cancel the next 3 weeks of show as I’m on
doctors orders to stay in bed and off my foot
so that I'm able to continue with our touring
schedule when I'm well again. I want to thank
everyone that has come out so far and supported
us, we were having a fantastic time and you guys
have all made it very special. We will be rescheduling

The
Offspring Release A Hammerhead |
|
 |
Zebrahead
Return |
 |
 |
Wednesday 7th
May 2008
Hailing from Orange County, CA. zebrahead -- Ali
Tabatabaee – vocals, Greg Bergdorf –
guitar, Matty Lewis – vocals & guitar,
Ben Osmundson – bass and Ed Udhus –
drums are once again gearing up to make their
presence felt with the group's highly-anticipated
new album with tracks produced by Howard Benson
(Daughtry, Saosin, POD Adema) And Cameron Webb
(Social Distortion, Motorhead, Papa Roach) CD
to hit the street and Internet this summer on
German independent label Steamhammer/SPV in Europe
and the UK.
Excited about their second release for SPV, the
band is revitalized, road-ready and eager to get
the party started. The quintet comes out kicking,
delivering a flurry of pummeling rhythms, clench-fisted
chords and meaty hooks that we have come to expect
from Zebrahead. "I really can't wait to get
out there and play these songs all over the world",
says bassist Ben.
Singer/guitarist Matty Lewis on making the new
album: "Making a record is kinda like having
sex with a woman...sometimes things come easy
and naturally, and everything about it goes smooth...but
sometimes the phone rings, her mom calls or God
forbid, her dad comes home. Sometimes, you finish
too early and you don't put enough time into it,
and sometimes you do it too long and the song
chaffs and hurts a bit. Like a woman, every record
is different, but in the end, you're still having
sex with a woman and you still make a record."
In addition to the new CD the band is already
slated to play Japan’s Summersonic Festival,
UK's Download Festival and Switzerland’s
Greenfield Festival with a full tour of the States
to start in the fall of 2008. "We're going
to go to the U.K. and drink their beer. Then,
we're going to Japan to drink their beer."
says guitarist Greg Bergdorf.
Zebraheads new CD is the successor to the bands
first SPV release "Broadcast to the World",
the follow-up to Zebrahead's critically acclaimed
third release, MFZB. MFZB had the highest testing
alternative radio song for months running with
“Rescue Me”. MFZB also went gold in
Japan! Playmate of the Year, released in 2000
to rave reviews, the album's infectious title
track received over 4000 spins on Modern Rock
and Rock radio, garnering airplay on some of the
world's biggest alternative stations.
