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