La Habra, CA's zebrahead are gearing up to unleash a new offering of explosive pop/rock-punk, 'Get Nice,' on September 27th (and in Europe and Japan in late August).
And although this is the group's 11th release overall, it will be their first to be released via the Niji Entertainment Group for North and South America. Two videos have already been filmed (one for the title track and one for the song "Ricky Bobby"), both of which can be viewed via these links:

zebrahead is comprised of vocalist/rapper Ali Tabatabaee, vocalist/guitarist Matty Lewis, guitarist Greg Bergdorf, bassist Ben Osmundson, and drummer Ed Udhus, and has been rocking since 1996. In the process, zebrahead has sold 1.5 million copies of their albums (800,000 in the USA alone), and even received a Grammy nomination. Additionally, zebrahead has toured around the world since 1996, both headlining clubs and festivals, including the Vans Warped Tour and opening for bands like Green Day and 311.
There is an interesting connection between zebrahead and heavy metal greats Motorhead. When nominations for the 2000 Grammy awards were announced, Motorhead was named among the nominees for Best Metal Performance for a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman." However, upon further review, the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences amended the nomination, adding the So Cal punk outfit zebrahead to share the nod for the "Enter Sandman" cover.
The song can be found on "ECW Extreme Entrances" CD. Both bands share the same management as well.
'Get Nice' was produced by Jason Freese (Jewel, Death by Stereo, and plays with veteran outfit Green Day) and mixed by Andy Carpenter (Dwarves). As with past releases, zebrahead will be touring heavily behind it, including dates in the US, Europe, Japan, and their first-ever visit to Australia. In fact, the album hasn't even been released yet, and the new single, "Get Nice," is in the Top 4 on Japanese Radio and in the Top 10 on the European International Artist Radio Chart!
According to Tabatabaee, 'Get Nice' is the finest zebrahead release yet. "I think this album will definitely win a Nobel Peace Prize, get you a raise, and get your girlfriend pregnant all at the same time. It's that good!"
