Bob Gilmore - Class Of Zero
For the last couple years Class Of Zero has made their name known to fans of hard rock around the world. Independently touring the U.S. and Europe and recording two albums, Class Of Zero have proven that the band is here to stay. The band formed in late 2003 with Soul Rainey, Sevin, Chris Dunn, and Bob. Soul and Sevin having grown up together in various bands, Chris and Bob having been in their own various bands, all came together at the end of a band called W3G, White Trash 3rd Generation.

Now with a new line-up, and a different approach to writing songs, the four began writing songs that have gone into more personal matters, and have defined an original sound that can only be described as Class Of Zero. With these new songs and the family the band had become they began playing any show that they could get on, constantly dominating the stage, and stealing the show every time. The band ended up creating a huge buzz, a loyal fan base, and before long knew that something different was happening here. Class Of Zero began recording their first album, and before long were offered a tour that would take them into Europe.

Now, with an album in the works and an international tour ahead, the band started thinking about bringing in a second guitar player to go on the tour for the live show and the live sound. After several rounds of auditions, no one clicked with the band, so they figured it was going to stay a four piece. That was the way it started, and that was the way it was going to stay. Not long after giving up on finding a guitar player, Sevin started jamming with long time friend, and guitar player, Billy Peele who had moved to L.A. a few years earlier in search of joining a band, and ended up in a band on the L.A. circuit.

It didn't take much time before Billy was brought in to try out for the band, sure enough, he ended up filling the shoes of what the band was looking for, except rather than coming in for the live show and sound for the European tour, Billy was coming in as the fifth member to the band. Now with the final line-up complete, Class Of Zero was ready to release the first album and head out on tour. The tour was a success and the band managed to create a worldwide loyal fan base. Which brings us to now.

The band is now on their second album………. More shows and touring ahead… More new people discovering the band… and for Class Of Zero, the new album, All Or Nothing, says it all.
