Zilch. is a loud, hook-heavy alt-rock trio from the West Midlands, UK. Blending the grime and grit of early-‘90s grunge with sharp melodic instincts, their sound feels both familiar and freshly volatile. Think groove-driven riffs, fuzz-soaked choruses, and zero tolerance for beige.
SNQLX: Let’s start with the basics — who is Zilch.? Where did this all begin, and how did the three of you come together?
CAL: Me and Thom have known each other since about 2006 when we were in a band. We should have probably started Zilch. in 2008 really.
THOM: I was in a band called Navajo Ace at the time, which was a real departure from the kind of thing I normally do. I had an itch to get back to doing 90’s style stuff and Cal and I had talked about starting something new for a while, so we started writing and rehearsing as Navajo Ace disbanded.
ZACK: I got into Zilch. through joining a band with Cal called Pegging Mitchell!
