A versatile punk outfit from Arizona, Authority Zero have sustained a multi-decade career based around a unique sound that blends hardcore, skatepunk, reggae, and ska with Spanish and Portuguese influences. After building a strong regional following in the late '90s, they broke out nationally with albums like Andiamo (2004) and Stories of Survival (2010). Despite numerous lineup shifts and setbacks, Authority Zero continued to thrive in the 2010s, celebrating their 20th anniversary in 2015 and releasing 2017's Broadcasting to the Nations, which earned the highest chart position of their career. The band released their eighth studio album, Ollie Ollie Oxen Free, in 2021.
