Zero 7: Zero Tolerant
Dan Gennoe, 7, 2 May 2001
HENRY BINNS & SAM HARDAKER'S FIRST TWO EPS PEGGED THEM AS THE BRITISH AIR. THEY WERE JUST THE TIP OF A VERY ETHEREAL ICEBERG. THEIR DEBUT LONG-PLAYER IS DESTINED TO BE THE SOUNDTRACK TO THIS YEAR'S LOVE, LOSS AND HEART-ACHE, THEY JUST DON'T DON'T KNOW IT YET. DAN GENNOE TRIES TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THEIR MAGIC, WHILE ZERO 7 GET VERY EMBARRASSED.
