History
Fear Zero's first album was the independently-released, Fear Zero in early 2004. The album received Canada-wide airplay. The single "Sunday Morning" was a top 40 hit[2] and "Satellite" reached the top 50. The band toured British Columbia and Alberta, and set out on a cross-Canada tour in late 2004.
In mid-2005, Fear Zero released an EP titled Concentrated. A single from that album, "Porno Nation", was placed in the top ten of the annual CFOX Seeds competition in Vancouver. Later, the single "Day Of Our Last Night" was in the top 50 chart at AOR radio in Canada.
After signing a recording deal with several investors, in mid-2007, In Lights, Fear Zero's third album was released by Fontana North/Universal.[3] A video for the first single, "Breathe Again", received airplay on Muchmusic and Muchloud from May to July 2007. The band played a 35-show cross-Canada tour, traveling from Vancouver to Halifax and back.[4]
Another CD was released in 2010 called Whole Damn Nation.[5]
