By Jason •
Detroit's finest prepare to dominate the stage with their latest hard-hitting anthem and a hometown return.

After the thunderous impact of their track "Queen Of The Damned," which scorched its way onto SiriusXM Octane’s Test Drive, Detroit's own Citizen Zero is back with a vengeance. Their latest single, "New America," is a hard-hitting anthem that promises to elevate the band's momentum to new heights.

With the powerhouse lineup of vocalist Josh Mayle, guitar wizard Sammy Boller, bassist Sam Collins, and drummer John Dudley, this new track is a masterclass in explosive energy and razor-sharp musicianship. Produced by the legendary Jim Kaufman, known for his work with icons like Helmet and Everclear, "New America" is a definitive showcase of Citizen Zero's sonic evolution, packing the kind of punch that fans have come to crave.

Mark your calendars, because on December 4, Citizen Zero will take the stage at The Shelter in their hometown of Detroit. This marks a long-awaited return where fans can expect an electrifying live experience featuring tracks from their latest singles as well as their acclaimed debut album, State Of Mind.

For over a decade, Citizen Zero has been a hidden gem in the Detroit rock scene, steadily carving out a loyal following through relentless touring and unforgettable performances. Their 2016 debut album, State Of Mind, catapulted them onto the national radar thanks to the infectious hit "Go (Let Me Save You)," which introduced audiences to their dynamic sound and electrifying stage presence.

As they hit the road, Citizen Zero has proven to be a formidable live act, sharing stages with rock heavyweights like Halestorm, ZZ Top, and Black Stone Cherry. They've graced major rock festivals, solidifying their status as one of the most compelling rising acts in modern rock.

Last month, they kicked off a new chapter with "Queen Of The Damned," released exactly ten years after State Of Mind. This track is not just a new release; it’s a declaration of their unwavering commitment to the power of rock music. Citizen Zero is not looking back; instead, they’re charging ahead, embracing their roots while pushing into bold new territories. With new singles dropping and a hometown live show on the horizon, it’s clear: Citizen Zero is ready to unleash their next chapter upon the world.
