The Zero Boys are an American hardcore punk band hailing from Indianapolis, Indiana. Formed in 1979, they have been a driving force in the punk scene for over four decades. Known for their high-energy performances and raw sound, the Zero Boys have become icons of the genre.
Influenced by bands such as *Battalion Of Saints*, *JFA*, and *Necros*, the Zero Boys' music is characterized by fast-paced guitar riffs, aggressive vocals, and powerful drumming. Their lyrics often touch on social issues and personal struggles, reflecting the angst and rebellion that defined early punk rock.
With a discography that includes albums like "Vicious Circle" and "History of the Zero Boys," this legendary band has left an indelible mark on punk music. Fans of *Dicks*, *Teen Idles*, or *Angry Samoans* will find themselves drawn to the raw energy and authentic spirit of the Zero Boys' music.

The long awaited re-issue of 1982's "Vicious Circle" from Indianapolis-based Zero Boys. Unlike most coast punk of the time, the Zero Boys were pointing the way to a scene that could accommodate heaping helpings of melody, intelligence, and rock 'n roll suss, not just turbo-charged ferocity. When the Ramones lost it, the Zero Boys found it - adding a slam brigade fist to the blitzkrieg beat. They managed to come up with one of the best early 80s punk records. "Vicious Circle" has been remastered from the original tapes. Liner notes by Jack Rabid. Between this and "History Of", the entire recorded output of this legendary Midwest punk band's original line up is finally collected.
