“XERO SUM is an American band with melodic vocals flowing over heavy rock sounds.”-EMBRACE YOU

Formed in early 2004 by drummer Gabe Senour along with guitarist Trinity Martin and since departed member Joe VanMeter, Xero Sum was soon completed by bassist Brian Lewis and guitarist Dustin Green. Together the group quickly established themselves with a notably explosive live show that garnered a considerable hometown following. Over the last three years the quintet has not only welcomed vocalist Laura Sones into the fold but also set their sights on developing an arsenal of songs with a powerful-yet-far-reaching appeal.

Highlighted by Sones’s compelling appeal, the bands single, “Excuse Me” sees her passionately weave a story ripped direct from personal journals. With hardly any sense of self-righteousness, she’s an open book of life’s ups and downs where even moments of tension, doubt and disillusionment always come with an underlying impression of hope. Adding to the feel of every song are Martin, Lewis, Senour and Green, who provide swirling and surging sonics to match the lyrical muse. Xero Sum has already produced a breakout single in “Excuse Me”, with its interplay between vigorously catchy riffage and enticing vocal hooks it’s easy to understand why local new rock alternative station WRZX(X103fm) put Xero Sum into regular rotation.

2011 has already seen Xero Sum play with the likes of Fefe Dobson, Deluca, AWOLNATION as well as being added to this year’s lineup for WRZX(X103fm) annual May Day concert  held at Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville, IN.  Xero Sum will enter the studio beginning the first week of May to record two new songs for an as of yet untitled release.

Xero Sum will cap off the spring by co-headlining the Hard Rock Café sponsored music stage with Kramus at the 2011 Slamology on Saturday, June 18 at the Marion County Fairground.
