Zebrahead spent summer 2006 on the Warped Tour while their new album Broadcast to the World was released in Europe on July 3 through the German based record company SPV. The album which had come out in February of the same year in Japan, went gold in just over a month's time.
Due to Zebrahead's growing popularity in Japan, Matty Lewis and Zebrahead bandmate Ali Tabatabaee were asked by SEGA to record vocals for a new theme song, entitled "His World", which appears in the game Sonic The Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The entire band later recorded an alternate version of the song for the vocal soundtrack.
The rest of 2006 was spent touring Europe and the US as part of the Broadcast To The World Tour.
In March 2007, the band took two months off to begin writing new material for their, currently as of yet, untitled new studio album. The band later returned to Europe in May on a co-healine tour with MxPx and a headline UK tour. From June - July of the same year, Zebrahead toured America, supporting Unwritten Law with the band Bullets and Octane. On completion of the tour, Zebrahead spent more time writing material for their new album which had a planned release date of February, 2008.
Recently, after several of the active users at MFZB.com made it apparent they were in need of update from the band during this 'quiet' period, Zebrahead responded by posting a video update to YouTube which was promised as "the first of many". The video talks about the writing/recording process and has an update on Zebrahead's official fanclub.
October 2007 saw the return of Zebrahead to the UK as part of the annual Get Happy Tour where they shared the stage with Army of Freshmen, The Bloodhound Gang and Bowling For Soup. Zebrahead will be returning to Download 2008 (UK) after their first appearance in 2006. For the rest of 2007 the band continued to write songs for the new album. Demos were recorded and received input from Jason Freese of Green Day fame.
In March 2008 Zebrahead entered the studio and recorded 18 songs for their new album. The first two songs, including "Art Of Breaking Up" were recorded with Howard Benson, while the remaining 16 were recorded with Cameron Webb. Zebrahead released clips giving an insight into the making of the album the same month.
June saw Zebrahead return to the UK and Europe to headline a tour and play certain festival dates including Download, Leeds Slam Dunk Festival and Greenfield Festival. Several new songs from the upcoming album are likely to make their debut appearance in live form.
On May 17th 2008, it was revealed via the band's MySpace tagline that the upcoming album would be entitled "Phoenix". A day later, Zebrahead's fan blog, Postcards From Hell, revealed that the first single from the album would be entitled "Mental Health" and its music video was be directed by Elliot Dillman of Pandaworks.
In August 2010, Zebrahead has confirmed through video updates on their website that they have begun writing a new studio album. In the video, Ali Tabatabaee said that the band intends on entering the studio to record before the end of the year, and it has been mentioned through Twitter that the projected release date is early 2011.

Zebrahead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no looking back
We came to put out the lights
We're not alone tonight
We won't stop.
Gonna crush the day
Take any cheap shot
Thrown our way
Get high on top
Of the world at bay
And we're never coming down, never coming down, never!
So we'll bleed on through and suffer the bruises
Take all the blame but no excuses
First one to blink is the first that loses
So we're never looking down, never looking down, never!
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no looking back
We came to put out the lights
We're not alone tonight
We're Automatic!
It's a heart break,
But it won't be long
Like an earthquake,
We kick it strong
Make your world shake
Cross the line that's drawn
And we're never looking back, never looking back, never!
So we'll lick our wounds, rise from the ashes
Kick down the door and break the latches
Gasoline dreams so we strike with matches
So we're never giving up, never giving up, never!
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no looking back
We came to put out the lights
We're not alone tonight
We're automatic like an addict passin' out on the lawn
When we're chargin' into battle like Genghis Khan
And you're god damn right we'll prove you wrong
This block, this city, is where we belong!
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no going back
We came to join in the fight
We're not alone
We're automatic tonight
There's no looking back
We came to put out the lights
We're not alone tonight
We're automatic tonight!
We're automatic tonight!

I’ve been to a blink concert in 2014 then I saw Zebrahead too. Since then I thought to myself why do I even listen to blink anymore. This band is more than underrated
Jesse Rogalski
Arturo Vazquez They've been touring for over 20 years. There's fantastic bands that only ever managed to put out on album. They've done well.
