The Zero Heroes were a Swiss mod-ska band from Geneva, Switzerland that released a couple of albums and a couple of singles. The two albums included all of their songs with the exception of the b-side from the No Illusions single. All of their releases were on a French label and, so, there is a lot of conjecture that they are a French band but they are, in fact, Swiss.
The band formed out of the ashes of two Swiss punk bands The Bastards and Jack & the Rippers.
Jack & the Rippers experimented with the ska/reggae sound with the song "Endless Peace" but the Zero Heroes were a new direction for both bands. They played very well written power-pop (mod)-ska songs. (with less ska on the second album.)

ReplyDeleteCheers
Razor
Razor, (and everybody else who sent me emails) I apologize and I'm quite embarrassed. I know they are Swiss. I don't know why I said they are Swedish.
ReplyDeleteI did research them before posting (several times)and I still put the wrong information. I have no excuse for this stupidity.(Seriously, I am embarrassed.)I have made the appropriate corrections but, still, I will hang my head in shame for the remainder of the weekend.
