Mental Health? Drive Myself Crazy?

'Mental Health' is going to have a music video. It's going to be in a mental institution right? I think we all know it's just a tribute to N*sync's 1996 smash hit 'Thinking Of You (Drive Myself Crazy)'. Can't wait to see it guys!

Tidbits Of Info From MySpace!

Zebrahead have added a new blog entry to their MySpace blog containing some updates and bits of new info! The blog entry in question can be viewed in full here.

First key thing to note is that a short preview of the track "HMP" (opening track to Phoenix) has been to their MySpace Profile Player! Have a listen here! The blog entry mentions that "a new one [preview clip] will be posted every couple days for the next month or so tell the album comes out!" so keep checking the profile.

Finally the entry closes with a tidbit of info about an official site relaunch and upcoming tour dates:

"Some tour announcements coming very soon and a re-launch of the .com site on its way ASAP!"

Stay tuned!

Zebrahead Porter Bag Campaign!

Sony Japan has teamed up with Japanese bag make Porter for a special Zebrahead Campaign that will take place between July 8th and September 1st 2008!

Between these dates anyone who buys 2 of the following products from Sony Japan's store will receive a limited edition Zebrahead Porter bag:

Phoenix
Phoenix Limited Edition (w/ Be@rbrick)
Waste Of Mind (Low Price Reissue)
Playmate Of The Year (Low Price Reissue)
MFZB (Low Price Reissue)
Broadcast To The World
Broadcast To The World: The F*#king DVD
Waste Of MFZB

As with Be@rbricks, Porter produce their items in limited quantities which are never re-released therefore it is already expected that these bags will become a collector's item very quickly. Unfortunately this campaign is only available to Japanese residents, as Sony's store does not accept international orders! So anyone desperately wanting a bag had better hope for another way of obtaining one! Any additional follow up news on the bag will be posted here on PFH, so stay tuned!

Zebrahead Be@rbrick Up Close!

Although seen from a distance already thanks to the offices at Sony Music Japan, a picture of the much talked about Zebrahead Be@rbrick has made its way online!

As previously mentioned the bear is limited to a total of 3000 units and is exclusively available with Zebrahead's limited edition of their new album "Phoenix" (limited edition is strictly limited to 3000 copies). The bears, along with the limited edition albums, were sold at a first come first served basis via numerous Japanese online stores where consumers could pre-order the album for 4200 Yen (roughly double the price of a standard CD). Other known details are that the bear stands 70mm tall and has an official Be@rbrick Number of "000ZH". Check out more pictures below!


Here's hoping for a "hands on" article with the bear sometime in the future! Big thanks to Dale at MFZB.com for finding these pictures!

Kerrang! Review Download Performance!

The new issue of Kerrang! Magazine features a short review of Zebrahead's recent performance at Download Festival in which the guys have been awarded 'KKK' (3/5). You can read the full review below:

"The supposedly unenviable opening slot on the Tuborg is lapped up by Zebrahead (KKK) who make the best of a still-filling fetival by bouncing out 30 minutes of pop-punk giddiness, rap dude Ali Tabatabaee sprinting stage left to right and working a willing crowd well."

Big thanks to Scott from MFZB.com for typing this out for us! May have a scan featuring a picture of Ali for you later on!

New Phoenix Promo Picture!

As well as finally getting round to adding album artwork for both "Phoenix" and "Broadcast To The World: The F*#king DVD", Sony Japan Music Shop has also added a brand new promotional photo of the band fitting the blue sky 'Phoenix' theme. You can check it out in its full glory below!

O.C. Life

The Japan release of The Offspring's newest cd "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace" has a bonus track which Zebrahead already did! O.C. Life! So go to eBay and order the Japan version of this cd!

It was on the Orange County soundtrack back in 2002. Another Offspring song was on that soundtrack but that's besides the point. The Zebrahead song wasn't even really on the cd, it was on some bonus cd that came with the soundtrack. Download is below. What are your thoughts on the cover?
