Authority Zero

A versatile punk outfit from Arizona, Authority Zero has sustained a multi-decade career based around a unique sound that blends hardcore, skatepunk, reggae, and ska with Spanish and Portuguese influences. After building a strong regional following in the late '90s, they broke out nationally with albums like Andiamo (2004) and Stories of Survival (2010). Despite numerous lineup shifts and setbacks, Authority Zero continued to thrive, earning the highest chart position of their career with 2017's Broadcasting to the Nations, followed in 2021 by their eighth studio album, Ollie Ollie Oxen Free. The group celebrated their 30th anniversary with the 2024 EP 30 Years: Speaking to the Youth.
