[PUNK] Though Mesa Arizona’s Authority Zero hails from a bit closer to the border than their California-based punk brothers in bands like Strung Out, Pennywise, and Bad Religion, they’re all cut from the same cloth. In fact, they all formed within the same six year period—between 1988 and 1994—as part of a mega-wave of West Coast skate punk bands that shaped the coming Warped Tour years. Since their formation the band has hosted a baker’s dozen worth of members, but lead vocalist Jason DeVore has stood strong since 1994. As true procrastinators, the band didn’t release their debut album, A Passage in Time until eight years later, in 2002—though it was worth the wait for fans, as it’s become a classic skate punk record. Their latest album, The Tipping Point, is a return to form which has pleased diehard and new fans alike. Authority Zero comes to the Studio at the Waiting Room on Tuesday, August 11 with support from Counterpunch, Rubedo, Orenthal, and the Barksdales.
