ZX3... A HERITAGE ALTERNATIVE ROCK BAND

ZX3, in the past named "Fairfield County's Best Alternative Band" from the Fairfield Weekly Reader's Poll because of their strong, high quality ORIGINAL rock/alt rock songs and exciting performances, has a rich history of glowing press articles and commercial radio air play. 

After a multi-year hiatus, ZX3 re-formed in 2023 with some of the original members and some new members, and has been back in action with 6 talented stage-experienced musicians. 

Since that time ZX3 has also had the good fortune to be working with an industry veteran manager who believes they have what it takes to be a success in the music business. Collectively they have made significant contributions to the band's strong song catalogue and upward trajectory.

On the recording front,  ZX3 has polished, re-recorded, and re-released some of their strongest material to let music fans know they are back. Additionally, ZX3  has been in the process of recording fresh originals in anticipation of a fourth album release. 

On the performance front, ZX3 has been reconnecting  with their former fans and finding new ones with every performance they do, with a mix of their originals and cover tunes. At present the band is having really great success at Porchfests, Festivals, and other Music Venues and definitely having more fun this time around!

ZX3’s Career highlights include:

3 Hit-Filled Albums “Break the Chains”, “Rise Up”, and “Why”
