Over the past decade, Zig Zags from Los Angeles have gone through several transformations. Currently, founding member Jed Maheu is joined by Sean Hoffman and Jeff Murray—and together, they’ve got a new album ready to go. Deadbeat At Dawn (RidingEasy) is set for release on May 30.
The title track, released in advance, makes one thing clear: Zig Zags are still the tight, no-nonsense band we know. But their punk-infused metal has rarely sounded this accessible.
