No Cover is the three Jarzabek brothers Nick 20, Mike 23, and Tim 25 from Idaho. Nick is the singer and guitarist, Mike is the pianist, and Tim is the drummer. Mike and Tim started playing their instruments at ages 5 and 6. Mike won a Billboard Honorable Mention Award in 1999 for a song he wrote at age 12 named "Illusion." In 2000 Mike and Tim formed No Cover with guitarist Chris Reynolds. Three days after forming they won at Battle of the Bands (their first concert) at their local high school without a singer. Singer James Wallace joined the band in 2001 and No Cover put out the album titled Breakin Through which included 11 songs. Breakin Through quickly became the most popular song on the album and received limited radio play in the US and Germany. Only 500 copies were produced that landed in Best Buy, Amazon.com and were passed out to close family and friends. Wallace left the band in 2003 and the band continued without a singer.
In 2004 Nick started singing with the band. Tragically, Chris Reynolds died at age 19 on March 2, 2005. After Chris' death Mike left to Orlando Florida to attend Full Sail College. He graduated in 2006 with a Recording Arts and Engineering Degree and became Pro Tools Certified in both music and post production. Following Mike's graduation he started a music store and recording studio named Second Nature Music in Idaho where the band has done most of their tracking. Since then all three brothers have graduated from College with Bachelor degrees in Communications. Nick graduated at age 18 with his Bachelor Degree.
