Zeropointzero

Zeropointzero came together in Los Angeles around the early 2000s, with Michael Carter on vocals and guitar. Their debut album 'Anemic' arrived in 2004, and its title track became a focal point for listeners drawn to the band's raw, introspective sound. Songs like 'Dissolve' and 'Psychosomatic' from their catalog carried a similar intensity, built around Carter's expressive delivery and the group's driving rhythm section.

The band's lineup included guitarist David Haase, drummer Dan Elkan, and bassist Jeff Scheel until 2006. After Scheel's departure, Jake Shears joined on bass. They put out two more albums, 'Diamonds Under Pressure' in 2007 and 'Killings on the Moon' in 2011. Tracks such as 'Let Me Burn' and 'My Exploding Brain' continued to explore the darker, anxious themes that defined much of their work.

Zeropointzero's music often pulled from alternative rock and post-hardcore, avoiding polish in favor of a more direct, emotional approach. Their recordings, including the 'Diseased (DIE SECTION Version)' and 'In Sanity,' captured a particular strain of early-2000s Los Angeles rock that resonated with a specific audience, even as the band itself remained somewhat under the radar compared to bigger acts from the same scene.
