Originally known as Upper Tree Leaf, this band was already making noise around the same time as Goose-Flesh, with a similar raw energy and local success. I joined the lineup in 2001, just as things started to take shape. Not long after, we rebranded as ZEV — and never looked back.

Rooted in 90s punk, grunge, and heavy rock, ZEV is all about dirty riffs, tight rhythms, and no-nonsense songwriting. We’ve kept the core together, writing and rehearsing week in, week out — driven by the same passion that lit the first spark.

Still loud. Still stubborn. Still here.
ZEV is where the noise lives on.
