“Sweet mother of God, Zebrahead (*****), you NEVER fail to put on a good show and just blow my mind.”

Dead Press
“Its latest album, Get Nice!, which dropped in August, is littered with good-time vibes.”
—
KELLI SKYE FADROSKI, Orange County Register
“Pop punks not dead…that’s what New Found Glory stated on their new release Radiosurgery and with the likes of NFG, Zebrahead, Blink 182 and Bowling For Soup all releasing new albums this year, 2011 is the year the old school hit back hard!”
—
Scott Smith, May The Rock Be With You
“This album will get my vote for Punk Album of the Year. I would also add this one to the list of nominees for Rock Album of the Year as well. It is just that good, both in song writing and lyrics. It is great when you take something that can be serious and fun at the same time, and at the end of the day you’re walking away with a huge smile on your face. ”

“If you want to be bored senseless with wishy-washy dull indie lullabies, ‘Get Nice!’ is not for you. However, if you want to feel like a can of fizzy Monster energy on a scooter jumping up and down mountains of delight, get ‘Get Nice!’ now.”
—
Black Velvet Zine
“They're right up there with the NEW FOUND GLORY's and SUM 41’s of this world, this album solidifies that. As mentioned earlier, their hardcore fans will lap this up without question. The radio friendliness of Get Nice! should also ensure that a larger more mainstream audience will be reached. It's a fun album that would appeal to a broad range of music fans.”

Sludge Factory
“Já myslím, že pánové, kterým už dávno není dvacet, nám dokázali, že nejspíše nestárnou a stále jsou schopni natočit líbivé a energické album, jež dá vzpomenout na staré dobré časy kolem desky MFZB z roku 2003.

“With their influence present in so many up-and-coming bands such as Set Your Goals and Fireworks, ZEBRAHEAD are definitely modern day pioneers of pop-punk.”
—
Bring The Noise UK
“Im Grunde geht es aber die ganze Zeit um Sonne, Party, Mädels und Spaß, verpackt in ein Gewand aus zuckersüßem und hochgradig Ohrwurm-haltigen Power-Pop, gelegentliches prollig-sympathisches Gerappe inklusive”
—
UNCLESALLY'S
“Ansonsten kann man zu der Platte sagen: Never change a winning team. Besondere Ausflüge in neue Richtungen wird man auf Get Nice! nicht umbedingt finden. Aber warum auch? Jeder Zebrahead-Fan wird seinen Spaß an der Platte haben.”
—
ShoutedFM
“Por suerte nos quedan discos como éste, y que sean publicados en medio de la que está cayendo en pleno 2011 (musicalmente hablando) nos produce la misma sensación que debe sentirse al toparse con un oasis en medio del desierto. Más que nunca, muy recomendable.”

“Get Nice " est assurément mon album favori de 2011, un de ceux que je m’en vais écouter en boucle ”
—
M@x Born, UltraRock
“Zebrahead haben den rebellischen Geist der Beastie Boys, rocken mit dem jugendlichen Leichtsinn von Blink 182 und sind so tight, wie die schweißnassen Klamotten nach einem Konzert selbiger Band.”
—
Christina Berkele, Get Addicted
“Zebrahead have gone to the effort of not only filling this release with your usual popular fare, but have also made a point of writing some more technical songs”
—
Big Cheese Magazine
“Nearly fifteen years on, the Californian pop-punk band Zebrahead is still producing albums with the latest, 'Get Nice' being released this summer; filled with the fun unique sounds that make Zebrahead, well erm... Zebrahead. ”
—
Sound Sphere Mag
“If you don’t love Zebrahead – you should. And Get Nice! proves it.”
—
Ourzone
“Zebrahead have struck a beautiful balance with Get Nice! creating a record which feels endearingly rough around the edges while still feeling mature and refined. This record genuinely has no shortcomings at all, as pop-punk records go this is an absolute must.”
—
The Daily Dischord
“If this album proves one thing, it’s that Zebrahead is still in a league of their own, and still going strong.”
—

“it’s great fun as ever and Zebrahead are the masters of what they do......this is fantastic back-to-basics fun that really doesn’t require a dig for deeper meaning.”

“Get Nice! is full of infectious pop-punk tunes, packed with killer riffs and catchy hooks.”
—
Alistair McGeorge, Female First
“In short, I have nothing bad to say about Get Nice! It’s nice. Really, really nice. Get it. And be prepared to sing its tunes years and years from now.”
—
Hobbes Launderville, the new review
“Get Nice!'s feel is one of energy and cheerfulness that, throughout its 49 minutes, will surely put a smile on our faces and lighten up our darkest moods.”
—

“If I hadn’t thought this band were crazy enough already, they then break into a cover of Britney Spears Oops I did it again, which goes down amazingly with the crowd due to the fast pace and rockiness it has been given.”
—
Clink Mag
“By the end of their set this evening, I was converted. Not many bands could ask the entire room to form the shape of a ‘minge’ with their hands to accompany “Playmate Of The Year” and have them shout “Woo, minge!” in the interludes of the song.”
—

“It’s very easy to enjoy what they’re doing without being some sort of expert and their show is very entertaining.”
—
Banana Town
“The band are consistent in their performances and when you buy a ticket to a Zebrahead show you are guaranteed a good time, especially if you get right in the crowd and take part.”

Push To Fire
“these pop/punk/rap/rockers obviously know how to engage a crowd, and immediately had the whole room going wild.”
—
Gig Junkies
“they were exciting, energetic and offered some killer guitar and rap vocals (something you wouldn’t expect to say in the same sentence) which made the evening a unique experience. Add to the fact the crowd loved every second then its hard not to have fun when everyone else is, Zebrahead are welcome back ”
—
Pit Junky
“Its not often you see people at a gig dancing like they were in a club, but during this song, every single member of the crowd was dancing feverishly, and energy poured back towards the band, who flicked it straight back.”
—
Gig Ape
“...Zebrahead still continue to deliver fantastic high-energy live shows and should be nearing the top of your list of 'must-see' bands. ”

“Their popularity is no secret, gaining almost as much attention from the crowd as tonight's headliners; Less Than Jake.”

“Zebrahead lift the professionalism up a notch or two. You can immediately tell these Californians have been doing this for a while. ”
—
Black Velvet Mag
"Say what you like about ZEBRAHEAD but they know how to put on a show. Their intensive mix of punk, hip hop and metal is infectious and their fine cover of Britney's 'Oops I Did It Again whips up the first of a number of circle pits.
—
BIG CHEESE MAGAZINE
"The perennially underrated, utterly infectious ZEBRAHEAD are impossible to dislike......their control over their devoted following is impressive."

—
Guestlist Mag
“PHOENIX is danceable and should be in everyone's CD collection, they mix rock and some hip hop aspects. ZEBRAHEAD has about a half a dozen albums and I think this is one of the best.”
—
East Coast Romper
“Songs such as als ‘Hell Yeah!’, ‘Mental Health’, and ‘Ignite’ are guaranteed (festival) hits.”
—
Gothtronic
“'Death by Disco' and 'Hell Yeah!' are anthems in waiting and perfect for that hot summer's day. If you're looking for that good time party album you've just found it.”

“Zebrahead is pure party energy”
—
Metal Hammer
“These 16 hyper-melodic Punkrock-hymns are mixed up through snappy Ska-elements (‘Just The Tip’) and dynamic Rap-parts (‘All For None And None For All’). Only 311 are able to combine those genres so deftly, until now!
Exactly the right ticket for a barbecue, cruising and partying.”
—
ROCK HARD MAG
“At least they aren’t afraid to mix old-fashioned stuff with new stuff to form their, a little bit antiquated but always top-qualitative, sound. Even the first songs remind of Sugar Ray’s ‘Lemonade & Brownies” – unlike that Zebrahead are proficient to play their instruments.”
—
Motox Magazine
“Even the singings in two voices are WORLD CLASS-composed, the riffs are snotty and ease the undeniable “commerce-factor” of this record.”
—
Metal Hammer
“These sunburnt Beach Boys in Bermuda Shorts afford laid-back Melodic-Hardcore with fun-attitude.”
—
EMP Katalog
“All in all an album, easy to digest, which is classified among Green Day, Billy Talent, Blink 182 and Mucky Pub.”
—
EMP Katalog
“The supposedly unenviable opening slot on the Tuborg is lapped up by Zebrahead (KKK) who make the best of a still-filling fetival by bouncing out 30 minutes of pop-punk giddiness, rap dude Ali Tabatabaee sprinting stage left to right and working a willing crowd well.”
—
Kerrang
“There are 16 tracks in all, which means that there will undoubtedly be a little something for everyone -- particularly faithful Zebrahead fans.”

Kreuzer's Korner (The Sequel).
“
As of 2008, Lewis and his Zebrahead compadres are so in the zone on their new album Phoenix, everyone else in the pop punk ranks ought to be on the edge of vomiting with envy.”
—
The Metal Minute
“Phoenix is dangerously addictive no matter your age bracket and it might possibly take the improbable position as the Sgt. Peppers of its ilk. At the very least, this is the feelgood album of the summer...”
—
The Metal Minute
“There is enough on Phoenix to keep the hordes of Zebrahead fans happy for some time – they won’t get tired of these songs and they definitely won’t grow tired of the energy of this band. Phoenix can satisfy both - no problem.”
—
Blog Critics Mag
“
It almost feels like the label ordered the band to write at least 10 hit singles or there would be no release because there are plenty of potential hits lined up on "Phoenix".”
—
Melodic.net
“On Zebrahead’s latest endeavor entitled Phoenix, the Orange County-based band rise from the ashes and deliver a one two punch of hook-filled pop harmonics over a metallic, hardcore punk foundation.
(4 Out of 5)”

“Zebrahead have once again demonstrated their ability to write effective and slick rap-inspired pop punk, bounding with energy and full of hooks.”
—
Big Cheese
“From “Hell Yeah!”, the second track, Zebrahead’s clear potential for dominating both moshpits and charts is clear. This is a compulsive, full-on album of joy, enthusiasm, and great rock music. Not to be missed.”
—
Subba Cultcha
“100% about playing punk rock and pleasing their fans and that’s one of the factors that make Zebrahead such a good band as they are clearly in the music business for the right reasons unlike some money grabbing big shot American bands”

“I challenge anyone to listen to 'Phoenix' and try and find a song within the 16 tracks on the album that doesn’t ooze with fast infectious punk rock energy - rated 4/5”
