Band History Early Days 2003 - 2006 The band originally started as an anime band with 4 members and no vocalist in 2003.. Their first band name was Negative Zero. When Joy(drums) and Jamil(bass) left the band, Aie(bass) and Yhin(vocals) came in and so they got Ariel( drummer) and the band’s name became Zero Percent Off... The band mixed up the anime and western punk genre so they never became any of the visual band in the community during that time.. Their debut gig is on C3Con Battle of the Bands.. The band became unique from others because of its western influence attack on stage not the common J-Rock/Visual style. After that Ariel was replaced by Pedz( drummer).

Now the band found its current name as Unfinished Confessions together with their new drummer (Sonnaqs) and new genre (post emocore to metalcore). They are now more heavier than ever.
