The group have been together for over a staggering 17 years but it\u2019s quite simple, these guys have still got it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The album certainly feels like a blast from the past, providing simple and fun pop-punk tunes. It will bring you back to those days of rocking out to bands such as Blink-182, Sum 41 and Bowling For Soup. <em>\u2018Call Your Friends\u2019 <\/em>is nothing new, we\u2019ve heard it all before &#8211; but <strong>Zebrahead <\/strong>have made a firm mark to say this is them, and they\u2019re certainly not growing up or changing their style to fit the mainstream.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Fans of <strong>Zebrahead<\/strong> will absolutely adore this latest release, keeping in with their famous fun-filled punk rock sound, yet they have branched out and created heavier rock hits too. The album is bursting with tracks to get those tootsies waggling.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The top classic pop-punk tracks are <em>\u2018With Friends Like These Who Needs Herpes?\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018I\u2019m Just Here For The Free Beer\u2019<\/em> which include the classic racing melody, punchy juvenile lyrics and electrifying rocky riffs. The songs predictably include lyrics such as <em>\u201cI don\u2019t give a fuck what you think about me\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><strong>Zebrahead<\/strong> use typical pop-punk youthful words conveying the meaning of mischief, and choosing to not conform to society and sticking it to \u2018the man\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The other recommended hits are <em>\u2018Born To Lose\u2019, \u2018Automatic\u2019 <\/em>and <em>\u2018Don\u2019t Believe The Hype\u2019<\/em> for the catchy lyrics and punchy sing-along choruses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">The entire record is an entertaining light hearted musical melody which covers the usual male camaraderie bases of beers, parties, and if the cover artwork is anything to go by &#8211; girls with big knockers. Obviously the record is musically excellent, and cleverly infuses pop-punk with rap-rock and throws in some metal for good measure. However you wouldn\u2019t give it another listen after the first play, it\u2019s just good for a humorous listen and to reminisce over those good old days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">3\/5<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">\u2018<em>Call Your Friends\u2019<\/em>\u00a0by <strong>Zebrahead<\/strong> is available now on\u00a0<strong>Rude Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><strong>Zebrahead<\/strong>\u00a0links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zebrahead.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Zebrahead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Zebrahead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Chantelle Kelly (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChantelleKelly3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ChantelleKelly3<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be honest, pop-punk has long gone it\u2019s 1990\u2019s heyday, but old skool American rockers Zebrahead are back with their tenth studio release \u2018Call Your Friends\u2019\u00a0&#8211; a record certain to touch the hearts of those who refuse to let go of their youth.
