About Me

Get Your Own Real Time Visitor Map!A Brief history....
Level Zero is a young, talented band based in South Plainfield, New Jersey (central Jersey.) Started in 1999, the band features SP-born members Ryan on Vocals and rhythm guitar, Josh on lead guitar and background vocals, Danny on drums, and Chris on Bass. They mix every style of music from every type of musician to form a sound truly unique to themselves; Alternative, Prog, Punk, Experimental, Jazz, Funk, and straight up rock all create the Level Zero sound. They have a reputation for having one of the most exciting, entertaining live shows on the Jersey Music scene, with suprises always in store. Previous shows have been based in the New York/New Jersey area including gigs at Starland Ballroom, The Saint, Club Krome, the Birch Hill, the world famous Stone Pony, and the legendary and now defunct CBGBs. Level Zero has recorded 3 demo CDâ€™s that they cycle out to the public themselves; the most recent being recorded in Late July-August 2004. With the addition of Chris on bass in May 2006 and his promise of dedication and love for all types of music has given the band a new fire. Level Zeroâ€™s unique style and young age will keep them together making new and creative music for a while to come.
