After a 23-year wait, legendary rock band Zebra returns with its highly anticipated fifth studio album, Zebra V. The longtime trio of Randy Jackson (guitar, vocals), Felix Hanemann (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Guy Gelso (drums, vocals) will release 11 new tracks on November 13, marking the band’s first new studio album in more than two decades. Zebra V will be available worldwide on all major streaming platforms, with physical editions available on CD and a limited-edition cassette. Two limited edition vinyl versions – one zebra striped, black & white and a 50th Anniversary gold edition – will be available on December 4. The album is now available for pre-order here:  https://flatironrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/zebra-v. 

From the opening riff of “Dog Day Night” to the string-filled outro of “Eulalie,” Zebra V finds the band sounding as vital and adventurous as ever. Across the 11 new tracks, Zebra draws from the diverse musical influences that have shaped its sound throughout its five-decade career. “The Conqueror Worm,” “All Your Love,” “Love, Sex” and “She’s Waiting For You” showcase different sides of the band, while “Direction,” a longtime live-show favorite finally receives its first-ever studio recording. “I’ll Be There Beside You,” meanwhile, is a classic rock ballad co-written by Zebra with Skid Row’s Dave “Snake” Sabo and Rachel Bolan.

The Zebra V rollout begins with the release of the album’s lead single, “Walk With You.” Co-written by Randy Jackson and KISS’ Paul Stanley, the track captures the signature sound that has earned Zebra a devoted following around the world while showcasing a band that, more than five decades after forming, remains creatively energized.
