StarZero

About

StarZero “It was literally one of those moments where you walk into a room – no planning, no real music to play – and we just went at it,” recalled StarZero guitarist James O’Brien of the SoCal quintet’s first rehearsal. “It was magical. I just felt that fire … I was a teenager again”. Based in the surfers’ paradise of San Clemente, California StarZero are unabashed ‘90s grunge/alt-rock flag bearers creating original music referred to as Nu-Grunge that’s firmly for the here and now. Centered upon the soaring, Chris Cornell style vocals of Josh Paskowitz, former Co-Frontman of The Flys alongside his brother Adam, StarZero channels the hefty yet melodic and uplifting aura of Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots with utter authenticity and zero compromise. Paskowitz, who sold a million records and toured the world, including opening for the Rolling Stones, with The Flys. “When these guys (StarZero) are doing their thing it’s liberating, it’s invigorating, it’s empowering”. “We’re not trying to imitate, it’s just what comes out of us,” enthused O’Brien, whose effervescent energy would shame most teens. “I’m baring my soul with this music”.Their sound is a rush of blood that’s foreboding and darkly dramatic. Now allied with Fever International Music Group and an experienced manager Todd Page, the band has caught the ear of Producer/Engineer Cameron Webb (Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Motörhead Sum 41 etc.), who helmed their debut recordings at his Maple Sound studio in Santa Ana, California. StarZero: it’s like absolute magnetic north; it’s like the origin point, where you’re completely free to create a new beginning”.
