Zeke - Ride Hard Ride Free

Short, fast, loud, ZEKE! New single "Ride Hard Ride Free" due out June 9! Limited Edition!Seattle punk legends ZEKE return with the first new recordings in over 4 years. "Ride Hard Ride Free" contains two tracks laced with ZEKE's signature mix of turbo-charged thrash-punk and Motörhead possessed rock n' roll and provides the first taste of ZEKE's new album, which will be released later this year. The record drops June 9, 2023. In 2022, ZEKE was unexpectedly reborn with founding members Blind Marky Felchtone (vox/guitar) and Donny Paycheck (drums) returning to the drum kit after 18 years. They went into the studio with Jason Freeman (bass) and Jeff Hiatt (guitar), they were with ZEKE before and got back in, to record a new album. The first single "Ride Hard Ride Free" is everything you've come to expect - or want to hear from ZEKE. A full-on thrasher celebrating speed in more ways than one, "Ride Hard Ride Free" has a very sharp style, with the band takes cues from old Motörhead rlffs, then fusing it with hardcore punk roughage. A modern ZEKE classic. They tie in here stylistically with "Death Alley". Produced by Jeff McNulty (Screamers, Blöödhag, Hell Bent For Letters) at Soundhouse in Seattle, WA, and mastered by Joe Bozzi at Bernie Grundmann in Los Angeles, CA Cover photo by Mike Mitchell. The tracks are not available on Spotify, Apple Music and other digital platforms. ZEKE recently completed a successful West Coast tour. The band also has a number of high-profile European performances scheduled in the coming months, including Sjock Festival in Belgium and appearances at Pitfest in the Netherlands and Sardina Fest in Spain. The group will return to America later this year. Ride with ZEKE!- Zeke are the dive bar that's survived onslaughts of gentrification, knowing that the charm of lawless riffing and broken bottles never fades. - PichforkTRACKLIST: Side A: Smokestack Lightning (2:18)Side B: Ride Hard Ride Free (3:01)KEY SELLING POINTS: - Limited Vinyl Single - Donny Paycheck back on drums after 18 years- First new recordings after 4 years- Supported by EU and US tour dates- New album is announced for later in 2023LINKS: Homepage: https://zekeyou. comFacebook: https://www.
