Hit: 5 Stars
I've been paying attention to these guys since their earliest gigs, fresh out of New York.
This is just a great, great three-piece band that really merges the classic sounds of hard rock's heyday with a bit of the grit of modern rock. During one of the club gigs I saw them play, singer/guitarist Paulie Z literally leaped across the tables to get the crowd fired up, which certainly surprised a lot of people. The music leaps out and demands attention in almost the same way, coming at you in the tradition of Led Zep (whose band is paid a sly tribute in ZO2's "Get the Led Out"), Aerosmith, and even the dual lead vocal stylings of KISS. Traces of modern influences such as STP, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Audioslave also creep into the music.
That should give you some indication of which direction the songs will take you in. It's not very typical these days, but an interesting hybrid, nonetheless. Both the band and the material are tight. The Brothers Z (Paulie and David) handle vocals, guitars and bass, respectively, and really hammer these riffs away, while drummer Joey Cassata holds down a firm groove all throughout. My personal picks playing on repeat are currently the high-energy "If You See Kay," the slow, harmony-laden "She Believes," and the breezy title track, but it all flows well from start to finish. This is ZO2's second album, which really adds a couple more layers beyond their equally well-crafted debut, "Tuesdays & Thursdays."
All in all, in an age when rock and roll seems to be calling it quits or switching its sound out of embarrassment, it's really cool to see a song-driven band stepping up to the plate and flying the flag. Definitely worth a listen.
