ZEBRAHEAD RELEASING ‘THE EARLY YEARS REVISITED’ ON APRIL 21 VIA RUDE RECORDS
Beloved Orange County, CA rockers Zebrahead will release “The Early Years - Revisited “ on April 21 via
Rude Records. The full length album features re-recorded versions of all the fan favorites, classic party
anthems that we all know and love including “Playmate Of The Year” and “Falling apart”, plus a bonus track
and one new song. See full track listing below.
Pre-orders are available from today www.smarturl.it/EarlyYearsPreorder, and the band has just released
a video announcement here.
Bassist Ben Osmundson says:
“We're excited for everyone to hear The Early Days - Revisited! It is 11 of the fan favorites from the past rerecorded with Matty singing on them.... and 2 new songs for everyone to check out. It was fun to go back
and re-learn these old songs from the first 3 albums. We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did making
this!”
Co-vocalist Matty Lewis adds: “I'm also excited to release one new song that we have been working on for a
while, as well as a song that wasn't on 'Call Your Friends'. It is a good pre-cursor to our next album, and
hope you enjoy them!”
“It was great to have the early songs recorded with Matty and Dan. The recording process was seamless
because we play a lot of the songs live. I am looking forward to the fans listening to the new versions. I think
they are going to be excited to hear what we have put together” states co-vocalist Ali Tabatabaee.
Formed in 1996, Grammy-nominated Zebrahead has released a total of 10 studio albums and is known for
their eclectic music style that incorporates punk, rap and alternative rock. Over the years the band has
toured with the likes of Less Than Jake, Green Day, Blink -182, MxPx, The Bloodhound Gang, Bowling For
Soup and many more.
About Zebrahead:
Many bands make an entrance into a particular scene, make a statement, and are suddenly yesterday's hasbeens after an album or two. But after a dozen years, half a dozen albums, scores of countries, countless
miles, a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance for their blistering cover of Metallica's “Enter
Sandman” and immeasurable faces rocked, it's not entirely surprising that Orange County-based rock act
Zebrahead have been able to not only maintain a distinct relevancy to the core fan base that grew up with
the act, it's also been able to consistently break new ground and appeal to newer generations of audiences.
“What's strange is that kids are getting younger and younger every time we tour” says Zebrahead vocalist Ali
Tabatabaee “I really don't know where they hear us or where they get our music from, but it truly is inspiring
for us to keep writing and making music to see these kids showing up to the show and being such hardcore
fans. I can't explain it. We're really fortunate”.
So, what's the big secret to such great fortune? Credit the quintet's truly innovative and ingenious meld of
punk, hip-hop and alternative rock, which crosses over musical bounds, not to mention songwriting that's
infallibly infectious. When Zebrahead first broke ground, erupting into the Southern California rock scene in
the mid-'90s, the act was instantly recognized as a pioneer of a hybridized genre that, to this day, has not
only lasted, but continues to flourish both domestically and internationally. And with members Ali Tabatabaee,
Dan Palmer (guitar), Matty Lewis (vocals/guitar), Ben Osmundson (bass) and Ed Udhus (drums) fully
engaged in their craft, Zebrahead's continued drive has no chance of letting down anytime soon.
