A lot of well known bands start out in high school as a group of friends doing what they love. For instance, All Time Low, Radiohead, Green Day (the band was originally named Sweet Children), Good Charlotte and The Offspring, were all bands that started out in high school before turning into stars. Every band was just a group of best friends helping each other out and following a dream.
Locally, four friends came together and formed a band called No Wisdom. Last year, No Wisdom became complete with the final part of their four piece harmony. The band consists of Brody Lagerstrom (lead vocals and guitar), David Dubuc (lead guitar), Chelsea Steitz (drums), and lastly Erica Salisbury (bass). These friends created a band with their combined passion for music. No Wisdom made their first music video and are in the middle of recording an album. They are just a group of kids proving that dreams can come true if there is consistent effort.
The band was started by Brody and Dave in 2012, and ever since then the band has been growing with new fans, ideas and gigs. The name No Wisdom was carried over from Brody’s former band. The name stands for the idea that no one else’s wisdom should be used in your life if you have the power to make your own choices. According to Brody Lagerstrom, “ it’s about just getting tired of having other people try to put an input in our lives. We think we can make our own decisions and it’s not that we have no wisdom, it’s that we don’t need someone else’s.”
Each member contributes, and when one person has an idea, it spreads like wildfire and the idea grows and grows until it becomes a reality. One idea was to make band bracelets. All the members contributed two color ideas and now fans can buy No wisdom bracelets for two dollars each. The bracelets come in green and black, pink and blue, red and white, and purple and yellow. The money made from the bracelets, along with the money earned from playing shows, will help them get new recording equipment to be used in recording their upcoming album.
When setting up stage, or consulting on a new sound, or even thinking about lyrics, they like to listen to different opinions. They stay open-minded and ask friends and family for advice. One person who is always their to help or to give another viewpoint is the group’s best friend, Will Brown. Additionally, Brody, Dave, Chelsea and Erica always look to people, especially their fans and groupies, for new things to include in shows. Unlike most bands, where only one or two members would be the ones writing the lyrics, harmonies and melodies, all four members do their part in creating one song. The roles often change and it’s not always one person doing the same thing.
No Wisdom aims to play a show once every month where they can broadcast their talent to new people and old friends. They play their own songs, along with covers of popular punk rock songs. No Wisdom is a punk rock band with tons of energy. They deserve to be seen on a tour, not just a one night show. To see their true talent, come see them live at Indigo Pizza in Coventry on Saturday March 7th at 7:00 p.m. No Wisdom has great talent, passion, and enthusiasm. Soon, everyone will know them by name.
