Punk-Rockers Authority Zero Release New Single off Upcoming EP

Music Review | 30th Oct, 2024 Authority Zero

Celebrating 30 years as a band, punk-rockers Authority Zero prepare for the release of their latest EP with a new single, Long Way To Go.

DeVore, bassist Mike Spero, guitarist Brandon Landelius and drummer Chris Dalley spent a week in Arizona writing their upcoming EP, the first new music from the band since the 2021.

Speaking about the latest single front-man Jason DeVore says;

We've all been congested. We've all been broken at some point, and we've all been striving for a better day, every day. Unfortunately that doesn't just magically happen. It takes work, it takes courage, and it takes consistency. Without that you'll keep tripping up and taking steps backwards.

It's about realizing that if you change nothing, then nothing changes, so why would you not expect the same result time after time? You can't just keep trying to convince yourself that everything's fine and keep turning a blind eye to it, when you know it's clearly not if you want change.

Inner battles, social or political adversity, you name it. It will all just keep repeating itself until you start to recognize that a different approach is necessary. Even then, you've got a long way to go, and that is just the beginning.

The EP Thirty Years: Speaking to the Youth is set for release on 1st November and reflects on the past spread-out over a collection of powerful six-songs by a band with a musical bond since they started as high school kids in Mesa, Arizona.

Speaking about the EP Thirty Years: Speaking to the Youth, frontman Jason DeVore says;

It's about the journey of this life and the awareness of it all. Each moment good or bad. If there's something that you love and feel a strong conviction about, don't be afraid to stand up and speak about it, fight for it, be heard, and ultimately live and embrace it in its entirety.

So, it's really what Authority Zero sounds like right now when you put the four of us in a room for a week.

It's us talking to ourselves as kids in a way and the future generations both present day and to come.
