All the members of Pushing Zero come from very diverse backrounds and this gives our music it's own character. We have a catalog of over 60 original songs that covers a lot of sonic ground. We are trying to record music as fast as we come up with the money. We are a completely independent band and count entirely on the support of you, our fans. If you like some of the songs you hear please buy them from Outbound Music, Itunes, Napster, or right here on Myspace through our Snocap player. Our ability to get out new music literally depends on it. We believe that Snocap, Outbound Music and Noisehead marks a huge change in the music business. This is all of our's opportunity to get corporate label groups out of our music. The pure relationship between bands and fans is finally available. Now, it really is just about the music. Support your independent bands. And please spread our music to all your friends. Thanks for all your great comments and support. Peace and Love of Music.

Totally independent and therefore, Totally Pure...
The cold, dark winters of Maine have forged together a collection of musical talent known as Pushing Zero. The inception of this modern rock band begins years earlier in late 2001 when singer/songwriter, George Skala met drummer, Jason Loeb in a studio session. After completing graduate school, Skala returned to Loeb's forgotten, coastal town of Cape Split bringing with him fellow road warrior and Berklee bassist, Andrew Pelczar. Here among jagged cliffs and thunderous waves the trio began work on its epic debut, "The Chosen". This ground-breaking EP, released in May of 2004, launched Pushing Zero rapidly onto the covers of industry trades, "Face" and "Goodtimes" magazines, and sparked radio airplay on numerous rock radio stations. In June of 2004, Pushing Zero completed its line-up by adding the weilding guitar prodigy, Adam Hauk. This young virtuoso, classically trained since age six, catapulted Pushing Zero into becoming an unreconcileable force. Demand for PZ to play festivals (including the great grass roots Wheeliefest in Pennsylvania) placed them as openers before national and international acts including: American Minor, Ra, Plain White T's, Badfish, Longwave, Suicide Girls, Steve Pearcy of Ratt, Albert Bouchard of Blue Oyster Cult, Paranoid Social Club, State Radio, Screaming Cheetah Wheelies, The Trews, Steepwater Band, and Foghat. Pushing Zero also has captured the attention of industry masters: Don Grierson (Sheena Easton, J. Geils, Joe Cocker, Bob Seger), Anthony J. Resta (Guster, Shawn Mullins, Collective Soul), Jonathan Wyman (As Fast As, Paranoid Social Club) and others. At the beginning of 2005, Pushing Zero workshopped with Emmy award-winning producer/performer/songwriter, and E-Street Band founder, Bill Chinnock. Shortly thereafter, PZ released "Rite of Passage", another five song EP, on June 1st, 2005. With "Rite of Passage", Pushing Zero has acheived great exposure via GarageBand and Broadjam with their songs receiving countless awards. The band has also marketed to television and film securing both licensing and publishing agreements. In September of 2005 Pushing Zero conquered one of Maine's most popular modern rock radio station, WCYY, by winning the "Big Break" Contest, enabling them to play at Portland's State Theatre before a full house. Pushing Zero’s songs have been placed into regular rotation on the playlist of America’s largest independent radio station, 104.7 F.M. iRadio L.A. as well as Engage Internet Radio, Indie Rock Show, Indie Limelight Radio, Songwriter's Network, Band Radio, Insomnia Radio, Music4ipods, Under Truth Radio!, Outbound and many others. In November 2006, PZ advanced to the 3rd round of Boston's Bodog Battle of the Bands, in December 2006 to the final round out of 250+ bands at NYC's M.E.A.N.Y. Festival, and in February 2007 won 'The Battle of the Bands' at the University of Maine in Orono. In December of 2007, PZ released some new tracks here on Myspace recorded with Jonathan Wyman at Halo Studios. The band is currently on hiatus.

"Truth is, a great rock band can become a bit cynical after being in the biz and MAYBE some of that comes out time and again - don't blame the player blame the game. FAMOUS has great songs, great musicianship, and they are entertaining as hell to watch...rock-and-roll is catharsis meant to challenge our familiarities and that's just exactly what they do. I'm glad to see a band put their D@CK out there - hope you guys make it out of the ghetto. "
