Pacing the floor at Punk’s birth in the 70s, releasing
2 singles, splitting up as it was overtaken by Ska and New Romantics in the 80s, and
re-forming due to European bootleg interest in 2002, The Zips are determined to make
up for lost time.
With 5 CD EPs on their own Tenement Toons label, The Zips released their debut
album, Guitars4Hire, in 2006 – 27 years after their debut single, The Zips ep, which
was a fave of the late John Peel, and copies of which, now fetch up to $427 on eBay!
Since then, The Zips have released 4 other albums,19 Forevva, Down With The Zips,
HUH!?, and the band retrospective, Archive Fever (Now-2002 / 1980-1978).
Along with regular appearances at Rebellion Festival, they have also played
throughout Europe, including, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland,
and Portugal.
As 2025 unfolds, The Zips continue with promotion of Archive Fever, including yet
again, Rebellion Festival in Blackpool in August, and the Hope and Anchor in London
in October.
The band have a reputation for rip-roaring performances, and are always in demand
on the live circuit, both in the UK, and throughout Europe.
