It was formed in 1999 by Koen Buyse (singer and guitarist), Marijn Horemans (drums) and Kristof Vanduren (bass). In 2003, Kristof decided to leave the band. For the summer festival shows, he was replaced by Bas Remans (Millionaire) who also joined the band in the studio for the recordings of the second album.

Although they're mostly known for their more poppy songs, their albums also show some great acoustic and harder rock songs.
They've produced four albums up to now: The Place Where You Will Find Us, One-Armed Bandit, Alien Sweetheart and Crosses.

The album Crosses was released in april 2007. The first single of the album is called Black Hope Shot Down and is a harder rock song again, after the accoustic third album...

In november 2008, they released a new album, called 4.000.000 minutes, after the time the band exists. It bundles all the singles, two new tracks and some b-sides.
The two new tracks were 4 million minutes and forgotten

In 2010, Zornik released the album Statisfaction Kills Desire.

At the moment they're working on their new album Less > More which will be released in October 2012.
This Autumn, the band will play smaller venues, having promised a different concept of concerts we're used to from the band.

King Of The Town
Zornik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the end of Mary Way
There's a crazy girl that says
I'm as different as you see
But I'm allways incomplete
Mary Way
What's this now
Play me around
It's my dream of wonderland

Give me a sound
Did you ever
Read about me and my town
I'm a lowlife middleman
King of the town oh yeah
And the times we spend together
Weren't allways very fine
And you know,
And you know my luck was standing on the line
What's this now
Play me around
It's my dream of wonderland
Give me a sound
Did you ever
Read about me and my town
I'm a lowlife middleman

King of the town oh yeah
'cause I wanted you to know.....
