Formed in 2013,
Circa Zero is the project of legendary
Police guitarist
Andy Summers and singer/songwriter
Rob Giles from
the Rescues. The two musicians met after
Summers attended a
Rescues concert in L.A. and invited
Giles over to his Venice studio to jam. Pleased by the results, the two began writing songs together with
Summers on guitar and
Giles covering vocals, bass, and drums. The punchy, streamlined rock songs that resulted from these sessions take cues from both artists' former bands while stretching out into new territories for both. Co-produced and co-written by both
Summers and
Giles, their debut album,
Circus Hero, was released by 429 Records in March 2014. ~ Timothy Monger
