From their bio:

Woolgather is not your average every-day rock band from Texas. If ever a band with such a mesmerizing sound has taken all that they possibly could, from blood and sweat, time and money, love and loneliness, and poured it into each surreal note played and each emotion tugged, Woolgather is the one...

Zeroking fits the scene, like rivets to sheet metal!

Just wanted to post an excerpt from a live concert review, 3 years back.

Zeroking LIVE! 80's rock/metal/Just Plain Kick-ass Metal, from Huntington, W.V.

"...Zeroking fits the scene, like rivets to sheet metal!

Jalon and I arrived a bit early and found ourselves a seat with the guys from Further Lo band and the place was getting packed already. "So this is where all you, Ohio party animals hang out?!?!"

First up was Zeroking, kicking off with one of our favorite songs from them, Celebrity.

Lead vocalist Andy Haught, is very accomplished and proved he can dish out the same caliber of performance live, as on their CD. Wow! This band really understands pleasing the crowd!

Drugs Will Keep Us Together, was most likely the crowd favorite song from them. This song speaks volumes about the social interaction of some narcotics and speaks more about the musical abilities of these four, West Virginia wild men.

Shane Day is varacious and nimble on lead axe and drummer Chris Webb is a magnum force, sweat and guts drummer! When it comes to bass guitars, JP Boggs fits the perfect profile. For a band that sort of fell together, while performing in other projects, this foursome made a match from metal heaven and we can really dig them!

The crowd was still getting larger, as more patrons arrived and found themselves a place to stand. All seats were taken by this time and it was still early in the evening.

Next came the free Jagermeister shots-courtesy of Zeroking-delivered with a high powered squirt gun, direct from stage to mouth! The parties on now friends!!

"Jalon is right up in that shizzle, getting his shots in. I am trying to stay on focus and keep up the typing on this laptop, while wishing I could get my fun on too. Oh well, the bands deserve this and more, so it's well worth it in the end."

Zeroking kept the music coming for their set and gave the crowd one hell of great show!

Overall, Zeroking are a force to be reckoned with. A 5 star act with a promising future ahead of them....."

Minimalist Producer & Songwriter, David Alvarez and Shaolin Temple of BooM

The "millions of tracks played" club

Just got my copy of The Equinox from Shaolin Temple of BooM. This CD comes with a custom artwork on the inside cover, by David Alvarez! Not a print, but a hand drawn artwork! NO OTHER music artist has thought to customize each and every CD purchase in this manner. Of course, my copy is autographed by David. I am betting this concept release, will be even more valuable, as time goes on.

COMING SOON! Album title: Duel.
Release date: May 25, 2010
