Formed whilst attending high school, Authority Zero came together in 1994, featuring Bill Marcks (guitars), Jerry Douglas (vocals, guitar) and Jason DeVore (vocals). They soon enlisted Jeremy Wood for bass duties, who had also taught Marcks and Douglas how to play guitar. As a talented bassist, his skills helped Authority Zero stand out from other punk acts, adding a sense of fluidity to the rhythm section. Jim Wilcox (drums) joined soon after, with the band beginning to play locally regularly.
Well-received early EPs and demos led the band to gain a contract with Lava Records, with whom they released their debut album, "A Passage In Time," in 2002. FInding hits with the singles "One More Minute" and "Over Seasons," the band established their presence on the punk rock scene, gaining high profile support slots with the likes of Sum 41, Everclear, Guttermouth and H2O.
In a short space of time, Authority Zero already had material for their second effort, releasing the distinctly latin-flavored "Andiamo" in 2004. Extensive touring followed before Authority Zero recorded an all-acoustic live album, "Rhythm and Booze," which appeared in 2006 on the Suburban Noize label. A support slot with Zebrahead helped gain new fans on tour, before returning with the more energetic "12:34," laying down some fast-paced punk.
In 2010, their fourth record found the band reaching the number five spot on the Billboard US Heatseekers chart, their highest position yet. Bassist Jeremy Wood unfortunately left the band in 2013, citing musical differences, shortly before Authority Zero unleashed their fifth outing, "The Tipping Point," again charting well.
The punk rock band called Authority Zero, was formed back in 1994. The group has 2 guitarists and a drummer who all went to school together, where they began making songs as a bit of a hobby, they later recruited another member who joined as a bit of a joke they claimed, after a while of playing together though they decided to stop joking around and actually give it a shot. It was unexpected when I found myself actually enjoying their music because it's not really the typical genre I tend to listen to. This group however combines a bit of skate punk and reggae style with a bit of Spanish influence, which is pretty interesting to see. They released their debut album in 2002 through Lava Records, called 'A Passage In Time', which did pretty well for their first released album. The band are crazy at a live gig, everything I'd want from a punk rock band including crowd surfing, mosh pits, topless drumming and insane guitar riffs. You wouldn't forget being a part of that audience quickly if you saw them live, they are currently touring the US but if they came to the UK I'd definitely go and get a bit crazy at one of their gigs!
First heard them sitting on a bed with a girl that looked like something out of Alien Sex Fiend and thought they were not my cup of tea (shall we say).
I've seen them Live a few times now. They put on a show - music-wise they can only be described as 'Slick'. They know how to play - technically they are awesome. Taking my daughter to see them in Kentish Town because she's in music and they are just...professional. Great band.
Errrr...of course, Cock Sparrer are on....
