Out November 1st, 2024
Legendary Arizona punk rock band Authority Zero is marking its 30th anniversary with the release of a new six-song EP titled ‘Thirty Years: Speaking to the Youth’, set to launch on November 1st.
The release is “essentially about believing in yourself and fighting for what you believe in,” frontman Jason DeVore says. “Whatever that may be.”
The lyrics reflect on the world he sees around him through the filter on his own experiences. “It’s about the journey of this life and the awareness of it all,” he says. “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.”
DeVore, bassist Mike Spero, guitarist Brandon Landelius and drummer Chris Dalley spent a week in Arizona writing an EP their first new music since the 2021 release of ‘Ollie Ollie Oxen Free’. Authority Zero then spent two weeks with producer Cameron Webb, who also took the helm on ‘Ollie Ollie Oxen Free’ and 2013’s ‘The Tipping Point’ at Maple Studios in Santa Ana, California.
