zebrahead launch a new era with their explosive single “Burn Burn Burn” and back it with a wide-ranging 2026 tour across North America, Europe, Mexico, and Japan.
Orange County punk-metal veterans zebrahead will release their new song and video, “Burn Burn Burn,” on March 18 as the lead single from their upcoming EP O.
With this track, the band begins a fresh wave of music and visuals while also completing the EP sequence that started with III, continued with II and I, and now ends with O.
From the start, “Burn Burn Burn” hits with force. The song combines aggression, melody, and a driving rhythm that pushes forward without letting up. As a result, it captures the full impact of zebrahead’s signature style, which fuses punk urgency, metallic riffs, hip-hop energy, and hook-heavy intensity. Rather than hold back, the band charges ahead at full speed.
The members themselves frame the song as both chaotic and fun. Ali Tabatabaee describes it as immediate, aggressive, and highly melodic. While drummer Udhus compares its energy to an outrageous collision of extremes. Guitarist Dan Palmer also points to the track’s heaviness, melody, and standout solo.

zebrahead Keeps Pushing Forward
Alongside Tabatabaee, zebrahead’s lineup includes guitarist and vocalist Adrian Estrella, guitarist Dan Palmer, drummer Udhus, and bassist Ben Osmundson. Together, they continue to build on a career that began with the Yellow EP in 1998 and expanded later that year with their major-label debut, Waste of Mind. Over the years, albums such as Playmate of the Year, MFZB, Broadcast to the World, Phoenix, Get Nice, Call Your Friends, Walk the Plank, and Brain Invaders helped establish the band as a lasting force on the international stage.
Live performance has remained central to that legacy. Throughout their career, zebrahead have appeared at major festivals across the United States and around the world, including Reading and Leeds, 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. In other words, the stage continues to be where the band feels most at home.
Now, with O set to complete their EP arc, zebrahead show no interest in slowing down. Instead of looking backward, they channel everything they have built into another aggressive and energized release cycle. Their message remains clear: as long as fans keep showing up and listening, zebrahead will keep touring, recording, and pushing forward.
