Debut album "Taste The Blood Of Zombina & The Skeletones" was released in late 2002 and quickly sold out following gigs up and down the country with the likes of The Damned, The Misfits, and The Meteors.
In 2003 the band set up the finest glam/punk/rock 'n' roll club the Mersey area has ever seen - "Useless" happened every other Tuesday at the Zanzibar in Liverpool for almost 3 years before a change of name and venue saw new night "Zombie Hop" arrive (and then disappear soon after) at the Heaven & Hell club.
Late 2004 saw the release of debut single "I Was A Human Bomb For The F.B.I.", the first in a series of three limited edition 7" records which has now sold out. The "Mondo Zombina!" EP followed in July 2005, and gigs alongside Jayne County and Wednesday 13 in the UK as well as a short tour of Germany saw supplies of the second pressing of the album run out fast.
The final installment in the Zombina & The Skeletones 7" Trilogy - "Staci Stasis" - was released in November 2005 along with the third pressing of the debut album, with a new long player set for release in early 2006.

Zombina & The Skeletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if I start to be sick I will trust you,
You know what to do, you know what to do...
Clever, somehow I love you more than ever,
And if we can't be together, then I must admit that...
I don't wanna know. I don't wanna know.
Braindead, in my head right now.'
Braindead, you got me feelin' braindead,
Is it somethin' you said?
Or was it 'cause I said, 'I love you so', said, 'I love you so?'
Never, I can't leave you ever, an' if we can't be together,
Well... I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know!
Braindead, in my head now...
Braindead, in my head right now.
The lyrics of Zombina and the Skeletones's "Braindead" talk about the feelings of a person who is in love but is unsure of their partner's commitment. The singer seems to suffer from seasickness, which suggests a feeling of instability and uncertainty. However, they trust their partner to take care of them if they get sick. This shows that they have faith in their relationship despite the uncertainties.
The singer goes on to say that they love their partner more than ever, but they do not want to know what might happen if they cannot be together. This line suggests that the singer is afraid of the outcome if their relationship does not work out. This shows the vulnerability and insecurities of the singer. The chorus talks about how being around their partner makes them feel "braindead" and how they are not sure what caused the feeling. This line represents the confusion and overwhelming emotions that the singer experiences in the relationship.
