The Zipheads + Shot Balowski + Itchee Teef

Hailing from the south-east of England (and New Zealand), this energetic 3-piece of guitar, double bass and drums play a mix of Rock’n’Roll, ska, rockabilly, country and reggae all infused with a frenetic punk energy.

These diverse influences have seen them open for a huge range of acts such as Soft Play, Don Broco, Reverend Horton Heat, Geno Washington, Neville Staple, The Selecter, Jim Jones, The Beat, Ruts DC, Anti-Nowhere League, Discharge, The Meteors, Guana Batz, Demented Are Go and many more.

To date they have released 2 full length LPs on the Bomber Music label (2013 & 2016), as well as a 7″ on Western Star Records (2015), a single in collaboration with the Joe Strummer Foundation (2020) and one self-released EP (2022) to critical acclaim. Their third album is expected in 2024, with the lead single being released Dec 1st 2023.

As of 2023, The Zipheads have toured across countless venues across the UK and mainland Europe, Scandanavia, the USA and Russia, and have performed at festivals such as Boomtown, Mighty Sounds in the Czech Republic as well as 2 consecutive appearances at Glastonbury Festival.
