British punk quartet Beerzone was formed in mid-1997 by frontman Iain, guitarist Adam, bassist Spike and drummer Bryza. Their debut EP Beer Here Now appeared later that year, followed in 1998 by Life in the Beerzone; a 1999 single, "Gazza Gazza," preceded the release of the group's first full-length effort, They Came, They Saw, They Conquered. Strangle All the Boybands was issued in spring 2001.
