Career
1995-1997: No Mercy
In 1996, No Mercy released their debut album titled No Mercy, later re-released in Europe retitled My Promise and produced two U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hits, including "Where Do You Go" (a cover of La Bouche's "Where Do You Go" from 1994), which hit number 5. This was followed by the single "Please Don't Go", which reached number 21. In early 1997, No Mercy released a romantic ballad titled "When I Die", a cover of a song previously performed by Farian acts The Real Milli Vanilli and Try 'N' B. Their remake of the band Exile's number one song from 1978, "Kiss You All Over", also became a number one hit on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1998..
1998-1999: More
No Mercy's second album, More, which included singles such as "Hello How Are You", "More than a Feeling" (originally recorded by Boston) and "Tu Amor" (originally by Jon B., and later covered also by RBD), also achieved success.
2000present: Singles and current status
In 2002, a single, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" Featuring Al Di Meola, was released to gauge support for No Mercy's third album. The record producer decided to instead rework the songs for solo artist Daniel Lopes' debut album, Shine On, in 2003. The band would guest feature in that album, on the track "Summer Angel".
In October 2007, No Mercy released their third album, Day By Day, under a new Australian-based independent record label, Show No Mercy Entertainment Pty Ltd, and via iTunes.
On December 16, 2011 No Mercy released the single "Shed My Skin" Featuring Stan Kolev via iTunes.
