Biography

West Coast thrashers Zeke establishes a nasty disposition while cutting teeth on their own brash hardcore punk. A foursome since 1993, Zeke has released a handful of EPs and full-lengths through Wrecking Ball Records and IFA Records, but inked a deal with Epitaph in 1998. Kicked in the Teeth came up from the vaults to be issued that same year, with Dirty Sanchez following in early 2000. They have also toured with the likes of ALL, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Supersuckers, and Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Zeke (pronounced /ˈziːk/) is an American hardcore punk band from Seattle, Washington. They are known for their extremely high-powered, driving guitar sound mixed with blues-rock influences, and are therefore sometimes compared to Motörhead.[1][2] Zeke released their first single, "West Seattle Acid Party", in 1993; after several album releases on indie label Scooch Pooch Records, they signed with Epitaph in 1998. They are currently signed to Relapse Records.

The song "Death Alley" was on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, the song "Long Train Runnin'" appeared on Tony Hawk's Underground 2, and "Kill the King" recently appeared on Tony Hawk's Project 8. Zeke recently appeared on the Project Gotham Racing Xbox 360 soundtrack.

Zeke released a digital EP entitled Kings of the Highway in 2007. It includes the tracks "Lords of the Highway", "Kings and Queens" and "Hay Bailer", as well as a cover of GG Allin's "Die When You Die".

Members of the bands Napalm Death,[3] Voivod, and Fear Factory, as well as musicians Hank III and Duff McKagan, have been seen and photographed wearing Zeke t-shirts.
