Founded in New Orleans (and moved to New York), Zebra nonetheless is stylistically similar to Canadian power trios Rush and Triumph, with the wailing vocals, virtuoso guitar, and progressive blues-metal feel.

The band’s first two albums received significant airplay on AOR stations in the 1980s, with several songs remaining popular to this day…as is the band, who still perform regularly, having had only one short break(up) in their entire lifespan.
