The Kerri Edelman Show presents Rock Band Citizen Zero

from The Kerri Edelman Show · host Kerri Edelman

When done honestly, rock ‘n’ roll can stick with you for a lifetime. It rides shotgun for the whole way, soundtracking those big moments and memories. Once you hear a Citizen Zero song, you remember it. The Detroit rock outfit—Josh LeMay [vocals], Sammy Boller [lead guitar], John Dudley [drums], and Sam Collins [bass]—deliver arena-size anthems fueled by intricate musicianship on their full-length debut album, State of Mind [Wind-up Records]. Striking a balance between edgy grunge attitude a la Stone Temple Pilots and bluesy alternative expanse reminiscent of Kings of Leon, their knack for a hook immediately resonated with a growing national fan base. The band recently arrived with their debut single, "Go (Let Me Save You)" exclusively premiering on  Guitar World. The song builds from an eerie melody into an overpowering refrain punctuated by an incendiary guitar lead and hypnotic vocal. “It’s actually the first song Sammy and I wrote together,” Josh remembers. “It happened right after the Sandy Hook tragedy. I was watching the news, and I couldn’t believe how the cameramen were consciously filming crying parents. It was so wrong. Having gone through tragedy, it made me really angry. I had to say something.” Following their single debut, the band has spent the summer on the road, playing major festivals like Rock on the Range and supporting acts like P.O.D. Today, the band are excited to announce another string of US tour dates, kicking off on the East Coast in Asbury Park, the tour takes the boys through New York City and across to Indianapolis, ending in Fresno, California. Joining them on the tour are fellow rockers  The Wans and The Black Moods. Their new record, State of Mind was released on August 12 via Wind-up Records.For more information, visit wearecitizenzero.com
