Remy Zero这支乐队的中文名叫“雷米零度线合唱团”，Remy Zero是由一对兄弟Cinjun Tate(主唱)、Shelby Tate(吉他手)和另外三个好友组成来自阿拉巴马州的另类摇滚团。很难正确界定Remy Zero的音乐类型，应该说他们是个有趣的乐团，每张专辑，每一首歌都可以找到不同的前辈的影子，96年的同名专辑走的是像Sonic Youth 、My Bloody Valentine类Post-Punk路线，98年的《Villa Elaine》有Radiohead的味道，挺好听的，所以Radiohead和Manic Street Preachers到美国开演唱会都找他们暖常 by Michael SuttonBirmingham, AL-based Remy Zero dared to be moody and poetic when most American alternative rock had become overly aggressive and juvenile. Consisting of childhood friends Cinjun Tate (vocals, guitar), Cedric Lemoyne (bass), Jeffrey Cain (guitar), Shelby Tate (guitar, keyboards), and Gregory Slay (drums), Remy Zero was merely a group of schoolboys recording homemade tapes. In the mid-90s, the band sent a demo to community radio station KCRW in Santa Monica, CA. It attracted the attention of Geffen Records, and the label eventually signed the group. In 1996, Remy Zero released its self-titled debut. The album was virtually unnoticed, but the bands 1998 follow-up, Villa Elaine, arrived with the Next Big Thing label as the group was thought of, mainly by its publicists, as a young U2 or Radiohead. The soaring Prophecy was a dead ringer for Radiohead, especially with its emotionally unrestrained vocals; however, many critics felt that the bandmembers were not able to reach the creative peaks of their idols on Villa Elaine. Prophecy landed on modern-rock radio just when the format was banishing melodic, 80s-influenced alternative pop from its airwaves in favor of rap-metal and mall-ready punk. Remy Zero simply didnt fit in. The group vanished from the scene until 2001, when it recorded The Golden Hum. First single Save Me — recalling the toe-tapping anthems of the Alarm with a Radiohead makeover — became the theme song of the TV drama Smallville later that year.
