Zero is an Indian rock band that started in the late 90s. Zero performed their last gig at Independence Rock XXIII on 30 August 2008, after which the band members split to go their own way. However, the band played a one off tour in December 2009 with their original line-up. They are widely regarded as one of the best bands on the Indian rock music circuit.[1][2]
Zero recently completed the "Two Zero One Zero" tour that ran through December 2010 to Jan 2011. The band returns to perform shows across various venues in India when all four members are in the country at the same time. Vocalist Rajeev Talwar is based outside India which is the reason why the band is not fully active.
Their popularity among collegians in India is rivalled by few. Their second album, Hook was a major hit with their fan base and was ranked as the #1 album of the decade by Indiecision.com where it is also available for free download. Hits like Lucy and PSP 12 [1] have enthralled crowds throughout the country.
About their third and most recent album Procrastination, this is what Split Magazine had to say:[3]
| “ | What do you get when India’s premier rock and roll band come out of slumber to give you a much delayed album?
Answer: The album of your lives! |
