Zebrahead, the punk-inspired rock band hailing from Orange County, CA, is gearing up for a massive summer with their upcoming EP 'I'. Zebrahead will be kicking things off with the release of their new track “I Have Mixed Drinks About Feelings” on June 26, alongside an anticipated music video that will soon follow. Just coming back home from Download Festival, these rock stars are already setting their sights on other festivals later this summer like: The Seepogo, Diechrand, Haltpop, Exreme Fest, Wacken Open Air, Brakrock, Punkrock Holiday, and Taubertal…just to name a few.

Kerrang! raves, “In their self-declared third era, Zebrahead have the shininess of a brand-new band, and it’s thrilling to see,”
Since the drop of EP 'II', Zebrahead has been on a relentless global tour circuit, squeezing in studio sessions between shows and promising a slew of new music through 2024. Zebrahead is thrilled to release "I Have Mixed Drinks about Feelings," the first single from their upcoming EP 'I'. This fast-paced, aggressive yet melodically compelling song is bound to have fans singing along to this anthem from the first listen. Crafted by their old pal producer Paul Miner, this killer new track stays true to Zebrahead’s essence but cranks up the guitar heaviness. Ali Tabatabaee and Adrian Estrella trade some playful verses, and there’s a ton of sonic delights sprinkled throughout, giving the whole song a fresh, exciting vibe. Zebrahead’s worldwide community of fans plays a pivotal role, resonating with lyrics like "These are the nights we will remember, with the friends we can’t, friends we can’t forget”!
The band plans to release a new track every 5 weeks, leading up to the full EP release on November 13, 2024, following the success of their III & II EP’s in 2021 and 2023.

“By wetting the appetites of their loyal fan-base, it’s only a matter of time before these road warriors are back at the forefront of the discussion as the 'Comeback Artist of the Year' – Chorus.fm.
Zebrahead remains anchored by vocalist/rapper Ali Tabatabaee, vocalist/guitarist Adrian Estrella, bassist Ben Osmundson, drummer Ed Udhus, and guitarist Dan Palmer. Bassist Osmundson shares, “Super excited for the world to hear 'I Have Mixed Drinks About Feelings.' It’s been a rough few years, and it’s time to cut loose and hopefully have some fun. This song is about finding solace in tough times, reminding us we’re not alone in our struggles.” Drummer Udhus adds, “After hearing this song, you’ll be shaken, not stirred.”
Since their inception, Zebrahead has weathered highs and lows, boasting over 2.5 million album sales, a Grammy nomination, and currently, over 600,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Despite label changes, they’ve maintained a nonstop touring schedule across the globe. (Merch Store https://zebrahead.myshopify.com/)
