MILE MARKER ZERO

Mile Marker Zero biography
If you've ever played the game Rockband then chances are you are already familiar with MILE MARKER ZERO and their music. The band was formed around 2003 in New Haven, Connecticut with the preconceived intention of taking an off-kilter, multi-tiered approach towards rock music. One of the main goals was to create music that was a real experience for the listener, an idea that was clearly inspired by the quintets fine indulgence in the early progressive rock music of the 70's and its epic style songwriting. Still there is definitely more to the band's style than just rehashing the past glories of others. MILE MARKER ZERO manages to blend their progressive rock tendencies with the mid-90's alternative rock music while adding a definite metal edge to the mix.

The band released an EP called The Haunted in August 2006, which also marked the point where the quintet's lineup began to settle into place with Dave ALLEY on vocals, Mark FOCARILE on keyboards, John TUOHY on guitar, Tim RYKOSKI on bass and Doug ALLEY on drums. Their self-titled studio album "Mile Marker Zero" was released in 2009 and it has given us a clear understanding of what this band is all about. If you want music that is grandiose and over the top, while still strongly melodic and accessible then you should definitely give MILE MARKER ZERO a go!
