Authority Zero is a punk rock band from Mesa, Arizona formed in 1994. The band's style is rooted in reggae and skate punk, with Spanish/Portuguese influences. They have released five albums to date and two DVDs. The band regularly tour North America, generally as support act.
Formation and Early Days (1994-1999)
Authority Zero was started in 1994 and consisted of two guitarists Bill Marcks, Jerry Douglas (also performing vocals) and drummer J.W. Gordon, all from Westwood High School. This trio put a few songs together without lyrics or basslines until the summer of 1995. When that summer rolled around, Douglas was expecting the yearly visit of his friend Jason DeVore, from Wyoming. Douglas introduced his long-time friend to Marcks who jokingly asked if he wanted to be their singer. Soon after, it became more than just a joke.
Marcks was impressed with DeVore's ability to "write catchy songs in fifteen minutes with really sticky hooks". The two quickly enlisted Jeremy Wood on bass, who actually taught Marcks and Douglas how to play the guitar. His experience with lead guitar and musical theory separated his bass playing from others'. Not just a "follow along," his baselines were independent and yet fluid with the music. However, because of Gordon's commitment to the Air Force, his position as drummer soon had to be replaced. Classmate, skateboarder, and drummer Daniel Garcia fit this empty stool like a missing puzzle piece. He brought a new charge and tempo that evolved Authority Zero's music into a faster, more complex, punk rock style. Eventually, however, differences and family obligations led to Garcia's exit from the group.
There's no way home! Yeah, yeah! They're taking on this mission, but don't recall a single thing While struggles tested patience far too cynical these days Each time I give an inch, you run away with the mile I'll keep running in place, keep cracking your smile Finished with this state in which I've lived for oh so long All gone are all the days that I stood weak, but now I'm strong I'm taking on this mission, but killing all that time We're standing by so free and letting go by holding on No turning back, I'm gonna live here forever There's no way home, no way home Burn my eyes out, we're facing the weather There's no way home, no way home We're alive, soul survive Trip on the footprints that we've left behind Realizing now, there's no way home Antagonizing fingers tap the back of shoulders stiff Just waiting for that moment just to push you off that cliff The gravity through bumpers and the gravity through cracks Is making you realize that there's just no turning back so Finished with this state in which I've lived for oh so long All gone are all the days that I stood weak, but now I'm strong I'm taking on this mission, but killing all that time We're standing by so free and letting go by holding on Now I'm holding on No turning back, I'm gonna live here forever There's no way home, no way home Burn my eyes out, we're facing the weather There's no way home, no way home We're alive, soul survive Trip on the footprints that we've left behind Realizing now, there's no way home Now we're blinded! No turning back, I'm gonna live here forever There's no way home, no way home Burn my eyes out, we're facing the weather There's no way home, no way home We're alive, soul survive Trip on the footprints that we've left behind
