0DFx (also known as Zero Defects or Zero Defex) is an American hardcore punk band.

History

The band was formed in Akron, Ohio, in late 1981[1] by Tom Seiler of local punk group The Bursting Brains,[1] Mick Hurray of the neo-surf group The Nelsons,[1] and Jim Friend of V-Nervz.[1]

The band went through a few bass players before placing an ad in the Cleveland free paper Scene.[2] Brad Warner, who had been in a new wave group called Mmaxx,[3] answered the ad and after an afternoon audition he was accepted into the band. Warner remained a member of the group until its dissolution.[4]

The band dissolved in the spring of 1983.[5]

In December 2005, Jim Lanza hatched the idea of reviving a handful of old Cleveland-area punk bands for a one time show entitled Cleveland's Screaming.[6] Warner decided to take the opportunity to create a documentary about the punk rock scene in Akron and Cleveland in the 1980s also entitled Cleveland's Screaming.[6] The documentary was released in 2007.[7] [8]

Since they reformed, the band has begun writing and recording new music. In early 2013, the band signed to the record label Revolution Harmony.[9] Zero Defex still plays shows as often as the band members are able.[10]

Guest appearances

0DFx appeared on the Ohio-based punk rock compilation, The New Hope[11] and on the nationally released International P.E.A.C.E. Benefit Compilation,[12] which has remained in print since 1984.[12]
