This week the people demanded it, and we complied! Therefore, we give you “Grave Mistake: ZEBRA Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. This is our celebration of an amazing power trio from New Orleans / Long Island that has been largely forgotten in the pantheon of rock n’ roll. They also happen to be very musically proficient, with a bona fide guitar god in the band that rarely gets the praise he deserves!

This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Captain Content casually mentioned a few weeks ago and our socials lit up like a Christmas tree. While their first album went gold in the US, they have been largely forgotten in the hard rock world today. We think they should be remembered as titans of rock alongside the likes of RUSH and TRIUMPH!

Songs this week include:

1. Zebra - “Tell Me What You Want” from Zebra (1983)
2. Zebra - “As I Said Before” from Zebra (1983)
3. Zebra - “No Tellin’ Lies” from No Tellin’ Lies (1984)
4. Zebra - “Drive Me Crazy” from No Tellin’ Lies (1984)
5. Zebra - “Better Not Call” from 3.V (1986)
6. Zebra - “Wait Until The Summer’s Gone” from Zebra Live (1990)
7. Zebra - “K.K. Is Hiding” from IV (2003)
8. Zebra - “Walk With You” from Live At City Winery (Boston, MA 10/11/25) (2025)
9. Zebra - “Who’s Behind The Door” from Zebra Live (1990)
