Bio

Melodic midwestern alt-rock. No Limit was formed when young Madison, WI area musicians from Monona Grove High School and Columbus High School came together through the Madison Music Foundry.

Now independently writing, recording, and performing on their own, they're cutting their teeth in the Wisconsin live music scene.

No Limit released their first 3 track self-titled EP on February 2nd, 2025, after winning studio time at Madison's BlastHouse Studios, as the Runner-Up for 2024 Rockonsin competition.

The four-piece looks at artists like Deftones, Chevelle, 311, and many other late 90's, 2000's alt rock staples as influences in their heavy but melodic sound.
