Citizen Zero is an American hard rock band from Detroit, Michigan. Citizen Zero employ an engaging mix of honest, homespun rock & roll and arena-ready alternative rock/post-grunge that's drawn comparisons to Stone Temple Pilots, Theory of a Deadman, and Kings of Leon. Founded in Rochester Hills in 2010 by siblings Greg (bass), John (drums), and Matt Dudley (guitar) and vocalist Josh LeMay, the band quickly caught the ear of Kid Rock's recording engineer Al Sutton, who whisked them into his well-regarded Rustbelt Studios and recorded their eponymous 2011 debut EP. Tragedy struck the following year with the death of eldest sibling Matt Dudley, positioning the group at a pivotal crossroads. Deciding to forge on, the band brought virtuosic guitarist Sammy Boller into the fold and headed back to the studio to finish up their sophomore EP, 2012's Life Explodes. In 2013, Citizen Zero nabbed a Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Rock/Pop Recording. In 2016 Citizen Zero inked a deal with Wind-Up Records and issued their much-anticipated debut studio long-player, State of Mind. Their debut single "Go (Let Me Save You)" peaked in the top 20 on the mainstream rock chart.
