Zen Vendetta is an ambitious rock band that is hell bent on creating the musical blend of the future. The four members are determined to break down the barriers between the soul of classic rock and the bite of modern rock. Scott Eckardt brings back the sharp vocals of the past, with his own bite of modern intensity.
The band's discography includes "The First Four", the debut EP recorded in just four days and "Out on the West Coast", Zen Vendetta's full length CD, which hit the charts in early 2009. Both Albums recorded in the multi-platinum Plant Studios in Sausalito, CA. Engineered by Mike Boden and produced by Josh Wolfer & Dennis Hill.
Since the bands inception, Zen Vendetta has shared the stage with name acts such as UFO, Chris Cornell, Journey, Def Leppard, and SugarCult as well as winning the Grand prize $10,000 for Best Original Band on the Make A Star show (FuseTV). They've recently signed partnerships with Tinderbox Music and A&R Unlimited to fully attack the music market utilizing airplay on hundreds of broadcast stations, as well as film and TV music placement.
Zen Vendetta is the premiere modern rock act for movies and television in 2009!
Expect to see more from this quartet in the coming months! The full length album can be found on iTunes and CDBaby marketplaces.

Zen! Dude, this is funny, but sometimes how bands make it! I was called in at the last minute to promote "ECHOFEST" totally blind. Never met the bands or anything. On the roster is a band called Vendetta. I myspace it and come up with you thinking your the band playing right! Wrong! But I listen and like your work! So here is what I'll do. Email John Hooten (stargazers2525@aol.com) tell him you know Ray Lovett personally! and want to book in Colorado. Zen, John owns the Stargazers Theather (www.stargazerstheathre.com)! By far the best venue in Colorado for a band of your status! John is a guy who will get you where you want to be and to a guy like me! Damn dude! This may be your big break!!!
