History

The band began formation in February 2014, when vocalist Nathan James, who made a name for himself having appeared on reality TV shows and singing for the multi-platinum selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Scorpions guitar legend Uli Jon Roth, was looking for like-minded musicians that desired to make rock music in a very honest fashion. He joined up with rhythm guitarist Wil Taylor, lead guitarist Drew Lowe, bassist Colin Parkinson, and drummer Phil Beaver. After gaining attention on YouTube with their live version of Deep Purple's classic 'Burn', Drew Lowe left the band and was replaced with Birmingham guitarist Jack Edwards. Jack was then quickly released and replaced by Swedish guitarist Andreas Eriksson. Andreas joined the band a few weeks before the recording of their self-titled debut, Inglorious, which was released in 2016.[2] The band with help of radio station Planet Rock gathered a large social media following and toured Europe with The Winery Dogs, The Dead Daisies and as support act for American comedy hard rock band Steel Panther. After the tour, on 17 December 2016, Wil Taylor announced via instagram that he had left the band on 13 December after writing and recording the second album with Inglorious.[3] In an interesting turn of events, Drew Lowe, the band's original guitarist, rejoined the group as Taylor's replacement. In October 2018, after recording the third album, Colin Parkinson, Andreas Eriksson and Drew Lowe all left the band. In December 2018, Dan Stevens joined the band who will partner with Danny Dela Cruz in a brand new Inglorious dual guitar sound with drummer Phil Beaver, frontman Nathan James and new bass player, Brazilian session player Vinnie Colla, completing the line-up that will herald in a brand new era for the band.

Influences

Inglorious's members were primarily inspired by 70s Hard Rock bands such as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Bad Company, Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones. Singer Nathan James feels most heavily influenced by Whitesnake singer David Coverdale [2]
