Southern California punk-metal mainstays zebrahead have released new single 'Burn Burn Burn', the first glimpse of their forthcoming EP O. The track kicks off a new wave of music and visuals leading up to the EP’s release, completing the band’s run of EPs — III, II, I, and now O.

"'Burn, Burn, Burn' is straight energy from the jump,” shares vocalist/rapper Ali Tabatabaee. “It’s aggressive but still super melodic, and it’s got this bounce to it that just makes you want to move."
zebrahead have spent decades refining a high-impact blend of melody, metallic riffage, punk urgency, and hip-hop flow. 'Burn Burn Burn' captures the band at full throttle.
Drummer Ed Udhus states: "'Burn Burn Burn' is our version of Slayer and Taylor Swift doing Redbull vodka shots at the pool on Spring Break till 6AM." Guitarist Dan Palmer adds: "'Burn, Burn, Burn' is a slammer of a song that kicks off the release of a new batch of songs! It’s heavy, melodic, and it has one of the shreddiest solos I’ve ever done! I’m really proud of this one and it’ll get the headbangers banging away!"
In addition to Tabatabaee, Palmer, and Udhus, zebrahead features vocalist/guitarist Adrian Estrella and bass player Ben Osmundson. Together, they continue to expand a legacy that began with the Yellow EP on Dr. Dream in 1998, followed by their major-label debut Waste of Mind on Columbia Records later that year. Subsequent releases including Playmate of the Year, MFZB, Broadcast to the World, Phoenix, Get Nice, Call Your Friends, and Walk the Plank solidified their international presence, while 2019’s Brain Invaders reaffirmed their staying power.
The stage remains their natural habitat with a resume that includes multiple appearances at major US and international festivals including Reading and Leeds Festivals, Download Festival, Rock am Ring, Summer Sonic, Fuji Rock Festival, Slam Dunk Festival, Pukkelpop, Nova Rock Festival, Vans Warped Tour, and When We Were Young.
With O completing the EP arc with a steady rollout of new material underway, zebrahead aren’t revisiting their past they’re weaponising it. "As long as people come out to shows and listen, we will continue to tour the world and release music," says bassist Ben Osmundson.
