Since ’94 Authority Zero has brought their unique signature blend of anthemic melodic-punk and reggae to the masses. A lot has changed in the 20 plus years since the band got their start and they’ve found a way to persist and thrive in today’s ever-changing music world. It’s been a long trek’, says Jason Devore (singer and longest-running member of the band) as he recollected on the band’s past. The band was formed in the mid 90’s in Mesa, AZ by a group of high school friends with ample ambition but no lofty expectations. After a few years, they refined and established their sound: a mix of SoCal punk with reggae and ska tendencies.
Now, moving in to mid-2017, Authority Zero are back with the new album, ‘Broadcasting To The Nations’, which will be released via Jacksonville, Florida’s Bird Attack Records, who are quickly developing an extensive roster of both up-and-coming and established acts in the skate/melodic punk genre—a perfect fit for Authority Zero.
‘Broadcasting To The Nations’ will be released on June 2nd 2017 and will be shortly followed by a full US tour, the first for the band in a while. Subsequent international touring is being planned as well to support the new album for Europe, Japan and possibly South Africa.
Speaking on the partnership, guitarist, Dan Aid said, ‘Bird Attack represents the next generation of punk bands coming up in the scene.
‘Looking at what Garrett and his team are building, and getting to be a part of this label family at this moment in time feels massive.
‘I think we’re all looking forward to what this year, our new record, and this new relationship brings to light!’
