Hailing from the Elgin in Scotland’s North East, the band have relocated to Glasgow for the past three years. Hayden Peace (vocals/guitar), Dan Oshanter (lead vocals/guitar), Max Robertson (bass), and Aiden Smith (drums) met at primary school and formed the band at the tail of end of secondary school.

Let’s see what they have been up to:
Breakthrough
Oshanter’s vocals lean into the American escapism of Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem) and Will Sheff (Okkeril River), setting this anthem ablaze.
There’s a beautiful naivete coursing through it. The kind that only hopeful, angst-ridden youthful desperation can carry. As Oshanter decrees, “It’s a lie that we’re ever getting old” the post-punk of Idlewild and the pop-punk of The Ataris unite in a glorious moment of teenage fantasy.
Killing Time
As playful as the Talking Heads and as defiant as The Fall, The Zebecks set off on a Modern Lovers adventure which all must follow! Robertson’s funk and Oshanter’s ability to toy with his cadence make The Zebecks the most creative art-rock band since Franz Ferdinand.
