Zero is a seminal Indian alternative rock band formed in 1998, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in the country's independent music history. Comprising Rajeev Talwar, Sidd Coutto, Girish 'Bobby' Talwar, and Warren Mendonsa, the band's sound identity is built on a foundation of post-grunge, pop-rock, and hard rock.
Their career arc peaked in the early-to-mid 2000s with the release of 'Albummed' and 'Hook', albums that defined the 'Indie' sound in Mumbai and beyond. Culturally, they occupy a position similar to college-rock icons, having headlined major festivals and influenced a generation of musicians who followed in the Indian circuit. Critically, they are praised for their technical proficiency, particularly Mendonsa's guitar work and Coutto's versatile drumming and songwriting. Despite hiatuses and members pursuing solo projects (like Blackstratblues), Zero remains a benchmark for quality and authenticity in the Indian rock scene, maintaining a dedicated cult following and significant legacy.
