ZEKE is an American hardcore punk band from Seattle, Washington, active since 1992. Their sound - blistering fast, raw, and rooted in Motörhead, the Ramones, and Black Flag - earned them the tag "godfathers of speedrock". Over three decades they have released six studio albums on Epitaph and Relapse Records, building their reputation above all through relentless live shows.
ZEKE are undertaking an extensive European summer tour in 2025 featuring the festivals Wacken Open Air, Brutal Assault in Jaroměř, and Punk Rock Holiday in Tolmin.
ZEKE released a new 7" EP Snake Eyes on the German label Hound Gawd! Records - the recording is not available on streaming platforms, only on vinyl.
The band undertook an extensive European autumn tour in 2024 with stops in Prague, Berlin, Munich, Milan, Barcelona, London, and other cities.
ZEKE returned to Australia for the first time in more than two decades - they undertook the tour together with Cosmic Psychos.
The band released the single Ride Hard Ride Free on Hound Gawd! Records, which marked the return of drummer Donny Paycheck to the lineup.
