Artist History No Control was formed in Dec 1990 in Houston, Texas, and immediately started playing Houston's famed "Richond Strip" while building its own playlist of original music. In 1995, the Bair, the band leader and songwriter, moved to Dallas and recorded the band's first disc with the original No Control members.
