Influences
Check out what the Press/Media says about The Absolute Zeros
"...I'm glad I heard The Absolute Zeros, they have a definite, definite sound. This is wonderful. It's a little acoustic, a little folk, a little funk...." - Acoustic Philly Podcast 26, June 17, 2007 (Single Played - "The Trouble With Love") - www.acousticphilly.com
"...Diversity is one of the strong points behind The Absolute Zeros. Not only does their music cross many styles, but their members cross many generation and walks of life.... When put together they all make incredible music." - The Compendium, Volume 3, Issue 7 - www.localmusicnetwork.com
"The Absolute Zeros are one of the "must see acts" at the Dewey Beach Music Conference" - Spark Weekly (Delaware), September 25, 2007 www.sparkweekly.com
"The Absolute Zeros have only been together for about a year, but already they have formed a tight-knit bond over their passion for music......[they] have a positive outlook and zealous dedication for music—something that is needed to survive in today's music scene" - Campus Philly, February 2008 - www.campusphilly.org
"...[The Absolute Zeros are a] brand new band to Hometown Heroes....they recently sent in their CD....cool new band!" - Mark Rogers - Host of 93.7 WSTW Hometown Heroes (Delaware) - March 9, 2008 (Single played - "We Can Sell You Anything")
"If at first the Absolute Zeros sound like just another classic rock-influenced local band, listen again...The Absolute Zeros' rangy tunes blend modern rock moves with Hendrix-heavy guitar, bluesy digressions and James Brown-style funk. It's a sweaty and dynamic combination..." - Philadelphia Weekly - April 16-22, 2008 www.philadelphiaweekly.com
"...the Zeros are way more interesting than any rising local band has any right to be....their sound dips into any number of familiar genres without becoming stuck in any....the band's lively playing and Cochrane's impassioned vocal style keep the energy level high." - Origivation Magazine, June 2008 (pages 24-25) Vol 7, Issue 4

"Having a special quality that allows for one's music to stand out from the crowd can really help make a band shine. Such diversity is one of the strong points behind The Absolute Zeros. Not only does their music cross many styles, but their members cross many generations and walks of life. When put together, they all make incredible music." Bill McThrill, The Compendium Vol 3, Issue 7
Formed from an unlikely union of beachtown British singer/songwriter Kelvin Cochrane and North Philly percussionist extraordinaire Sabu Rex, The Absolute Zeros performed a few low key gigs in 2006 while concentrating mostly on recording and finding the essential parts of a full live band.
Enter Steve La Monica and Bill Rose in January 2007. Steve nonchalantly strolled in and managed to fill the all important shoes of the bass player after a year long search and quickly recruited former bandmate, Bill Rose to complete the rhythm section.
The line-up was completed with the addition of Austin Madert on lead guitar in March 2007. Wah Wah stomping, mouth open bending, blues lick riffing Austin brings a very cool vibe to the band and has added some much needed melodic interjections to compliment Kelvin's chunky rhythm playing.
Following a breakout year that included being named, "Standout Performers" at Philly Rising (December 2007), a sold out performance at the Best of Philly Rising (World Cafe Live 1/18/08) a showcase at the Dewey Beach Music Conference, video features on Comcast on Demand, and the release of their debut EP in November 2007 just to name a few, The Absolute Zeros are preparing to promote themselves heavily in 2008 in Philly and beyond.
FUNKY as you wanna be, more ROCK than Gibraltar, SOUL to the ninth power, COOLER than ice-cold.....come check us out. We WILL blow your mind.
