• Track Listing

Following their highly acclaimed single 'Ride Hard Ride Free' the undisputed kings of balls-out rock'n'roll ZEKE have a new 7' entitled 'Snake Eyes' slated for October 4th, 2024ZEKE is a punk rock and hardcore institution, forming in 1992 in Seattle and still going strong. They are still doing what they do best, loud fast and heavy punk rock with a hint of blues. You can say that they were punked up Motörhead but they brought a certain punk rock and hardcore element to the genre that many bands after them picked up on. RPM Online wrote, "Zeke really are like no other band in the world right now" and that "It's not fast, it's f***ing hypersonic hardcore", while Maximum Volume highly recommends "... they are the kings of the underground." Vive le Rock in UK is pleased "the quartet will be giving Brexit the finger." and also Ox Fanzine from Germany confirmed, "they are in top form, just as we celebrated them back in 1996 for Super Sound Racing." With original members Blind Marky Felchtone (vocals and guitar) and Donny Paycheck (drums) along with Jason Freeman (bass) and Jeff Hiatt (guitar), 'Snake Eyes' is as uncompromising as ever, with a furious whirlwind rhythm the foundation for a tidal wave of fast guitars. Feltchtone's serrated knife vocal might be even more toxic than two decades ago. 'Snake Eyes' slows down the punk speed a bit in favor of a high-octane rock affair that, like Hellacopters, comes across as played at the wrong speed. On the flipside you will find pure intensity with 'The Knife' and you can imagine ZEKE driving one through the night doing whatever they are doing in the back and once it's finished you feel dazed and confused. Like one of those masochists who likes pain you want to put it on again too. The tracks are not available on streaming platforms.
