Zero Motivation

Fight without honor, live without motivation.

About Me

Zero Motivation is a long going project that has had it's ups and downs. Formed with ex-MBC Mob members, Joey (Strike-o-matics) and Dustin. Drums were played and beaten by Jak (Lived like Murder/the Izm) and vocals were completed by newly transplanted Chris. After a solid year of shows and the recording of our first demo, Jak parted to pursue playing souly with the Izm. That's when Johnny J. stepped in. Known in Myrtle Beach for his Strike-o-matics and Hardgrave fame. It's been over two years and we are finally recording our first full length cd this June. Which should be available later that month along with the completion of our first video. Merch including tshirts, stickers, patches, etc will be here very very soon. Everyone enjoy the songs we have up right now and we'll see you in the pit.

Sounds Like: It's my long time love of old school punk mixed with a few different flavors. J J has been playing longer on the drums than me on guitar, and when he plays it fucking shows. Using his knowledge of old school alternative from "10 GAGE." Dustin is the "kid" of the group, he hasn't been playing nearly as long as any of us but his speed on guitar intimidates me. His downstroking and chord speed remind me very much of Johnny Ramone back in the motha-fuckin day.MR. WRIGHT ON BASS well he has been in STRIKEOMATICS,OCTOBER CHORUS and has no problem abusing the bass while keeping the vibe . And finally theres me, Chris, on vocals and guitar. I really don't play lead but I can pull off what sounds like it. And my vocals, well, if you like Mike Ness or Lars Fredreksen then you really want to check us out.
Record Label: none yet
