Authority Zero
Band Mesa United States Formed 1994 American punk rock band
Authority Zero formed in 1994 in Mesa, United States. Authority Zero has 17 chart appearances on 13 radio countdowns from 10 stations on RockLists, spanning 2002–2011. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “One More Minute”, which appears on 5 lists with a best position of #16. The station that charted Authority Zero most often is The Edge (Phoenix, AZ), with 5 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2002.
Authority Zero came out of Mesa, Arizona, in 1994, and they have spent the years since playing punk rock with a desert sunburn: skate-punk speed crossed with a reggae lilt and flashes of Spanish and Portuguese flavor. Jason DeVore has been out front singing since 1995, and for a long stretch the engine around him was Bill Marcks on guitar, Jeremy Wood on bass and, from 1999, Jim Wilcox on drums.
The Patches in Time EP, in 2001, carried "One More Minute", and Andiamo followed in 2004 with "Revolution" and "Mexican Radio"; Lava Records is among the labels that have had their name on the band. The lineup started to shuffle after that. Wood left in 2006 and Marcks in 2008, and Wood was back by 2009, the year before Stories of Survival and its fists-up "Get It Right". Brandon Landelius came in on guitar in 2011 and Sean Sellers took the drums in 2012, both staying through 2015.
They have never stopped grinding: eight studio albums as of December 2025, five live albums, a pile of EPs and singles, and regular runs through North America, Europe and Japan.
