Zebrahead - Walk The Plank Album Review

By Sophie Brannon in Music Reviews on 14 October 2015

Zebrahead are veterans of the pop-punk scene and they just don't seem to tire with age. With their twelfth full-length album release 'Walk The Plank', the band show how they can still create music that is fresh and full of life.

The album begins with 'Who Brings A Knife To A Gun Fight' which promises a roaring album that is full of energy and that's exactly what this track brings. It is intense, and the thundering guitar riffs show how the band have moved towards heavier punk - an apt risk for the band that pays off. The repetitive lyrics such as 'we want to party, party' make the listener just want to rock out.

This trend is continued throughout the album, and 'Headrush' is another wild track. With rapcore elements that start the song off and even more resounding guitar riffs throughout the song, you can't help but stamp your feet. It is punchy and contains a combination of elements which showcase Zebrahead's true ability to write good music.

Opening their set with 'Forever Stuck In Our Youth' and performing their other hits 'Why Worry', 'Ancient History' and more, they certainly kicked things off with a bang.
