Band Members:
Eric D. (Vocals/Guitar) - Born June 11, 1982
As a child rock & roll music was a big part of my life, but it was a friend who turnd me on to punk music in puticular. The tempo, the energy, the raw power, it all spoke to me and I knew that this is what I wanted to do with my life. Another friend of mine played bass in a band. So I worked as a roady for
them to get in to 21+ clubs. I went to their practices to see first hand how the music was made. A year later I was playing guitar in my first band. Another band soon followed. This time I started wrighting lyrics to the songs, but none of those lyrics would come to be used till CODE ZERO. With CODE ZERO i figured it was time to step up to front man or at least half a front man along side J. whom I met through a mutual friend.
J. (Bass/Vocals) - Born December 9, 1978
J. has always been into music, since he was a young lad. Growing up his grandfather and father were musicians, his grandfather played in a pretty large bluegrass band. He grew up listening to his Uncle Rus play guitar, this is his earliest exposure to music. All growing up he looked up to his Uncle and wanted to learn to play guitar. So he asked his uncle to show him how. Which eventually led to his uncle asking him to play bass guitar in a band. So using what he had learned from playing guitar he picked up the bass and the rest is history. Through his teenage years J. was involved in the local music scene. In and out of several different local bands. Constantly searching for that chemistry between musicians. Frustrated with the lack of chemistry in his previous bands J. struggled to find musicians who clicked well with him. Through a mutual friend J. met up with Eric D.
Doug Reash (Drums) - Born July 7th, 1981
During my grade school years I had toyed with a few stringed instruments. it wasn't untill middle school that I found out about band and orchestra. I played the string bass and clarinet, but my mind always leaned towards the drums. So late in my 7th grade year I started studying for the timing test for 8th grade. Throughout 8th grade I was chosen for first chair for the advanced band. I spent 9th grade as a pit percussionist, I didn't really play on the drum line yet. I wanted to play the snare. Finally in 10th and 11th grade I was chosen to play snare on the drum line. I eventually started playing my drumkit. I started jamming with friends. My first band. We played together for many years untill I moved to Tampa. Frustrated with having one band after another fall apart, I took some time off and moved to Fort Myers. I noticed a band looking for a drummer and decided to give it a shot. After playing with the guys for one night i knew this was where I belong. With Code Zero.
