A song about a fat Catholic woman on a subway train.

An instrumental jam in C#minor that makes healthy use of the wah pedal.

A song that used to be too true. Now, only pretty true.

Another song born from a jam a few years back. Reaches levels of lyric stupidity that is enough to make someone ashamed.

Albums
Zehbrah is a rock band consisting of cousins Nick Fane (guitars, bass, vocals) and Ryan Fane (drums, production), formed in 2008. An amalgamation between blues rock and early heavy metal (with just a pinch of punk, funk and grunge/alternative thrown in for spice), they play songs loud and fast and with no regrets. With lyrics that range from goofy rambling, to political pondering, to dark introspection and just a little bit of eerie caricature, their sound is constantly ebbing and flowing, and their moods are no less than schizophrenic. But hey, to be good, you gotta be a little crazy, eh?Band/artist history
Ryan started playing on the drums something like 4 years ago, just around the time that Nick started playing bass. After we had developed a little confidence, we started jamming together, going under the name, The "That's Crunchy!"s (still a great name). As time went on and we became better, more versatile and more confident, 1-hour jam sessions became 2-hour jam sessions, became 3-hour jam sessions. Eventually, we started recording our work, most of it improvised on the spot. After recording two full albums of experimenting (they sounded baaaaad), INick started working on guitar. Eventually, we had found that through jamming, we had come up with some pretty tasty songs, worthy of a real recording effort. So became the album above, and the band, now called Zehbrah, has been shelved until the day that both Ryan and Nick migrate to the innermost depths of Chicago, IL (both as students of Columbia College Chicago, if all goes as planned), and they can don their stripes proudly, maybe with another band member or three, to truly begin their unholy quest!Have you performed in front of an audience?Not yet. Being a 2-man group, we don't have the means as of now, but when the starts finally align and Ryan and I are in close proximity once more (I'm at college, he may be going to the same college as me in a years time), we may finally get around to finding a guitarist and kicking off with a bang!
Your musical influences
Both members are big Rush fans, and can probably trace their interest in music back to this great band. Also heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Primus and the like.What equipment do you use?
Ryan has a ddrum 5-piece with Paiste cymbals, specs unknown as of now. Nick used an Ibanez Soundgear bass for the recording of above album, but has since acquired a very tasty Warwick Fortress Flashback, colored a very sexy red. We use a computer interface, specs unknown as of now, with a ton of Shure SM-57s as well as a few other more specific-function mic's. For guitars, Ryan has a Kramer Strat knockoff, as well as a Ltd. Les Paul knockoff, both of which were used in the album. We like knockoffs. It feels good in our wallet. Amplification supplied by Peavey and Behringer.Anything else?
If you like what you hear, SAY IT! If you don't, SAY IT LOUDER. We love criticism. If you really like what you hear, SPREAD THE WORD. We'd love more listeners, you know. It's a pretty big thing for us.Contact

Okay, this is my first actual review, so bear with me. Obviously the vocals and lyrics don't apply to instrumentals.
First off, Really great bass playing. The melodies in it are just stunning and very catchy. The lead guitar, although less fond of, was really sweet, too. I believe the song would have been just fine with just the bass and drums playing. The drums were pretty nice too. I have really been getting a thing for bass driven songs lately too, and this one is going on my list of the ones to listen to. Definitely favorited. The production was fairly decent too. I like the sort of 'raw' feeling to it, that just gives it that nice organic feel. This song makes me want to try a second bass driven song. I actually have made a bass driven song but it's not on my Soundclick, it's on my youtube and if you want a listen just tell me. Overall, it's a 5/5 because I just plain love it. Keep up the good work, man.
