Negative Zen: The Wickyards - Wick-O-Ween

Formed in 2022, the band emerged from the Northeast Ohio DIY scene and quickly built momentum through many live shows. The band has made a strong impact on their local scene, playing consistently and previously breaking the all-time attendance record at The Wickyards. Beyond their hometown, Negative Zen has shared the stage with national acts including Fuel, Flaw, and Ultra Q. Negative Zen has also completed a multi-city tour with stops across Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and the Midwest. Currently, the band is in the studio writing new material while continuing to play shows and expand into new markets. “It was cool to gain people’s respect in a sense. We’re going to all these new places where no one knows us — you have to draw their attention toward you.”
