0DFx (also known as Zero Defects or Zero Defex) was an American hardcore punk band.

History

The band was formed in Akron, Ohio, in late 1981 by Tom Seiler of local punk group The Bursting Brains, Mick Hurray of the neo-surf group The Nelsons, and Jim Friend of V-Nervz, another local punk rock group. After assure a few bassists, they appointed Brad Warner, who had been in a new wave group called Mmaxx, through an advertisement in a local rock paper. Warner remained a member of the group until its dissolution.

Guest appearances

0DFx appeared on the Ohio-based punk rock compilation, The New Hope^[1] and on the nationally released P.E.A.C.E./War compilation, which has remained in print since 1983. But they are most notable for their role as a precursor to Brad Warner's book, Hardcore Zen, as well as for Tommy "Strange" Seiler's later bands, the Ragged Bags, Strawman and Songs For Emma.
