Bio
ZELOS (pr. zay-loss) is a rock band based out of DC with a unique sound rooted in the fertile soil of the timeless melodies of classical music. The Groveman brothers form the core of this four piece band and received their classical training from the Levine School of Music in Georgetown, Catholic University of America and the University of Maryland. After years playing tunes as a string quartet in the dark corners of D.C.'s elite wine and cheese parties, the brother's affinity for songwriting and live performance was awakened. Add to the mix a clockwork drummer with cool hair and you have the birth of ZELOS. ZELOS' music has been described as a hybrid sound with brit-rock, acoustic, alternative and folk pop influences. However, the guys have this to say about the music they make: "Whenever people ask us what kind of music we make, we have the hardest time answering that question. Instead of trying to spontaneously come up with an exhaustive list of art we just say, 'any music that strikes a chord of emotion common to humanity with individual originality.' We hope some of our music achieves this for our listeners." The band is currently in the midst of recording a much-anticipated, full-length album slated to for release in the first part of 2011. Stay tuned, there's a good possibility ZELOS' soaring melodies and catchy hooks will keep you and your iPod happy for a long, long time.

Bio:

ZELOS (pr. zay-loss): Excitement of mind, ardour, fervour of spirit; ardour in embracing, pursuing, defending anything; zeal in behalf of, for a person or thing.

ZELOS is a rock band out of the suburbs of Washington, D.C. The band’s unique, melodic-rock sound draws from a lineup of highly trained, gifted musicians and is gaining recognition with each new audience.

The Groveman brothers form the core of this quartet and received their classical training from the Levine School of Music in Georgetown and the University of Maryland. After years performing as a string ensemble for Washington area social functions, the brother’s affinity for songwriting and live performance was energized by the addition of an experienced drummer.

.. The venues they play these days are significantly louder than the gazebo garden parties of their early years, but the sensitivity of their musical instincts remains intact in the rock context. ZELOS has been described as a mixture between Coldplay, John Mayer, and The Fray, but the guys offer this description of the music they make:..

"Whenever people ask what kind of music we enjoy, its a hard question to answer. Instead of trying to give an exhaustive list of our influences--to include Bach, Beethoven, and the Beatles--we like to say, ‘We’re into any music that strikes a chord of emotion common to humanity with individual originality.’ We hope some of our music achieves this for our listeners."

Having self-produced their "Before the Morning" EP, the band is excited about working with Ted Comerford at LowWatt Recording Studios on a full-length album slated for release in Summer 2010. The first single release "Crime" is the first hint at the new direction of their sound. If you enjoy the music, leave us a comment and add the song to your page!
