About this album

Sound: "Energetic punk rock riffs collide with playful lyrics and catchy hooks in a rollercoaster of sound."

Where they were

Released in 2008, 'Get Nice!' is Zebrahead's sixth studio album, following the more commercially successful 'Broadcast to the World' from 2004. At this point, the band was solidifying their place in the punk rock scene after years of evolving their sound and lineup, embracing a more mainstream approach while retaining their signature humor.

Why it matters

This album showcased Zebrahead's ability to blend punk rock with elements of alternative rock, contributing to their presence in the pop-punk revival of the late 2000s. While it did not achieve significant chart success, it received positive reviews for its energetic tracks and clever lyrics, helping to maintain the band's dedicated fanbase.
