This song is an anthem for introverts who want to break free. Are you a Zero, a "crime of love", born with no purpose in life? Or can you "climb high up" by putting your leather on, shaking it like a ladder to the sun and breaking free to live your life to the absolute fullest? It's crazy how the coolest band on earth can relate and cater to all of us weirdos so perfectly. Love this band so much.

She is MAGNETIC! 😍😍I get a little Blondie vibe from the band as well.

[@salmakadiri2349]

That's a real woman.A real artist. Great band.

[@lequinntessential]

This is the song that defined the band for me - breathtaking surges of energy, remarkable vocals from Karen that are full of personality, infectious refrains, sublime sonic texture and sick instrumentals. Nothing else that they have released so far, even the recent releases, comes remotely close to this masterpiece. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they come up with something like this in the future.

[@db3crashcoursecinema]

One of the best groups to come out of NYC in a llooonnnggg time.I remember when back in 2001,THE STROKES brought in that classic Rock sound,and right along with it came The YEAH,YEAH,YEAHS,INTERPOL,THE WALKMEN,and too many cool bands to name.I started buying records again because of this group,and others.YYY to the best.

[@lmaka1]

Me too. It was a great time for the NYC Indie scene.

[@db3crashcoursecinema]

RaisingAbel Hey Abel,you know it was.Ha,ha.Back then you could at least afford to see as many bands as possible in Brooklyn.Although you have the DAPTONE ,FOOL'S GOLD and others,I think it all ended with THE RAPTURE, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM as far as were real music was headed.Today you have FUN,but it's too POP now.And NYC is too expensive to see bands today,unless you go to the SummerStage concerts,today.

Yeah,Justin Cardenas..I haven't been collecting new stuff until this band and others came out.There Vinyl collectors themselves and they know about that Old School Rock that was the very best.I love that!!!.Head to My Channel and check out my clips,because I know your gonna love some surprises I have in store.It will be worth it.Just go to ''DAVID RADICALS CINEMA ART''.Peace.

Literally don't remember anybody telling me about them, maybe I had a distant memory of hearing her voice on the radio in 2009 but that's it. This band is amazing, the vibes of the city are strong here. The only thing I like about living in a big city is that music like this reminds me of it, idk how to explained it.

[@zilmanar]

This video is great. It actually compliments and adds to the song; the transcendence of the grey, every day world by the fantasy inherent in the music, the self-depreciating humor of the punk style, self referential understanding of the protagonist as she sings to an audience that isn't there, while the real world goes on drably about her, the "you're a zero" acceptance of non-conformity with humor. This is punk, new wave.. it reminds me of my youth in the 80s. Just beautiful.
