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.

Underneath It All
Zebrahead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone more like me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete, but
You see the colors in me like no one else and
Behind your dark glasses
You're, you're somethin' else
(Underneath it all)
You want to love me
(Underneath it all)
I'm really lucky
(Underneath it all)
You're really lovely
You know, some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline, but
Lately you've been tryin' real hard
And givin' me your best, and
You give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I ever had and
When it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad
You're really lovely
(Underneath it all)
You want to love me
(Underneath it all)
I'm really lucky
(Underneath it all)
You're really lovely
So many moons that we have seen
Stumblin' back next to me
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better, better, better
You are my real Prince Charming
Like the heat from the fire
You were always burnin'
Anytime you're around
My body keeps callin'
For your touch
Your kisses and your sweet romancin'
There's another side to you
And it's a human I adore
Aside from your temper
Everything else secure
You're good for me, baby
Of that, I'm a sure
Over and over again
I want more (more, more, more...)
You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be
You're really lovely
Underneath it all
You want to love me
I'm really lucky
(Underneath it all)
You're really lovely
You're really lovely
(Underneath it all)
You want to love me
(Underneath it all)
I'm really lucky
(Underneath it all)
You're really lovely
You're really lovely
(Underneath it all)
You want to love me
(Underneath it all)
I'm really lucky
(Underneath it all)
You're really lovely
The lyrics of Zebrahead’s song “Underneath It All” are about the depths of a relationship and the ways in which love can transform a person. The first two stanzas express the singer’s desire for someone who understands them deeply, whom they can relate to on an intimate level. They acknowledge that there are times when the relationship feels incomplete, but that there is something special about their partner that they see like no one else can. This is reinforced by the line “you’re, you’re somethin’ else.”
The chorus is a declaration of love and appreciation for the singer’s partner, the “really lovely” person underneath it all. The singer acknowledges the other person’s flaws and shortcomings, but recognizes that they are trying to overcome them and become a better partner. The third stanza speaks to the longevity of their relationship, and the ways in which their flaws and strengths have been revealed over time. However, the singer notes that their partner makes them “better, better, better” and acknowledges the positive impact they have had on their life.
The final stanza speaks to the deep love and admiration the singer has for their partner, calling them their “real Prince Charming.” They note that there is another side to their partner, one that they adore, and that despite their temper, everything else feels secure. The song ends with a declaration of their love and appreciation for each other, acknowledging their flaws but also their undeniable connection and dependence on each other.
Line by Line Meaning
There's times when I want something more
There are occasions when I seek something beyond what I have
Someone more like me
Someone who is similar to me
There's times when this dress rehearsal
Seems incomplete, but
At times, this run-through feels inadequate,
You see the colors in me like no one else and
You are the only person who perceives the various facets of my personality
Behind your dark glasses
You're, you're somethin' else
You have an enigmatic and exceptional persona that lurks beneath the shades you wear
You're really lovely
(Underneath it all)
You are genuinely beautiful at your core
You want to love me
(Underneath it all)
You desire to love me with your whole heart
I'm really lucky
(Underneath it all)
I am fortunate for having you in my life
You know, some real bad tricks
And you need some discipline, but
You possess some undesirable characteristics that require attention, yet
Lately you've been tryin' real hard
And givin' me your best, and
You've lately been giving your utmost effort
You give me the most gorgeous sleep
That I ever had and
You provide me with the most beautiful sleep I've ever had
When it's really bad
I guess it's not that bad
When things are truly terrible, it's not as terrible as it seems
So many moons that we have seen
Stumblin' back next to me
We've been together for so many years, walking alongside each other
I've seen right through and underneath
And you make me better
I've looked beyond the superficial layer and found that you improve me as a person
You are my real Prince Charming
Like the heat from the fire
You were always burnin'
You are my true hero who ignites a spark within me
Anytime you're around
My body keeps callin'
For your touch
Whenever you're with me, my body yearns for your embrace
Your kisses and your sweet romancin'
There's another side to you
And it's a human I adore
Your affectionate kisses and charming dates are one part of you, but there's another human side to you that I cherish
Aside from your temper
Everything else secure
Apart from your occasional outbursts of anger, everything else is stable
You're good for me, baby
Of that, I'm a sure
Over and over again
I want more (more, more, more...)
You bring positivity in my life, and I am always sure of that. I never get enough of you and want more repeatedly.
You've used up all your coupons
And all you've got left is me
And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
I guess it's meant to be
You've exhausted all of your chances, and I'm the only one you have now. Surprisingly, I can forgive you easily, leading me to believe everything is destined to be like this.
