Records. In 2022, ZEKE was unexpectedly reborn with founding members Blind Marky Felchtone (vox\/guitar) and Donny Paycheck (drums) returning to the drum kit. They went into the studio with Jason Freeman (bass) and Jeff Hiatt (guitar), they were with ZEKE before and got back in, to record a new album. The first single &#8220;Ride Hard Ride Free&#8221; is everything you&#8217;ve come to expect &#8211; or want to hear from ZEKE. A full-on thrasher celebrating speed in more ways than one, &#8220;Ride Hard Ride Free&#8221; has a very sharp style, with the band takes cues from old Mot\u00f6rhead riffs, then fusing it with hardcore punk roughage. A modern ZEKE classic. They tie in here stylistically with &#8220;Death Alley&#8221;. Produced by Jeff McNulty (Screamers, Bl\u00f6\u00f6dhag, Hell Bent For Letters) at Soundhouse in Seattle, WA, and mastered by Joe Bozzi at Bernie Grundmann in Los Angeles. The tracks are not available on Spotify, Apple Music and other digital platforms. ZEKE recently completed a successful West Coast tour.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-724x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-724x1024.png 724w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-212x300.png 212w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-768x1087.png 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-1447x2048.png 1447w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ZEKE-EUROPEAN-TOUR-2023-no2-print-proof-copy-1140x1613.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The band return to Europe for the following dates with The Hip Priests supporting at all UK dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dates: 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 20 &#8211; UK &#8211; Bristol Exchange (with The Hip Priests)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 21 &#8211; UK &#8211; Huddersfield Parish (with The Hip Priests)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 22 &#8211; UK &#8211; London New Cross Inn (with The Hip Priests)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 23 &#8211; NL &#8211; Groningen Vera Groningen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 24 &#8211; NL &#8211; Utrecht dB&#8217;s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 25 &#8211; DE &#8211; K\u00f6ln Sonic Ballroom K\u00f6ln<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 27 &#8211; DE -Regensburg Kulturzentrum Alte M\u00e4lzerei<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 28 &#8211; DE &#8211; Stuttgart Goldmark&#8217;s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 29 &#8211; DE &#8211; Neunkirchen Stummsche Reithalle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jun 30 &#8211; NL &#8211; Eindhoven Effenaar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 01 &#8211; NL &#8211; Deventer Burgerweeshuis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 02 &#8211; NL &#8211; Emmen Pitfest<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 03 &#8211; DE &#8211; D\u00fcsseldorf Pitcher &#8211; Rock&#8217;n&#8217;Roll Headquarter D\u00fcsseldorf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 04 &#8211; DE &#8211; Hamburg Knust Hamburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 05 &#8211; DE &#8211; Berlin RESET &#8211; Live Club Berlin Kreuzberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 06 &#8211; DE &#8211; Dortmund Hafensch\u00e4nke subrosa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 07 &#8211; DE &#8211; Kassel Goldgrube Kassel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 08 &#8211; BE &#8211; Gierle SJOCK Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 10 &#8211; DE &#8211; M\u00fcnchen Backstage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 11 &#8211; IT &#8211; Bologna Freakout Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 12 &#8211; IT &#8211; Torino BLAH BLAH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 14 &#8211; ES &#8211; Barcelona Sala Upload<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jul 15 &#8211; ES &#8211; Madrid Gruta 77<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Current Line Up: Blind Marky Felchtone &#8211; Guitar and Vocals, Donny Paycheck &#8211; Drums, Jason Freeman &#8211; Bass, Jeff Hiatt &#8211; Guitar and Vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Online:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/zekeyou.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">zekeyou.com<\/a> \/\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/zekeband\" target=\"_blank\">facebook.com\/zekeband<\/a> \/\u00a0instagram @zekeband<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short, fast, loud, ZEKE!&nbsp; Seattle punk legends Zeke recently returned with a new single &#8220;Ride Hard Ride Free&#8221; featuring ZEKE&#8217;s signature mix of turbo-charged thrash-punk and Mot\u00f6rhead possessed rock n&#8217; roll and provides the first taste of ZEKE\u2019s new album, which will be released later this year via Hound Gawd!
