 “Zzebra played a varied blend of Prog rock, jazz, African rhythms and fusion, performed by a outstanding lineup of musicians. The album ends with “La Si Si-La So So” roaring sax, driving electric piano and a killer guitar solo”

Aussie Byrd Brother, Prog Archives

“The title track kicks things off on a high note and almost picks up where “Hungry Horse” left off from the first album. The alternate mix of “Put A Light On Me” incudes a cameo from none other than six string legend JEFF BECK”

Ryan Sparks, Sea Of Tranquility

“Strange, adventurous and deeply groove-led, Panic sits somewhere between prog, fusion and dancefloor funk — a beautifully eccentric record from a moment when musical borders had almost disappeared.”

Jewels of Thought

Released to digital music sales sites from 23rd October 2026

ZZEBRA were at the forefront of mid-70’s Prog/Affro/Jazz/Rock/Funk and not surprisingly, being created by an amalgamation of two highly rated bands in IF and OSIBISA.

Add to that talent pool Liam Genockey, Steve Byrd and JOHN McCOY – all to later play in Gillan – and you had a driving and highly creative band.

Hard on the heels of self-titled debut, Panic was their second album, released in 1975 to critical acclaim.

Zzebra was a hard-working prog rock band, its improvisational nature coupled with the sheer power of the rhythm section allowing it to constantly experiment without losing the audience, as evidenced on further releases.
