30 Years Of Arizona Punk From Authority Zero Bring The Future Tense Long Way To Go

Authority Zero 

Long Way To Go 

Arizona 

 

An iconic punk band with 30 years of massive sound behind you, Authority Zero showcase Long Way To Go.  That’s the single from their celebration EP, 30 Years: Speaking to the Youth which is out at the beginning of November. When you’re young, a long game plan is something that keeps you motivated during the many slopes we have to climb, and with a figurehead like a well-established band to look to, inspiration runs abound. Lead singer Jason DeVore talks about how each band member has been put through the grinder and left out to dry among the detritus of society, and it’s only the passion to stand up and keep going that makes the difference. Punk is all about that passion, and whether you’re wearing Prada or Kappa, leather or denim, whether your hair is green, pink, black, or blond, the punk attitude that runs through the music is something we can all use when needed.  

 

A crack of snare drives home the music as an uplifting guitar riff hits us with melodic phrasing. A rhythmic pulse manifests through the chords as the vocal begins to add colour and vibe to the surge of tuneful guitar. Catchy and easy to sing with, the verse launches into the chorus as the title of the song makes its mark. We can join in immediately, at least with that line, and as the great sounding riffs keep coming, learning the rest of it won’t take a long time. Upbeat and filled with a mature sense of forward-facing positivity, taking the high road sometimes means taking the overhang and that’s just fine. A fantastic groove with memorable melodies gives the Long Way To Go an urgency we can’t ignore.
