Faction Zero formed in Northern New Jersey in 1993. The band played all over New York City/Northern New Jersey. The members of Faction Zero are hardcore scene veterans, having also performed in bands such as Against The Grain, 25 Ta Life, Punkinknucke, Son Of Skam, Subzero and others. Faction Zero has released two CDs: The full length debut CD "Liberation" on IJT records and currently out of print and War Stories a split CD with NYHC band Against The Grain which was released in 2003 (available via www.factionzero.com). Faction Zero also released two 7"s in 1995 on Division Records. These are still available via Division Records. These two 7"s contain the original 1995 demo recordings of Faction Zero. Faction Zero has been featured in too many compilations to count (in fact, i lost track a long time ago) Notable among these is the Oi/Skampilation Vol 1 released on Radical Records - we have a live track of Inside on the disk. This was a recording of a show at The Grand in NYC. We were the only HC band that played, since we had a lot of crossover appeal to various scenes at the time. We also found our way onto the soundtrack of a low budget horror film called Psycho Sisters and onto some skate/snowboard videos also. For whatever reasons, Faction Zero broke up and re-formed with multiple line-ups. The best (as is usually the case) was the original line-up of Bryan Essing (drums) Rob Yadimarco (vocals) Dave Urban (Bass) and myself (Chris D'Alessandro) on guitar. Rob sang on Liberation and on both 7"s, I handled the vocals on War Stories. When Faction Zero stopped playing full time as a band, I decided to keep the name alive and branch into opening a record label. The first release for Faction Zero Recordings was the War Stories split CD in 2003. Since that time, I have released several other CDs, focusing on local NJ bands ranging stylistically from punk to post hardcore and beyond. You can check out my label at www.factionzero.com and I am always looking for new bands. Recently, the original Faction Zero line-up has gotten back together, so you may be seeing more from us in the near future.
