ZERO ONE ZERO – Traces Of Yesterday (2024)
ZERO ONE ZERO is a classic American Hard Rock band hailing from Connecticut, which started as an idea between guitarrist James Ferrentino and vocalist Rob ‘Boots‘ Zawisza who were sick of the current state of rock music. Something they were passionate about, and decided to start writing some no nonsense kick ass rock n roll. They enlisted veteran drummer Mark Ahles whose crushing technical style was just just what the project needed. To round out the lineup they called on Marc Russell to bring the thunder and a wealth of experience.
ZERO ONE ZERO debut album was released 2019, and in late 2020 the second, both well received in the indie scene and radio charts. With a superior production a better distribution deal, the ban is releasing new effort “Traces Of Yesterday“.
The band says; ”There comes a time when enough is enough and you want to take your music back! Rock music has turned into a bland cookie cutter version of it’s former self. “Traces Of Yesterday” was recorded as it’s supposed to be; musicians playing real instruments. No help from auto tune, digital stuff or canned instruments. No Bull Just Rock!”.
And “Traces Of Yesterday” really sounds ‘like a band’. Authentic, honest heavy rock driven by power chords and strong vocals.
“This is Retro-Aggressive Hard Rock for the people! Brought to you by Zero One Zero” is the motto of the band.
Musically they have a Nineties hard rock sound, quite raw, straight from the amps. Mostly midtempo an not exempt of atmospheres songs like ‘Get In Line’, ‘It’s Me Again’, ‘All These Years’, ‘You Knock Me Out’ are plenty of groove.
There’s interesting lyrics as well, no party theme here, just drawing on life experiences translated into songs.
Listening to ZERO ONE ZERO you can feel the passion of these guys, passion for real rock n’ roll. “Traces Of Yesterday” is a powerful record, with enough retro vibe to appeal old-school rockers and a modern updated sound to stay relevant today.
