"If you like This is Spinal Tap you will love this show. The difference is this is a REAL band - ZO2 - and you should check out their CDs. The show depicts their real life with a bit of improvising and lots of humor. As any musician knows stardom and being discovered does not come easy. There are many side-jobs just to pay the bills and there is a ton of schmoozing to make the right connections.
All of the guest stars hilariously play themselves and NYC is a character in itself much like it was on Sex and the City.
Jump on the ZO2 and Z Rock bandwagon or you'll be kicking yourself if you lose out on the fun and great music."

"What happens when a NYC rock band becomes more popular as a kids birthday band than what their real dream is? Tune into Z Rock to find out :)
The show is hilarious with great guest appearances throughout the season. Jay Oakerson (Neil) and Lynne Koplitz (Dina) are hilarious and the Zo2 guys shine through the whole season, bringing their sense of humor and passion for music to the forefront.
It needs to be noted too that David Z, Paulie Z and Joey do make up the real band - Zo2... and seeing them live will convert nearly everyone over to the Z Side. As a fan of Zo2 for nearly 5 years (and Z Rock since the second I heard about it), I believe that anyone who gives the band a real chance will love them. They are great guys and have amazing music. I highly suggest anyone and everyone both watch Z Rock and check out their new CD "Casino Logic"... I doubt you'll be disappointed!"

"I heard of these guys in the summer of 2008 with their song "Isolate" from Ain't It Beautiful. Then, I heard from my buddy they have a show on IFC, but I didn't have that channel. I waited for this to come out on DVD and I immediately bought this...watch it so many times...its funny...its very original...so many guest stars...make the show extra funny...I recommend this for a good laugh...ROCK ON ZO2.."
If this were on HBO or Showtime it would be huge!

"These guys are hilarious, talented, and can actually act. The show is very spinal tappish, which is a great thing. I highly recommend this to all rock n roll fans. Plus their are TONS of hot babes here as well.

"My wife and I caught these guys in Houston, Texas when they opened for KISS. We thought they blew KISS off the stage and stole the whole show. We became instant fans!! I don't know why these guys don't have a recording contract, but if you like to "Rock", check out their music. I was thrilled to find these guys on TV,the show is hilarious. Z02 Rocks as hard as another three man band from Texas with a "Z"!!!"
