Mile Marker Zero Releases Debut Album Today

Self-titled Album Pushes The Progressive Rock Envelope


New York, NY – June 30, 2009 – The members of the New Haven County, CT-based band MILE MARKER ZERO are charged up about the release of their self-titled full-length debut, out today. The ten song opus was recorded in upstate New York at Applehead Studios(Coheed & Cambria, Straylight Run) and boasts a compilation of the bands best work to date together with some newly created epic tracks.

Recently awarded four stars by Prog-Rock website SeaofTranquility.org for their "superlative musicianship, and lyrical ability," MILE MARKER ZERO's songs are epic and ambitious, filled with unconventional arrangements and challenging rhythms, yet they also flow with powerful melodies and memorable choruses. Unique too are the bands with which MMZ has shared the stage – from Queensryche's Geoff Tate and Porcupine Tree to Spock's Beard and The Disco Biscuits.

"This album signifies a lot of hard work and effort that comes out of your speakers calculated and finely tuned not just for the satisfaction of the artist but for the ears of the fans as well." A+ - Shakefire.com

For years the band has been working towards this release with constant dedication, looking to better both our songwriting and live performance. Today is not only the release date of our first album, but the starting point of what we hope is a long, prolific career."

In support of the album the band recently wrapped up their first-ever television appearance for the nationally syndicated Fox TV music show- Fearless Music TV. With an air date to be announced shortly the band is truly excited for the national on-air exposure.
