Early Years (96-98):

The band was founded in 1996. The founders include: guitarist JUSTIN MAURIELLO (former member of Once There ) and GREG BERGDORF (former member of 409), bassist BEN OSMUNDSON (former member of 3-Ply) and drummer ED UDHUS (former member of 409). The four's former band shared a practice space, and they found themselves experimenting with merging their different musical styles, and they became friends. After they determined to further develop their music careers, they each left their previous bands and formed ZEBRAHEAD.

The band was deeply influenced by FUGAZI and THE DESCENDENTS, and they found that they were not interested in the local popular SKA-PUNK style. They also incorporated some elements of HIP HOP into their own music, and finally the band added a new member, percussionist ALI TABATABAEE.

Breakthrough (1998-03):
