"Zero Defex was formed (late 1981) in Akron Ohio by Tom Seiler of 'The Bursting Brains', Mick Hurray of 'The Nelsons', Jim Friend of 'V-Nervz', and Brad Warner of 'Mmaxx'. After recording two demos and making two compilation appearances (one of which was the International P.E.A.C.E. Benefit double LP), the band broke up in the spring of 1983."
