New Fanclub Package!

I'm sure many of you got the new email from them. At the bottom it has a link to a new store and new merch, where I found the New Fan Club Package. This version comes with laminated pass that let's us in for meet and greets**, a new fanclub shirt (the grave one), 3 picks and the newest version of "Phoenix" with Politics and Photographs! Not sure if that has the Japanese tracks as well. Personally I like the old shirt. There's going to be some new merch up for the UK and US stores so check back here to see where they are going to link you in the days to come.



Sorry about the quality, it's the site...it's really shitty.

** PASS DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU WILL MEET THE BAND - BUT IT WILL HELP

Zebrahead Gets A Street Team!

ICON Mes have put together a site in which fans of the band can now join up for the Official Zebrahead Street Team! If you're clueless about what exactly a 'street team' is, it's essentially a group of fans who go and promote a band in their area, whether it be plugging internet sites or handing out leaflets. Essentially the goal is to help raise more awareness of the band in question!

Like all good street teams ICON knows you probably don't wanna be doing this kind of stuff for free, so to entice you in, you are entered to win cool Zebrahead items, including a signed copy of the new album 'Phoenix'.

Click the banner below to join the streetteam and see what all the fuss is about!
