about
The Zero Boys is a hardcore punk band from Indianapolis, Indiana, formed in 1980. The band currently consists of Paul Mahern (vocals), Dave Lawson (guitar), Scott Kellogg (bass), and Mark Cutsinger (drums). The band's most well-known release is the 1982 debut album "Vicious Circle", considered a landmark album in hardcore and pop punk by critics. Through the band's on-and-off tenure, Mahern and Cutsinger are the only consistent members across each lineup. In early 1980, Indianapolis high school student Paul Mahern would join up with three friends from his school; Rick, Randy, and Kevin, and together the 4 started a band under the name "3PM", named after the time they got out of school. 3PM was a short-lived local band, playing only a few house shows in early 1980. At one of these shows, 3 older Indianapolis musicians, guitarist Terry Howe, drummer Mark Cutsinger, and bassist John Mitchell would watch the band perform. The 3 of them, looking to recruit a singer, escorted Paul Mahern out of the band after the show for their own band. The band, naming themselves "Zero Boys" after the name given to thugs in Chicago that Cutsinger had read about, would form in early May 1980, playing their first show on May 31st, 1980, at the esteemed local Indianapolis club Crazy Al's. The following month, the band, with the help of friend Ted Dunn, would record 5 tracks in Dunn's basement studio, all in one night on a 1/2 8-track recorder. These 5 tracks would be released 3 months later in Sept
