early-2000s pop punk without trying to modernize every edge. Their self-titled EP and LP are short, punchy, and built around quick tempos, bright guitar progressions, shouted backing vocals, and Cannon's familiar sandpaper melody. Compared with The Story So Far's more expansive later work, No Pressure feels intentionally stripped down, favoring two-minute songs that move before they have time to overthink themselves. The band also carries a hardcore-adjacent energy through members' backgrounds and live presentation, giving the pop punk hooks more bite than polish. Lyrically, the material tends toward frustration, relationships, restlessness, and the familiar feeling of being stuck inside one's own reactions. No Pressure matter because they make pop punk feel immediate again. The appeal is not reinvention; it is compression, speed, and conviction, delivered by musicians who know exactly how much a sharp chorus and a fast downstroke can still do.

No Redención is a metalcore band from Medellín, Colombia, whose sound draws heavily on hardcore influences to deliver a heavy, direct style aimed at connecting with their listeners. The band completed its lineup in 2018 and released their debut EP, Imperios, as an independent act. Their lyrics address the experiences of everyday life with an emphasis on generating identification with their audience.

Dallas, Texas's No Respect have been flying the flag for traditional heavy metal and hard rock since 2007, a rare purist act in a scene often dominated by more extreme sounds. With nearly two decades of activity, they carry the kind of lived-in authority that comes from committing fully to the classic metal template — big riffs, unabashed hooks, and the swagger of a band that has nothing to prove and everything to deliver.

Wayne, New Jersey's No Restraints have been laying down uncompromising death metal since 2020, channeling the no-frills brutality of the genre with a straightforward aggression that suits their name. In a state with a long tradition of underground extreme music, they stake their claim on the brutal end of the death metal spectrum, favoring sheer crushing force over technicality.

Punishing Death Metal from Oklahoma (early); Dallas, Texas (later).

Out of Brookline, New Hampshire, No Thanks have been working a groove-inflected thrash metal sound since 2014 — thick mid-paced riffs punctuated by bursts of speed, with the kind of headbang-ready rhythmic sensibility that sits between Pantera's stomping groove and the classic thrash template. They represent the kind of meat-and-potatoes heavy metal that the New England underground quietly sustains year after year.

Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania's No Warning Shot have been grinding since 2006, blending grindcore's explosive brevity with death metal's heaviness into something abrasive and unrelenting. Two decades in the Northeastern underground have given them a hardened, no-ceremony approach to extreme music — short, punishing tracks that arrive without announcement and end before there's time to recover.
