A hardcore punk band from Indianapolis, Indiana. Members included, Paul Mahern, David "Tufty" Clough, Mark Cutsinger, and Terry Hollywood.

In 1982 they released their first full length album called Vicious Circle. Unfortunately, after the album became a hit, bass player David Clough left and joined Toxic Reasons, a band from Dayton. The band did manage to record a few more tracks but broke up before an album was finished.

Around 1990, Selfless released a 7" single featuring the Zero Boys on one side and Toxic Reasons on the other. The Zero Boys then reformed with a new bass player and guitarist and recorded two further albums, Make It Stop (released on Germany's Bitzcore label in 1992) and The Heimlich Maneuver (released on Skyclad in 1993.)
In the last couple of years, the band has reunited for the occasional show, such as one of a series of shows at CBGB's designed to raise money to help keep the club open.
Paul Mahern went on to form the Power pop band the Datura Seeds and has since become a producer.

Aug 11 Word of the Day
A phrase to describe someone who is cognitively degenerating. Synonym of "going off the deep end". Can have varying degrees of severity.

Reference to the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. The line "and the worms ate into his brain" makes no sense in an otherwise linear and literal narration throughout the lyrics.
"My boyfriend has a total case of brain worms. He told me the cat was bugged so the Feds could listen in on us having sex..."

or

"You totally stumbled over that entire sentence. Can't speak English all of a sudden? What, do you have brain worms?"
