Life Sucks from Sorry Mom by ZEBRA

Sorry Mom is a lot like Zebra itself, to the point and what you see is what you get. Sorry Mom is about all the things that we have done to annoy, disappoint … and every now and then surprise our mothers (and how we can’t say sorry enough)!

Sorry Mom is Afro Folk Punk with a tongue-in-cheek sound, that draws inspiration from bands and artists such as Freshly Ground, Fokofpolisiekar, Kendrick Lamar and Hamilton the Musical. This album really explains us as a band, and how at the end of the day, we owe it to our mothers to say sorry (since everyone lets down their mom’s at least once in their life).

The songs on this album vary from living your best life, to a week in the life of a band member. For the first time ever, we recorded a slow song that was never planned, but it represents the helplessness of lockdown.

Like Siphe (aka “The Captain”) said, “Zebra has always been about having good times and relatability. With this album nothing has changed, except the fact that the babelas hits harder, and that we are one step closer to finding our voice in a way that people would listen to.”

This album also focused a lot more on the musical side, playing new rhythms and cords which pushed boundaries that unlocked something new in each musician.

So once again … Sorry Mom, but Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the show!

ZEBRA is a Pretoria-based band, who is self-described as the "wayward love-child of comedic rock and indie music"!

The "Herd", as they’re so affectionately known, weave a fantastic story with their original songs and catchy lyrics, all the while making everyone in the house dance.
