Ground Zero is an original rock band from Toledo, Ohio making memorable new music that combines alternative, indie, and pop/rock sounds and a genuine message of hope into something you haven’t heard before. Comprised of Shawn Rosenbalm on bass and vocals, Kyle Spinale on drums, and Dan Kaiser on guitar, Ground Zero blends live instruments and electronic production with a unique genre-hopping approach that is instantly engaging and unforgettable. The band’s current single, “Going Out of Time,” makes a perfect introduction to Ground Zero’s world and is available online right now.

Shawn, Kyle, and Dan are longtime friends who came up playing in local punk bands. Some hard life circumstances got in the way of making music and they didn’t play for 5 years. Kyle and Shawn began recording again in 2019 and brought Dan in to help with writing songs. Their musical rebirth is the source of the message in their work. “We make music because we want to show people that you can always turn your life around, no matter the circumstances"


Ground Zero has been likened to Weezer, Incubus, Turnover, and Sum 41 but simple comparisons only go so far. These three musicians have walked uncommon paths to get to this project and it shows in what they create. “We'd like people to know that life goes on. You gotta push through and strive to be a better person.” These are mentally tough young men who aren’t easily discouraged and who are ready to make their mark on the music industry. Listeners seeking innovative modern rock with a message worth hearing need to discover Ground Zero today.
