Buried Tracks

Released in 2005, Buried Tracks serves as a bridge between the band's early success and their mid-2000s evolution. It is primarily a live collection, featuring performances from Seattle, Anaheim, and Birmingham recorded between 2000 and 2002. These tracks highlight the chemistry between the band's original lineup, specifically the interplay between Ali Tabatabaee's rapid-fire rap delivery and Justin Mauriello's melodic punk vocals. The Seattle tracks (1-3) are particularly notable for their clarity and intensity, representing the band at their commercial peak following the success of 'Playmate of the Year.' The inclusion of a demo version of 'Runaway' offers a historical look at the development of the 'MFZB' era. Critically, the EP is viewed as a fan-service release, providing high-quality versions of rarities and live staples that were previously difficult to find, cementing Zebrahead's reputation as a formidable live act in the rap-rock and pop-punk crossover genres.
