I had a dream, not one as influential as Dr Martin Luther King but a dream nonetheless, where I was going to become the ultimate rock star. I was going to record an album where each song was played in a completely different rock genre to the next - a song for punk, a song for metal, a song for indie - and each week I would release another song and it would be number one after number one. Reality landed me back to earth but, even though I haven't achieved it, bands like Zebrahead are naturals at the genre roulette wheel I envisaged.

Zebrahead are yet another band out of Orange County but how they differ is precisely why they are one of my favourite bands. They plug whole albums full of pop-punk, post-hardcore, rap-rock, rap-metal and rap-core with effortless ease. Between 1996-2006 Zebrahead had six solid albums that solely sat in the post-hardcore category and hardcore Zebrahead fans would say that this work was equally as good as the rest. However, with the album Phoenix in 2008, the band decided to see how many genres they could possibly fit into one album. Phoenix is arguably their best album, but since that time they have had a string of successful albums continuing this current trend of genre stuffing and their 12th studio album, Walk The Plank, is no different.

Earlier this year they re-recorded a lot of their older songs pre-2008 and re-released them to the excited outstretched hands of pre-success fans. On the crest of this wave Walk The Plank was released. They have decided to not change a formula that is clearly working and have returned with all your favourite crime fighting genres in the ultimate team, like The Avengers.....but with guitars and drums......so a better version of The Avengers.
