EVIL ZENITH

is a Rock n' Roll duo from Rockford, IL, which features multi-instrumentalist and Producer, Micky Torpedo, on Bass VI and Vocals, and wild man, Skitch Patterson (aka David Doyle, aka Doyle E. Coyote!) on drums.

Though they've been longtime friends, the two had never collaborated musically, but Micky had always appreciated and admired Skitch's approach to the drums. After traveling the world a few times over, Skitch eventually returned to his hometown of Rockford, and Micky started writing songs around Skitch's drumming style. The two began jamming in 2019, and slowly they created, and refined this collection of tunes over the next year and a half. 

After only a handful of live performances, the pandemic threw a grenade

into reality. Fast forward a few months, after having some time to digest

this new existence, the band reconvened. They had a few socially distant

recording sessions in the summer of 2020 at Underground Squirrel Studio

in Rockford, IL, eventually completing the album the following winter. 

​

Their self titled debut is a rowdy, grungy, angsty, and at times, beautifully

landscaped collection of unique tunes, that make a great musical snapshot

of this shared moment in time. The album features guest appearances by

Phil Torpedo (noise guitar) and Amanee Avery (saxophone). It's available

for digital purchase below, or grab a physical copy on the EZ Bandcamp page,

or through the Underground Squirrel Studio online store. Otherwise, it can be

found on most streaming platforms. Auwooo!
