If anybody knows what happened to The Zeropretties, please contact me. The Zeropretties is (was?) a five-piece riot grrrl band (plus male drummer) from Manchester. Around 2004, I happened to stumble upon one of their songs on Purevolume. The song is called "You Never Know," and it's from their EP In It For The Noise. The song is a giddy rock romp, propelled to delightfully wicked heights by the crash and thrash of drums and the strong, intense (female) vocals. It's difficult not to do some sort of jumping or head-bobbing when hearing this song.
There is little to no information on this band today- they used to have an official myspace, but it's been taken down along with their Purevolume page. Their official site hangs stagnantly in cyberspace, only a few links still working. There is a Meefo page for the band which gives some background information as well as a download for their song "Sleaxxxe"- I don't think it's free (it wasn't when I tried it), but I'm sure you clever people could figure out an alternative way to acquire it.
Since the band has most likely broken up (sigh), there are probably few ways of finding this song online. As an audiophile and admirer, I feel an obligation to keep The Zeropretties' memory alive. That is why the link for the song won't expire. Listen and enjoy.
