Init Zer0 is based out of Pittsburgh, PA.  Formed three years ago in 2002 by Joseph and Jarod, Init Zer0 has gone through many line-up changes.  Now, with the addition of Martin Osacar in January 2005, they finally have the core they need to confront the Pittsburgh Rock Scene.  Releasing a LP in July of 2004, the band has hit the tri-state area playing many bars and clubs with full force.  The complete line-up of Init Zer0 has a combined playing experience of 20 years.  Booked almost every weekend, the group has played many different venues and has met so many incredible people along the way.

Joseph’s musical upbringing was with classical music, playing the violin for 5 years before picking up the guitar.  Now, 10 years down the road and 4 guitars later, he keeps his progressions symphonic, while his vocal efforts remain melodic.

Jarod is a self taught musician entering his 11^th year behind the set. Spontaneous, creative, and down-right crazy, this drummer is the fire-cracker in your mail box.

Init Zer0’s fan favorite, Martin has been stroking the strings for eight years now. Jägermeister and No Fear Energy Drinks fuel this “Spanish Sensation.”

Init Zer0’s low end is brought to you through the hands of a classically trained bassist who slices his riffs with guided precision, timing, and attitude.
