Editing Zen Guerrilla (section)

==History==
Zen Guerrilla formed in [[Newark, Delaware]], in the late 1980s. Band members Andy Duvall (drums), Marcus Durant (vocals/harmonica), Carl Horne (bass), Daniel McMullen (keyboard), and Rich Millman (guitar) came together from local bands Marcus Hook, the Gollywogs, Stone Groove, and No Comment.

Their early sound was characterized by psychedelic elements, such as delayed guitars and noise washes played by [[The Sloth]] (before leaving the band in 1991). This unique sound gained a growing local following (their first two color vinyl 45s winning several Philly music awards), while avoiding increased marketability.

Later, the band released their self-titled CD on [[Philadelphia]]-based [[Compulsiv Records]] in 1992 and recorded at the world-famous [[Third Story Recording Studio]] in Walnut Hill with producer/engineer, [[Scott "Turkey Lips" Herzog|Scott Herzog]].<ref>See the liner notes on their records and CD's

Zen Guerrilla relocated to [[San Francisco]] in 1994. Their constant touring increased their exposure, and, combined with their explosive live show, helped to release albums first with [[Alternative Tentacles]] and later [[Subpop|Sub Pop]], which is known for being the original record company of [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]].

The band's version of the song "Empty Heart" was featured in the 2000 [[PlayStation]] game ''[[Grind Session]]''.

The band dissolved sometime around 2003.
