Everything from the big band jazz of Al Bowlly and the blues of Bessie Smith through to the rock ‘n’ roll of the 50’s, the punk and new wave bands of the late 70’s through to the electronics of Depeche Mode and the Prodigy through to the metal of Danzig and Rammstein.
We particularly like music that is not afraid to cross genres or mix guitars with keyboards like Faith No More.
We are often compared to Blondie or early Garbage.
Sounds Like
Switchblade Symphony, shredded through Garbage’s mid-period and drip-fed with some Lydia Lunch and a pinch of Reznor.
~ Zeitgeist Zero have been described as one of the most exciting and fastest growing bands in the alternative music scene.
Simultaneously jaunty and jaundiced Zeitgeist Zero are a contradiction; combining synthesisers and keyboards with the more human elements of crunchy guitars, melodic piano and passionate female vocals, often compared to Blondie or early Garbage, the band play edgy, progressive music with a rock 'n' roll attitude.
Lyrically personal experiences are drawn upon to write emotional songs whilst maintaining a balance of catchy hooks and sing-a-long melodies.
Taking the best of all their influences from Gothic, electronic, pop to rock from cabaret to rockabilly. The band’s new album ‘Dead To The World’ exudes confidence and style and revels in the glamour of the 40’s and 50’s with eye-catching photography and album design. Blues style vocals sweep over cool electronics and cold uncaring guitar to form a dirtier, darker album than their 2005 debut.
Teresa Dead (Vocals) and Corin Zero (Guitars, Synths, Programming) formed Zeitgeist Zero in early 2003. They were later joined by Kerry Von Null (Keyboards, Drums, Backing Vocals) and quickly gained a reputation for their exciting and energetic live shows. Over the next two years they played numerous shows throughout the UK and appeared on both ‘Sick Twisted Individual - Volume 1’ and ‘Dark Salvation - Volume 1’ compilations.
2005 saw the band release their self produced debut album to international critical acclaim, leading to appearances along with cover disc tracks in several international magazines including; Sonic Seducer, Zillo, Kaleidoscope, Unscene, Devolution, Insomnia and TWF. The same year, the band were also interviewed live on Crush FM and interviewed by the renowned journalist/music author Mick Mercer as well as appearing at the ground breaking Beyond The Veil III festival in their hometown of Leeds, UK.
In 2006 Zeitgeist Zero kept up the pace with several more radio interviews including BBC Radio 6 and Dark Assimilation, followed by a string of festival appearances including the huge Wave Gotik Treffen (150 bands , 25,000 people) in Leipzig, Carnival of Souls in Derby and Woolstock in Leeds. Continuing into 2007 with appearances at Dark City Festival in Edinburgh & Gotham Festival at the Islington Academy, London, the band have maintained an outstanding reputation for winning audiences over with their energy and passion. In 2007 the band added live video projection to their stage show to create an intense, audio-visual experience leaving audiences transfixed. In 2008 the band recorded their second album “Dead To The World” enlisting the skills of John Fryer (HIM, NIN) to mix and John Dent (Goldfrapp) for mastering. With an increased confidence and a superior recording quality and technique the second album revels in the glamour of the 40’s and 50’s with eye-catching photography and album design. In late 2008 the band were joined by Bex Noire on bass guitar and backing vocals and in early 2009 James Grave replaced Kerry on synths and backing vocals.
In April 2009 Zeitgeist Zero launched their second album “Dead To The World,” were featured in the book “Music to Die For” by Mick Mercer and played the main venue at the legendary Whitby Gothic Weekend in the same month.
In the second half of 2009 Zeitgeist Zero were featured on the cover disc of Synthetics , Unscene and Dark Spy Magazines. Dark Spy Magazine voted 'Dead To The World' their favourite album also included an extensive interview with the band.

— Peu de personnes avaient fait le déplacement à la Mare aux Diables hier soir, l'établissement n'est pourtant pas si difficile à trouver dans la campagne templeuvoise... Trois concerts de qualité cependant, les absents ont eu tort encore une fois! Pour ceux qui auraient des remords quelques photos de la soirée sur:
— Pas énormément de monde et c'est bien dommage car c'était une chouette soirée... La vraie découverte de la soirée ce sont les anglais de Zeitgeist Zero : leur show est très chouette. Parfois dancefllor electro, parfois rock'n'roll avec un putain de bon son de guitare sur certains titres. Dommage qu'ils n'aient pas (ou plus ?) de batteur car je suis sûr que ça serait encore mieux. Voilà un groupe découverte qui mériterait vraiment de passer au
