Zero Cool was an idea forged inside the skull of KP, it came to fruition in October of 2007, he posted an add somewhere on line and a spry young buck named Porter was found to be the first drummer. J. Ralnyk offered to play bass for a little while, since he had one and was in the mood for something different. December 13th 2007 marked Zero Cool's first show, they had 4 jams under their belt. Porter exited stage left to never be seen again. Seeing as how they had agreed to play a show on February 23rd 2008 they quickly found a second skin player, J.C. Mike Johnson, and sort of ran him through everything the day before the show. After tear down, and a few hours spent drinking coffee, Mike exited stage right.
Zero Cool once again a two piece, opted to play an acoustic set at Concordia University College's "annual" battle of the bands. it made enough sense that they recorded a 4 track EP entitled "Pretty" and put 7 other songs recorded with a room microphone and call it a day. The audio from this show sounds like it was mixed by a deaf rodent, to quote J. Ralnyk. Not looking to be a folk act, Zero Cool, once again hunted down a new drummer. Paulie. Paulie didn't hit as hard, played just as fast, and was a bit of a change. KP swapped to bass for a bit, J. Ralnyk took over guitar duties, they recorded the "we're out here" EP, and then phoned Filldo McC because as it turns out they would rather be a 4 piece.
In other bands that would be it.. however, our story just moves on. grabbing a last minute opening slot for our friends in the Horny Coroners, Zero Cool played their fourth show. Paulie then exited the front of the stage, citing the need to do well in school or something. Zero Cool were bummed out. put up another ad, ignored all responses and found what should hopefully be the final piece of the puzzle, Andy Frybee. Andy stuck it out, put up with being called the new kid. hit hard, destroys sticks, and always wanted to play everyone else's gear. December 13th 2008 Zero Cool played their one year anniversary show. Andy stuck around, asked why we didn't have shirts, wore fur, and let us jump into a drum kit.
Andy currently has no plans to break up with Zero Cool.

Hey kids, sorry that our first album is an acoustic one. But we’ve had a bit of trouble finding a drummer that can stand us. So on that note I’d like to thank whoever downloads this glorified crap.
