No Refund (band)
No Refund is a rock band formed by high school friends who share the same passion for music. Four of the members formed a band at the start of 2009 with Gerald at the vocals, Mark at the drums, Levin at the bass, and Alexis at the rhythm guitars. The band was then temporarily called "B3 or B-CUBED" as a joke. With the constant search and trial for the last band member to fill in Mark's position as the drummer for him to be able to switch to the lead guitars, the band never really had a serious practice to cover songs.

As the start of the next school year, the band met with Cedrick, who is a drummer at his church. The band recruited him and he gladly accepted the band's offer, he only is not a good drummer but he is also gifted with great singing talent, he can play the guitars as well. He has been then a great and essential member of the band.

The week before the band members' school's Students' night came, the boys are really cramming about what songs to perform and what shall be the name of the band. The meeting for the performing bands was called and then they didn't know that they need a band name as the participating bands submit their songs. The only ones at the meeting were Cedrick, Mark, Levin and Alexis, as Gerald is at a Supreme Student Government meeting that time, the members called for the last minute and alas! As Gerald closed the door for the SSG office, they saw a notice read, "NO REFUND", and the band decided to call themselves "No Refund" since then.

Students' Night '09 came, the band played Parokya ni Edgar's song, "Your Song" or "One and Only You". The band has the been practicing every time before a party or a ball that needs band music comes. Their next performance was in the Christmas Ball 2009, oragnized by CMLI. The band played Alamid's hit song, "Your Love", along with Seether's version of the controversial "Careless Whisper".

The band has then lifted their limited choice of music from OPM love songs, to foreign Alternative and Alternative Rock songs. They also got into the Post Hardcore genre to prepare themselves for upcoming Battle of the Bands competitions.

With different people with different tastes in music: Gerald, who is an Alternative Rock type of guy, with some Hard Rock influences. Levin, who is a certified metal-head. Cedrick, is an Acoustic Rock and Alternative Rock guy, who can really hit a falsetto. Alexis, the Hip-hop and RnB man who occasionally listens to Reggae music. And Mark, the all-around guy who can cope and adjust and form a liking to any genre, but yeah, he influenced Pop Punk in these parts. Not to mention we all love Original Filipino Music! It's good that we have different genres we love, it means that there are lots of suggestions for cover songs, but the disadvantage to this is the conflict of interest in the songs, despite this, we learned to cooperate and prioritize the listeners satisfaction and happiness towards our music. Because of this, we learned to play songs that we like without hard feelings from other members.

The band's passion for music continues on, trusting each others capabilities and talent to provide a good performance for the audience. Thus, NO REFUND was born.
