Zero Pilot

Formed in 2008, Zero Pilot comprise a direct link from the alt-rock scene that proved popular in the 90s with overtones of thrashy, grunge-metal and raging melody commonly associated with the more recent post-hardcore movement. Brought together from performance heavy backgrounds they have the credentials that can only be achieved by slogging it out in small venues and busting their asses to get heard. Enjoy

Aver

AVER. Here's the challenge, listen to a couple tracks and try and decide what genre they are, even they don't know. Some sort of bastard child of Stoner Rock, Psychedelic, Space Rock and Grunge. In any case it's heavy and it's groovy and it doesn't sound like any other band out there. If those sound like good things to you, they reckon you'll dig them. Enjoy sober, or otherwise. Luke: Lunar Fiddle
Jed: Earth Tremors
Chris: Tribal Rhythms
Burdt: Guitar/Vocals
