Zeitgeist Zero

Bio:

..

"This album announces Zeitgeist Zero as the premier Industrial rock act in the North of England...This record is a grand testament to the hard work of a group who have never felt limited by their style or genre." - Sphere Magazine.

"The songs are in perfect harmony with each other. It sometimes sounds like they just used the best from all their influences." - Side-Line Magazine.

"Everything slightly dirtier, darker and more intrusive...there’s so much in here, and some cracking tunes as well as stirring melancholy. If you have taste you'll get this." - Mick Mercer.

"DARK SPY - Favorit"
"Diese Briten machen die sanfte Alternative - ja und nun entweicht den Lesern ein Seufzer - Aaaber nein, dieser ist nicht berechtigt: Sie machen sanfte Alternative, aber sie sind gut! Alles dabei, alles möglich: Elektronik, Gitarren, weibliche, erotische Stimme, gute Texte, insgesamt melancholische bis düstere Stimmung; ruhig darauf tanzen, einfach so hören, zum Relaxen anschalten..." - Dark Spy Magazine.

"Undeniably Goth, but not in the traditional sense, this is like Switchblade Symphony, shredded through Garbage's mid-period and drip-fed with some Lydia Lunch and a pinch of Reznor." - Kaleidoscope Magazine.

"This is definately an album for the next generation of Goths we see in our clubs today" - Hardwired Magazine.

"Well, what a shame on the music industry, it's a shock that a band like Zeitgeist Zero had to release their album on their own." - Alternative Pop.

"Enter Zeitgeist Zero, a band that could teach any pop artist a thing or two about catchy hook construction..." - Sick Among The Pure.

"The newest UK import has something special and truly missing in this scene ... real Goth music!" - Metropolis Records Review Team.

"Zeitgeist Zero exclusively searches for the latent uncomfortable, somewhere between guitar riffs and strange synth sounds. Charming goth 'n' roll of the different kind" - Sonic Seducer Magazine.

"One had a little forgotten it with the German explosion of the nineties, but the town of Leeds remains historically one of the most fertile bastions of gothic rock 'n' roll" - Premonition Magazine.

"... old school deathrock with new school production values...sounds a bit like Shirley Manson fronting Marilyn Manson" - Starvox.

"Zeitgeist Zero are one of the fastest growing bands on the scene at the moment" - TWF Magazine.

"Zeitgeist Zero, is impressive in its eponymous debut with an atmospheric and at the same time entertaining mixture of sombre-electronic, hard guitar, Dark-Wave keyboard, a pinch of Surf-Twang and an appropriate measure of humour." - Zillo Magazine.

~ Zeitgeist Zero are one of the most exciting and fastest growing bands in the alternative music scene. Simultaneously jaunty and jaundiced, the band combines synthesizers with the more human elements of guitars, melodic piano and passionate female vocals. Often compared to Blondie and Garbage, the band play edgy, progressive music with a rock 'n' roll attitude. Lyrically personal experiences are drawn upon to write emotional songs with catchy hooks and sing-a-long melodies that could teach any pop artist a thing or two about catchy hook construction.The band burst on to the alternative music-scene in early 2003, and within months had created such an impression with their passionate, energetic and unique live shows, that they soon appeared on several compilation albums.

Their self-titled album was released in 2005 to international critical acclaim and brought the band to the forefront of the “Festival-scene” with a stunning performance at the ground breaking Beyond The Veill in their home city of Leeds. Festival invitations came from the UK and Europe, including the huge 2006 Wave Gotik Treffen (150 bands, 25,000 people) in Leipzig Germany and the legendary Whitby Gothic Weekend in 2009.

With increased confidence and a new purpose-built recording studio the bands second album ‘Dead To The World’ (2009) exudes style and revels in the glamour of the 40’s and 50’s with eye-catching photography and album design. Mixed by John Fryer (HIM, NIN) and mastered by John Dent (Goldfrapp), Teresa’s vocals sweep over cool electronics and cold uncaring guitar to form a dirtier, darker album than their 2005 debut.

Going from strength to strength the band have recently been featured on the soundtrack of Andrey Iskanov’s latest Russian horror movie ‘Ingression’ and appeared in ‘Music To Die For’ a music anthology book by the seminal Mick Mercer. Along with well as over 30 magazines appearances (including ‘Dead To The World’ being voted favourite album by Dark Spy Magazine’s reviewing panel) and with close to 100 radio appearances behind them, the Zeitgeist Zero phenomenon continues at an accelerated pace. ~

Influences:

Everything from the big band jazz of Al Bowlly and the blues of Bessie Smith through to the rock ‘n’ roll of the 50’s, the punk and new wave bands of the late 70’s through to the electronics of Depeche Mode and the Prodigy through to the metal of Danzig and Rammstein.
We particularly like music that is not afraid to cross genres or mix guitars with keyboards like Faith No More.
We are often compared to Blondie or early Garbage.

Sounds Like:

Switchblade Symphony, shredded through Garbage’s mid-period and drip-fed with some Lydia Lunch and a pinch of Reznor.
