“Proof that there is a ton of badass stuff left to be done
in rock and roll but also that ZED might be our generation’s rock gods.”
METAL INJECTION
Making their roaring presence felt in the Bay Area rock
scene since 2007, with heavy footprints and sonically indelible marks are San Jose earth shakers
ZED. With a sound based on the core principles of blues, heaviness and groove,
this quartet is the genuine article. No bell bottoms, wizard sleeves or hip
huggers for this crew. Instead, it’s a barrage of head-bobbing, air-guitaring,
hip-shaking, blues-driven riffage as delivered by the true bastards of rock and
roll.
From their inception ZED made a name for themselves with
their crushing live shows and incessant grooves. Having played together in
various projects since 1998, including releasing several albums with the band
Stitch for Prosthetic and Metal Blade Records, guitarist/vocalist Peter Sattari
and bassist Mark Aceves joined up with guitar wizard Greg Lopez and drummer
extraordinaire Sean Boyles to create a sound that was uniquely their own.
Drawing from their varied influences, ranging from classic ’70s rock to punk
and hardcore, by way of metal and old school funk, ZED write music fuelled by
nasty grooves. The band has even been called, “a pissed off Led Zeppelin with
Chris Cornell meets Ian Astbury on vocals.”
In recent years the band's momentum has exploded, signing to
Ripple Music and growing into a household name in the stoner rock community.
Their hard-grooving live show has seen the band perform as headline support at
Maryland Doom Fest and numerous SXSW events. They recently capped off their
first European tour with a benchmark performance at Desertfest Lodon, where
Kerrang! Magazine caught their set and said, “Their booze-drenched blues’n’roll
almost breaks into a riot as both band and audience raise the roof and plenty
of Hell in the process, leaving the most triumphant first impression.”

More praise for ZED:
“With fuzz, groove, blues and an unmistakable sound that
brings to mind bands like Wolfmother, ZED have turned in a release that
perfectly captures that live feel […] it’s an album that every fan of rock and
roll should relate to.”
POWERPLAY MAGAZINE
“ZED is rooted in Zeppelin-worshipping classic rockisms,
groovy stoner vibes and nods to country […] it’s comforting to know that there
are some crevices that still look to the past, not to the future, for
inspiration.”
METAL HAMMER
"ZED’s form of ‘heavy’ goes beyond the riff, pulling at
emotions and an energy that doesn’t rely on volume or sonic intensity.”
THE EXAMINER
“It’s one thing for a band to say they’re bringing the rock
and roll, but it’s quite another when that band succeeds in delivering, and
that’s just what ZED can do.”
