High school rockers No Limit are Live From The Madcity on Max Ink Radio

Max Ink Radio · Sat Dec 6, 2025

If it's local music from Wisconsin, it's heard here.

This is Max Inc. Radio.

We are local music.

Welcome back to Max Inc. Radio.

I'm rocker here with Jane and it is time for live from the Mad City.

This week, no limit Midwestern alt band, no limit was formed when young

Madison area musicians from Manona Grove High School and Columbus High School

came together at the Madison Music Foundry, a rehearsal studio and music lesson

complex, now independently writing, recording and performing their own music.

No limit is releasing their first full length record, February 2nd, and here in

the studio to talk about their new record, the band and perform songs for us

live is Isaac Aiden Huck and Jordan of No Limit.

Guys, welcome to Max Inc. Radio.

Thank you for having us.

Hey, you know, before we get going here, I know you guys came down here.

Why don't you go on stage street, you know, we're a foodie town here in Madison and

we're curious.

We went to Ian's, a couple of us went down the straight to Ian's, you know, in

their mac and cheese pizza.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a great place.

Everybody went to Ian's, a whole group because you guys have let's say one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, nine, I can't even count that high.

There's so many people here.

Three of us went, me, Aiden, Jordan, where'd you go, Huck?

I went to a nap nap nap nap nap.

Oh, is that good?

Yeah, it was pretty good, but they're out a lot of stuff.

Okay.

Well, there you have it.

Before we learn about the players in the band, tell us about how the band was

formed at Madison Music Foundry.

Were all of you strangers?

Yeah, we were actually all strangers.

They have these two performance bands called sandblasters and slag at the time.

And I was the only one out of the four of us in a sandblasters in the sandblasters.

Okay.

So I went in to do, I think it was a rock workshop where you go and meet other people.

You record right own songs, play some covers.

And they said, hey, we got this spot in the sandblasters.

I wondered if you want to play.

And I said, yeah, I'll go audition and I end up getting the spot.

And we played in that band for a couple of years until everyone else was old and

graduated.

And I was I was stuck in there by myself.

So then all these guys came in audition and that's how we formed.

Oh, so like you were the young guy.

Yeah.

And everybody else kind of aged out.

Yeah.

And so this is almost really like your kind of second rendition.

Yeah, it is.

Wow.

That is a pretty cool.

How many years at the Music Foundry before graduating is striking out on your own

with this band?

We were together for three years sandblasters.

We had at the time we had, I think it was eight members, I think we had three

guitar players, a bass player, two drummers and another singer who also played

keyboard at the time.

So we had a lot more members than and over the years that they graduated,

moved on to other things.

How many years is no limit now?

As no way after you guys have all graduated from Madison Music Foundry.

I believe this is our second year.

Yeah.

As or are you still there?

No, we are on our own now.

Yeah.

That's that's what really impressed me was that you guys started the band there,

but then decided to keep it going after graduating.

What is the environment like at Madison Music Foundry?

So for somebody who's never been there, I mean, do you have to really be good

to join in these classes or tell us about the environment there?

No, it's really great at the Foundry.

They have a spot for everyone.

The best thing about the Foundry is they just kind of give you these skills.

They teach you how to play live, how to do all these performance skills.

And it's just a really great environment for people to grow as musicians.

And it's a really good opportunity.

Would you suggest that other young musicians go there, take lessons and join them

with these bands?

I certainly would.

It's a great way to kind of dip your toes into the music industry and get started.

Other than forming your own band, what was the big takeaway that you got?

From your time there?

The biggest takeaway that we ended up getting is playing together, I think.

I know going in, we didn't really know each other.

And we didn't really talk to each other at first, but as time went on,

we grew together, we grew a friendship, we grew a bond.

And at our time at the Madison Music Foundry, we learned to play together.

You know, look at each other.

I mean, play by each other, go stand by Jordan when he's back there on the kit

and can't go up and walk around.

So we've learned to incorporate everyone and I'm playing together and it's amazing.

Wow.

Let's get to live music from the man city with no limit presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The first song that you have for us tonight is called Hope.

It was just released and his self produced.

Tell us about this song before you play.

Yeah.

So this song was actually started as a guitar idea from our drummer.

The way they're not.

Yeah.

How does that happen?

He just had this idea.

Does he know what key it in?

I don't think so.

I don't know.

Key there, the key is easy.

I don't even know.

Yeah.

But then we just kind of worked through it.

And I think it came together in pretty much one day.

And yeah, we were just recorded and released it.

What's it about?

Hope.

Yeah.

What about hope?

Hope in someone that has lost something trying to find that hope thinking that

there's still hope for them in life and trying to get better than where they were before.

All right.

Well, let's hear it.

This is no limit.

You're listening to live from the man city on Maxing Radio.

This is called Hope.

All the kids that do this first miss her time was no remorse miss her time when there's nothing worse.

Give to me.

Give me everything so there's no more you.

Plant the seed time and time I live what's over too.

Yeah.

Grab a rock or step, pulling stock in a dirty trick.

Do you smell what I can I learn?

Do you smell what I can I burn?

Give to me.

Give me everything so there's no more you.

Plant the seed time and time I live what's over too.

Give to me.

Give me everything so there's no more you.

Plant the seed time and time I live what's over too.

Oh.

Give to me.

Give me everything so there's no more you.

Plant the seed time and time I live what's over too.

So don't be.

Yeah.

That is no limit.

And that was one of your brand new songs hope, right?

Yep.

That is a brand new song.

You're listening to Maxing Gradio.

We are live from the man city with no limit.

Let's get to know the band a little better and start with the singer and guitarist, Isaac Peck.

Isaac, tell us about how you got started playing music.

What is your backstory?

So it started probably around the age of four.

I was getting babysat by my uncle and aunt.

And I remember just hearing the Beatles twisted shout.

Songs like that and that just made me love music.

And I remember I'd constantly asked to listen to the Beatles live on the Ed Sullivan show.

I think that's how it always starts.

And I just kept growing my music horizon.

I started with a lot of the older stuff like the Rolling Stones,

the Monkeys, Leonard Skinner, and stuff like that.

Then as I got older, I was introduced to bands like Metallica and Slipknot by my dad.

And after that, I kind of went out and started listening to chili peppers, bush, and all those other type of bands.

Where I wanted to start on drums actually.

And I would bang on pots and buckets with broomsticks or whatever I could find.

Like I said, the Beatles on the stereo, then it just progressed more and more until I started picking up the guitar,

started taking lessons.

And that's where I got introduced to them as music foundry.

Oh, that's funny, because you know, you said your dad introduced you into Metallica.

I thought you said your dad might introduce you to the Monkeys.

No.

Well, who introduced you to the Monkeys, Grandpa?

My uncle, yeah.

Oh, okay, all right.

Well, now that's making sense.

You also play harmonica.

I do.

And what would you say, golf, fishing, or music?

That's a tough one.

Did you do all three of those?

I do all three of those, yes.

Nice.

Well, that's tough.

If I had an arrow down, it would be between golf and music, but...

Well, golf is only during the summer.

Music is full of time.

That's what I like about music.

I'd say stealing the music.

What was your parents' role in you getting involved in lessons and music early on?

I think my dad found someone through our church that they did guitar lessons or someone knew

this person who did guitar lessons.

And I started, I went in, and I think he said that he only starts people at the age of seven.

And I think I went at the age of six.

Early learner.

Yeah, he started me with like C-Cord, D-Cord, all that fun stuff.

And he took a chance, and he said that I could start lessons early, and that's where I got started with lessons.

Now, what do you plan on doing after high school?

I'm attending the University of Wisconsin.

Oh, Claire, next fall.

Wow.

Oh, I thought you were going to say Madison.

Oh, Claire is a great school, too.

That's great.

No limit was the runner up to win the 2024 Rock Hansen high school garage band competition.

And the band is participating again this year.

Tell us about the experience.

Yeah, it's really just a great experience to just play to a lot of people and just grow your audience.

It's a really great way to test out some new stuff.

Well, Rock Hansen is a statewide competition for high school garage bands.

And you guys are in it again this year.

What was it like to play one of the biggest stages at Summerfest?

It was amazing going through the whole experience of being able to meet under the big bridge in Milwaukee.

Yeah.

And getting shuttled to our stage with our instruments.

Oh, that is the best, isn't it?

Yeah.

I know, you know, if you get a good driver on those buses at Summerfest, they'll tell the people outside.

They'll be like, oh, yeah, this is like the headlining band people rushing the bus.

Yeah.

Trying to hand you a beer through the window.

That's a lot of fun.

You know, what was it like really like playing the big stage?

Like, how was it different than maybe what you're used to?

It was kind of a young group.

Maybe you don't have experience playing those.

And that's a really big stage.

One of the biggest things that we loved is how much louder it is.

Yeah.

We love hearing ourselves play louder than just a small venue.

And it was amazing to see people come and go and see the Aurora Pavilion.

Pretty much packed.

It was great.

And then with Rock Hansen, you also won some time at Blasthouse Studios.

Yes, we did record.

How did that go?

That was a great experience because now that we're starting to really record our own music, now looking back at our time at Blasthouse, it was, it's just amazing how good they are at their job really.

Because it was just so easy for us really to just go in and record and get everything done.

It was really a great experience to see how it's done at a professional level.

Wow.

Yeah, I'm sure that must have shed some light when you're recording on your own.

Well, let's get back to live music from the man city with no limit presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight, it's called Never Found.

And you recently released a version of this song recorded live with the Mamas Awards ceremony at Atwood Music Hall.

What is it that you've never found?

Always searching for goals, never stopping, never being satisfied with what we have accomplished and always looking for great opportunities,

learning to grow as musicians and build off of each other.

Wow, that is so cool.

Well, let's hear it.

You're listening to live from the man city on Maxing Radio with no limit.

This is Never Found.

I've been looking for places that I've run from.

I guess it's not worth trying if I can overcome.

Fall down, down, down, we go into the ground.

And we call out for we to make a sound.

And we do everything to turn it around.

We go, go, go, go, and be bound.

Tows of pressure fall.

We're bound to be saying mine.

Wow, that's everything.

We're smoking out all the time.

Fall down, down, down, we go into the ground.

And we call out for we to make a sound.

And we do everything to turn it around.

We go, go, go, and be bound.

And we call out for we to make a sound.

And we do everything to turn it around.

And we call out for we to make a sound.

And we do everything to turn it around.

And we call out for we to make a sound.

And we do everything to turn it around.

And we go, go, go, never be found.

Yeah, no limit never found your listening to live from the man city on magazine radio.

No limit.

No limit has played festival stages like atwood fest and high noon saloon as part of the Madison music founder group class and work with coaches at the live shows.

And we talked a little bit about it, but talk about what you learned.

You know, that sticks with you from working with the coaches.

How did that help?

Because I know that I saw you guys play at atwood fest and they would come along and kind of coach you out.

And you know, a lot of bands, they don't have that privilege.

Tell us about the coaches that come out to your live shows for a Madison music founder group class.

Yeah, the coaches are a really great thing to have because they provide this kind of outside sort of feedback.

You know, because you can look back in your own shows and be like, oh, this was good.

This could use some work.

But if you have that extra outside person to kind of reel you in, that really helps.

And it gives you a sense of what you need to be working on.

And well, let's see here where are we're looking at a headphone issue here.

Let's get back to the band.

No limit with bassist Huck Gladostoles.

Huck, how did you get started playing music?

And what's your backstory?

Yeah, so I had a friend when I was in elementary school.

And I would go over to his house to kind of hang out every once in a while.

And he was really into guitar and kind of just like more like grunge rock in general.

Like even in elementary school he was kind of, he was all, he was into that stuff.

And so he was like, yeah, we should try and maybe have you ever tried playing music before?

And I was like, no, like what would I even play?

And so at his house, he had a couple of guitars, he was a guitarist.

And his brother was a drummer and they would kind of just dam together a little bit.

And they were like, dude, we should start a band.

And I was like, okay, so I don't know how to play any of these.

And they were like, you should pick up bass because they had a bass at their house.

Because their mom actually played bass.

And I was like, okay, I mean, I guess I could give it a shot.

And he was like, yeah, super simple. It's just four strings, you know?

Yeah, only four strings, right?

Yeah.

Last guy to join the band, he's always the bass player, right?

Yeah.

And yeah, so basically from there, I mean, like when I started playing with it,

I was like, okay, you know, I mean, this is kind of fun.

I kind of, you know, enjoy playing bass.

And from there, I was like talking with my dad.

And for Christmas, I got this like, Ibanez kind of like beginners series base.

And I went to go start taking lessons at the foundry.

And that's kind of how I met up with these guys through the Rock Workshop program.

Hey, man, that's how it happens.

What are you planning on doing after high school?

Um, that's a tough question.

I'm still thinking about it.

I'm still thinking about it, yeah.

Well, perfect. No problem.

Well, let's get back to live music from the Man City with no limit presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight is called Over Again.

And another soon to be released single.

Tell us about this song before you play.

One day we were sitting in Jordan's basement just messing around on our instruments.

And I'm just playing on my guitar and just whatever, just playing whatever I could think of.

And I just start playing this riff.

And I keep playing it over and over again.

And Aiden heard me play that riff.

And he's like, and he liked it.

So then after that, we built a verse to it and we built a chorus to it.

And a breakdown and we wrote that song in probably like 20 minutes.

Nice.

Well, let's check it out.

This is No Limit.

Live from the Man City on Maxing Gradio.

This song is Over Again.

Now you want to try and change yourself, those who haven't knew you.

Over again.

Cue this mental sickness on my life.

It's too brief.

Leave school with me.

Over and over again.

Don't need your sorrow.

Don't need your tears.

It'll be here.

Don't let them make it.

I will push you to something new.

I just need you to keep on walking.

Show me over and over again.

Cue this mental sickness on my life.

It's too brief.

Leave school with me.

Over and over again.

Show me over and over again.

Cue this mental sickness on my life.

It's too brief.

Leave school with me.

Over and over again.

Cue this mental sickness on my life.

It's too brief.

Or over and over again.

Cue this mental sickness all my life.

It's too brief.

Save me.

Over and over again.

Cue this mental sickness on my life.

It's too brief.

Save you.

Over and over again.

All right, no limit.

Over again.

You are listening to live from the man city

and we'll be right back after this break.

You found Wisconsin's local music authority.

This is Maxinc Radio.

We are local music.

To Maxinc Radio, everybody, my name is Rocker.

Here with Jane in the control room.

And we are smack dab in the middle of the live from the man city

on Maxinc Radio, where we have no limit.

A local band here in Madison.

And guys, tell us about your upcoming album.

It's called Self-produced and recorded on your own.

How is that different from recording at Blast House?

Yes, so we've been recording this album.

And at Blast House, I kind of mentioned earlier,

it was really easy for us.

We kind of just recorded it live for the most part

and then overdub vocals and extra overdubs.

This time, we're taking a slightly different approach

where we recorded drums, we recorded bass, we recorded guitars.

Everything is separate, which allows us to kind of craft

the sound rather than having this raw live take,

which there's benefits and drawbacks to.

Well, tell us about the record.

What's new on the album?

Well, pretty much everything we've played so far

is going to be on this upcoming album.

And we got a lot of different varieties of genres

that we're playing.

I know we experiment with, we like all sorts of music.

And we play whenever found, kind of like an old Southern hard rock

kind of twang sound.

But also like going an even soft rock,

even going a little sublime 311 at times.

So it's a good combination of all sorts of music

and we love to see what we can experiment with.

Now, let's get to Eden.

Phiweger, do I have that name correct?

Yeah.

And you're on lead guitar.

Eden, how did you get started playing music?

What's your backstory?

Did you start an on cello?

Yeah, I started in fourth grade for school orchestra.

Yeah.

When I first started playing music

and then I got my first guitar not long after that

and that's what really sparked my passion for music.

Just coming home and just working on trying to figure out songs.

How'd you go from the bass cleft to the treble cleft?

Well, I don't really read music for guitar.

You're a tab guy.

I'm an ears guy.

Cool.

Yeah.

And the ears guy.

Now, what was your parents role in your musical upbringing?

How did you get started?

What are your parents play?

They just got me...

They just exposed me to a lot of different types of music

that a lot of really good music that...

What was in their record collection?

Honestly, a lot of just rock, a lot of classic rock

that I probably would have never heard before.

You know, who fighters, Nirvana, Metallica,

all those kinds of things.

Wait, that's classic rock to you?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, geez.

But what was it that made the foo fighters the best concert you've ever been to?

Just the fact that they play for three hours and don't take breaks.

Like, they play for three hours straight.

Stamina.

Yeah.

And it's just straight music the entire time.

It's amazing.

What are you planning on doing after high school?

I'm planning to go to med school, if I can.

Wow.

What are you going to do in med school?

Brain surgeon?

Heart surgeon?

Not quite sure.

Nice.

Well, let's get back to live music from the Man City with no limit,

presented by the Aaron Weber group.

The next song that you have for us tonight, it's called Gravity.

Does this song carry weight?

A little bit.

You tell us about this song.

It's about someone who's trying to get their life back on a track

that will put them in the right direction and being so determined to do

so that even gravity can't even hold them back.

Wow.

So that was our inspiration for that.

All right.

Let's hear it.

Gravity, you're listening to no limit live from the Man City on Maxing Radio.

I've been called back to you.

I need a whole new view.

This generation needs determination.

If I can't get away,

I won't just stay in and grab it.

Can't pull away back to a life on track.

But it will hold you in.

Never necessary.

If I can't get away,

I won't just stay in and grab it.

Can't pull away back to a life on track.

But I can't get away,

I won't just stay in and grab it.

Can't pull away back to a life on track.

I'm not sure I have definite plans, but I definitely think I want to do something music related.

We just jammed it together and then we had original lyrics.

And then how did you get lyrics for this song?

Please tell you weave here with no limit.

Live from the mad city, this song is called Everything Remains.

I want it to be something I'll make for it, but now I got what I need.

People have always been playing about how others feel playing, but I think I'll still remain.

They've been with all this candy and a balance.

I try to do everything I can to manage it.

We're the way I don't complain, all the scars don't take the blame.

They've been shaped, all they did everything from me.

Do it once you want it to, but it never stops you.

People want something new.

I'm not sure I have definite plans, but I think I'll still remain.

Live from the mad city, this song is called Everything Remains.

I want it to be something I can to manage it.

We're the way I don't complain, all the scars don't take the blame.

They've been shaped, all they did everything from me.

We're the way I don't complain, all the scars don't take the blame.

They've been with all this candy and a balance.

I try to do everything I can to manage it.

We're the way I don't complain, all the scars don't take the blame.

They've been shaped, all they did everything from me.

Well, no living live from the mad city right here.

That was everything that remains.

Yeah, that one was probably my favorite.

That was good.

Well, they keep each tune they play as a new favorite, right?

What is in the biggest obstacle you guys face as a high school band?

Probably the biggest challenges.

A couple of shows.

We have to be out by a certain time because of the old we are.

Oh, the age, yeah.

Yeah, that's a pretty difficult thing.

And some places require us to be out by like 10.

So we need a finish before 10.

Get everything packed up, get going, and out of there by 10.

So sometimes that could be a struggle.

What is coming up for the future of no limit?

Outside of obviously New Year's, so hyped for New Year's,

album release, and show.

But then, otherwise, we're certainly going to keep playing

and keep drawing as much as we can, taking every opportunity we get.

What do you think that college and other plans after high school

are going to kind of do to the band?

Do you guys have a plan to kind of try and keep together?

I'm trying to take the band to all Claire to do some shows.

Awesome.

Bring the band to you.

Do some college.

There's some great clubs up there.

Oh, yeah.

You'll have a good time.

So how do we keep up with you guys?

You said Facebook, Instagram.

You guys are on TikTok too?

Yeah.

Don't ask me what the handle is.

It must be something with no limit band, probably.

No limit metal.

It's probably no limit Madison.

No limit Madison.

Well, we have time for one more song.

Live from the Mad City with no limit.

Yeah.

But can I just say something real quick?

Sure.

I know this is not the first time I met you guys.

I met you.

It was my very first week.

And you guys are just coming in for an interview.

And to see how far you've come and to really hear your music

and to see you performing now and get to know you,

it's been a real treat for me.

Thank you.

Me too.

Oh, wow.

Very cool.

Let's hear one more song.

This song is called Above the Rest.

Is this song about floating?

No.

It's not.

It's really about just people who see themselves above the rest

and have the attitude that they're above everyone else

and how we're just not a big fan of it.

So we wrote a song about it.

A song about supremacists.

All right.

Let's hear it.

This is no limit.

Above the rest, you're listening to Live from the Mad City

on Maxing Radio.

You can see the scene.

To feel pain.

I take back everything I said to you.

Play your games on my compass.

You see your name above the rest.

All these thoughts that fill your head

All are better left on sex.

You see me in my success.

It's your distress.

The past seems to rip me.

You give the least.

I take back everything I said to you.

Play your games on my compass.

You see your name above the rest.

All these thoughts that fill your head

All are better left on sex.

You see your name above the rest.

Play your games on my compass.

You see your name above the rest.

Play your games on my compass.

You play your games on my compass.

You see your name above the rest.

All these thoughts that fill your head

All are better left on sex.

You play your games on my compass.

You see your name above the rest.

All these thoughts that fill your head

All are better left on sex.

Yeah, no limit right here live from the Mad City.

We are just about out of here.

Thanks so much guys for coming in tonight and playing for us live.

Next week, Paige Kleber is going to be in here playing

a couple of songs and interview and she's got some brand new stuff coming out.

And then Madison Uphoff will be here live from the Mad City right here on Maxing Gradio.

Also coming up in the future.

I'll tell you a couple of other things.

Katie Scullin is going to be coming in here.

Sean Michael Dargen, Shiver and Becca Murray.

So we are out here.

We will see you next week and you have been listening to Maxing Gradio.

You found Wisconsin's local music authority.

This is Maxing Gradio.

We are local music.
