The Zevo Evolution Inc.

Making music in living rooms since 1982!

About Me

In a way i'm kind of a one man Beatles: John Lennon's sarcasm,Paul McCartney's melodicism,George Harrison's Zen like outlook on life & Ringo Starr's singing voice!!! THE ZEVO EVOLUTION INC - not a band as such......more of a sonic diary starting from the early 80s going on through till the present day! Taking in solo recordings plus stuff i've recorded as part of THE NEUTRALS,FIELDS OF REGRET,THE DUST BUNNIES,BIGNELL & CRANSTON,THE SIMPLETONS,THE NOTORIOUS SIMPLETON BROTHERS,THE ZYGMOTICS & THE ACCIDENTS. Nearly all the material gathered here was recorded on normal cassette recorders with the occasional excursion into the realms of 4 track or 8 track studios. My belief is that a good song stands up no matter how its recorded! Unfortuneatly record companies never shared my beliefs (which still stand to this day - stubborn bastard that i am!) What you hear here then is what you get....rough,raw & rugged in places (a bit like me!). I make no apologies about the sound quality - CRASS released a series of BULLSHIT DETECTOR albums in the 80s (various punk bands,some of their stuff was recorded using the same primitive equipment i use) & that 'Do It Yourself' attitude is what i loved so much. X Factor? Pop Idol? Whatever happened to 'paying your dues',writing your own material,learning to play an instrument,etc? It's all 'nonsense' & no 'stuff!' Welcome to the real world folks! JACK ZEVO.
