 
Everyone’s favourite pop-punk-rap-rockers
Zebrahaead are back with their tenth studio album
‘Call Your Friends’ which is due for
release on the 13th August, the album is a big
happy chant-a-long party album which also manages
to stay true to the Zebrahead sound that the fans
have come to love and expect over the years.
The album opens with ‘Sirens’ a song
which is big fun and witty with vocalist Matty
Lewis spelling out “Fuck You” before
Ali Tabatabaee comes in shouting “Fuck off
and die" within the opening seconds of the
song, the song flows for just over 3 minutes and
it is a bouncy affair from start to finish and
the guitars have seriously been turned up a few
notches from previous Zebrahead material.
‘I’m Just Here For The Free Beer’
is a song which all Zebrahead fans can relate
to and one that is bound to cause fun in the mosh
pit with thousands of fans jumping around in a
drunken state whilst trying not to spill their
beer. Whilst ‘With Friends Like These, Who
Needs Herpes’ is written proof that Zebrahead
are still as immature as ever and are never going
to grow up and that’s a good thing as Zebrahead
are all about having fun and that is exactly what
they have been doing for the past 15 years.
The album title track ‘Call Your Friends’
is the lead single to be taken from the album
and it is a blast from start to finish, the song
features the typical Zebrahead theme about drinking
and having fun at a party, the lyrics have been
written with fun in mind and the overall feel
of the song leaves you wanting to head to Vegas,
Ibiza or any other party capital with your friends
to get seriously smashed whilst chanting the words
from this song at the top of your voice.
‘Murder On The Airwaves’ is easily
one of the strongest tracks on the album it just
runs at a fast paced nature from start to finish
and the way the vocals are executed by Matty Lewis
and Ali Tabatabaee are just fantastic and the
guitar solo and drum beats towards the end of
the song really show off what talented musicians
Zebrahead are.
Lyrically ‘Public Enemy Number One’
is fun with Ali Tabatabaee shouting out “It
sucks to be you” and ‘No Matter what
you do’ over and over again whilst Matty
Lewis sings “You’re going down in
history as the number one public enemy”,
musically the song is fast yet aggressive.
Zebrahead have succeeded in keeping true to themselves
and their fans with another 14 track album which
hits all the right spots, the majority of the
album sounds like what you would expect from Zebrahead
but they also manage to throw some surprises in
especially with the hectic sounding ‘Nerd
Armor’, ‘Don’t Believe The Hype’
and ‘Last Call’ which all sound like
Zebrahead have some aggression to shake off.
4/5
