Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Zeros formed in Los Angeles in 1976 with Robert Lopez on vocals, Javier Escovedo on guitar, Bob Watt on bass, and Philip Hernandez on drums. Their sound had some of the raw energy of bands like The Stooges and The Ramones, and they built a following through live shows that were known for being pretty explosive.
In 1978 they put out their first album, which was called 'Don't Push Me Around.' The title track became their best-known song, with its straightforward lyrics and a melody that stuck in your head. It got played a lot and became something of an anthem for people who felt pushed around.
The band went through some lineup changes over time, with different people coming in on vocals, bass, and drums. They kept recording, putting out albums like 'No Fun' in 1981 and 'The Zeros' in 1990, along with a live record from the Troubadour and another studio album in 2004. Their music stayed pretty direct and unapologetic, even when it drew some criticism for being too blunt.
