It all started with the release of the EP Yellow on the indie label Dr. Dream in May 1998, the buzz began and zebrahead signed to major label Columbia to release their full-length debut, Waste of Mind, which appeared later that same year. Playmate of the Year was issued in mid-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 planets biggest alternative stations.
Stupid Fat Americans EP followed only in Japan the next year. Then came the 2003 release of zebrahead’s critically acclaimed MFZB. MFZB had the highest testing alternative song for months running with “Rescue Me”. MFZB also went gold in Japan! The band spent the summer of 2006 on the Vans Warped Tour as Broadcast to the World was released overseas that July through SPV/Sony. The album went gold in Japan in just a month’s time, and the guys
spent fall on dates throughout Europe. In 2008 the band released Phoenix with a warning from Absolute Punk “listen with caution as your face may melt right off of your head”, in 2009 the band released Panty Raid followed by their 2011 release Get Nice and nonstop touring ensued throughout.
