Artist: ZEBRAHEAD
Album: BROADCAST TO THE WORLD (CD)

Release date: 2005
Media type: CD

Broadcast to the World is the successor to Zebrahead's critically acclaimed third release, MFZB in 2004. Playmate of the Year, released in 2000 to rave reviews, the album's infectious title track received over 4000 spins on Modern Rock and Rock radio. The editors of OC Weekly (Orange County in California) included the band in their "129 Greatest OC Bands Ever" list"…Playmate of the Year was just as catchy and hummable as anything the Offspring or Lit ever came up with." Meanwhile, its provocative companion video, which co-starred a harem of curvy Playboy playmates and was shot at the Playboy mansion, was steaming up television screens across the country.

After conquering the States, zebrahead tore through Europe with Green Day and played a plethora of festival shows, sharing stages with everyone from The Strokes and Radiohead to Good Charlotte and Stone Temple Pilots. From there, it was off to Japan.

And now, against a big, buoyant backdrop painted by guitarist Greg Bergdorf, drummer Ed Udhus and bassist Ben Osmundson, Lewis and rapper Ali Tabatabaee detail scenarios of betrayal ("Here’s to You"), domestic troubles ("Your New Girlfriend Wears Girlpants") and soured relationships ("Back to Normal"). With new addition to zebrahead Matty Lewis on this album you can tell the band means business.

The band gigged relentlessly in support of the last albums, and toured with a diverse cast of characters, including Less Than Jake, Kottonmouth Kings, 311, Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger. Nothing will change here….A complete summer tour, including festivals, is in planning.

"Every band says this is their best album," says Osmundson. "From front to back, this is no holds barred rock and roll and by far our best album as a band!"
