3.0 out of 5 stars Long live the Zero Boyz!, October 15, 2003

By 

Sheila Howe (Naples, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vicious Circle (Audio CD)

The Zero Boyz were very popular in the 80's in Indianapolis. I was what you would call a "groupie" of the Zero Boyz, and ultimately married the guitar player, Terry Howe (Hollywood).
The band had a very hard edge and was just getting started when they broke up. I have a collection of Zero Boyz albums that I have passed on to my twin boys, because their father Terry passed away 2 years ago. I have always loved punk rock bands, and I think the Zero Boyz were one of the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing quite like old fashioned hardcore!, December 20, 2000

By 

Joe S. (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vicious Circle (Audio CD)

It was one thing to come form the city and be in one of the more established hardcore scenes like Washington DC or California where labels were more well established like SST, Alternative Tentacles, and Dischord Records. But it is one thing to make yourself known from a small area like Indiana. But this band managed to make there mark. Paul Mahern was like the second coming of Darby Crash, yet he was original enough to keep it unique. Everything just flows perfectly on this cd. You might question some of Rancid's orginality after hearing this album (with bonus tracks to.) I swear this is one of my new favriotes after I gave this one a spin...

To bad this band only lasted like 3 years, they probably would have acquired some more recognition like bigger bands back then like Black Flag or the Dead Kennedys... Truly a great band...

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover this punk classic., January 26, 2004

By 

"obscure876" (Highland, Indiana United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vicious Circle (Audio CD)

Vicious Circle is a classic punk album that doesn't get the recognition of other punk classics. Most of these punk lists don't even have it on them. One girl who did called them english pop-punk, but they were a punk/hardcore band from Indiana. Their sound was simalar to DEAD KENNEDYS. Fast and hard but still very catchy and without the political preaching. If you claim to be a fan of punk rock you have to have this cd. I guarantee you'll like it and put it at the top of your list. And one more thing,how can the woman who was married to the guitar player only give this 3 stars?
