Don't Push Me Around

The Zeros is a pioneer punk rock band formed in 1976 in Chula Vista, California. Comparisons with The Ramones are often made when describing the energetic and fierce guitar driven sound of the group.

Their debut single was released in 1977 on Greg Shaw’s very own Bomp! Records. It included ‘Don’t Push Me Around’ and ‘Wimp’, two of the greatest punk rock songs of all time, both written by Javier Escovedo. It was followed by another single in 1978, “Wild Weekend” and a third one in 1980, “They Say That (Everything’s Alright)”.

The first singles recorded by the band instantly catapulted The Zeros into a top draw on the local scene and have become legendary. Unfortunately, the band never cut an album during these days.

This release compiles all their early singles, some rare tracks (including the previously unreleased ‘Left to Right’) and songs taken from a 1978 live show.
