Recipients of the “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards 2025, ZSG are best known for their explosive live shows and their signature blend of 70s classic blues rock and modern alternative influences. Over the past few years, the Kent-based trio have steadily built a loyal following who are fans of blistering, raw-to-the-bone live shows. Their exciting sound combines classic British R&B with punk energy, outstanding musicianship, and pure dynamite.
Frontman, guitarist Zac Schulze, is a world-class shredder, playing with precision, speed, and passion, but the focus of the trio isn’t just his solos. The Zac Schulze Gang is an undeniable gang, a group unified by a like-minded sensibility that adds an electrifying charge to their rock’n’roll. Zac Schulze rides the thunder generated by the rhythm section of his drummer brother Ben Schulze and bassist Ant Greenwell. The trio create a massive roar, all without losing sight of their songs.
The blend of melody and muscle gives ‘Straight To It‘ a visceral kick. Branching away from the blues that provided the trio their initial inspiration, The Zac Schulze Gang opens the album with ‘The Rocker‘, whose breathless hooks almost feel like a rallying call, and sustain that energy through the blitzkrieg rush of ‘High Roller‘. This hard edge is complemented by the bright power-pop of ‘Angeline‘ and ‘Betterland‘, an alt-rock anthem that soars toward the skies.
The Zac Schulze Gang’s sound and work ethic harks back to the much-loved live dynamic and relentless touring schedules of 70s icons including Rory Gallagher and Dr Feelgood. Their unique sound also embodies elements of heritage classic rock acts like AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, while giving a nod to contemporary influences like Turnstile, Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age.
The Gang have made lasting impressions at esteemed festivals including Eric Clapton’s Crossroads in LA, Planet Rock’s Winter End in 2023 and Fairport’s Cropredy Festival, and the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Ballyshannon where the band first exploded onto the scene.
Zac Schulze won Emerging Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2024 and followed this by winning Young Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2025. With sold out shows in Netherlands, Germany, and London’s legendary 100 Club, this power-driven trio are THE band to watch.
