Zebrahead recorded and released their fourth studio album, MFZB , in 2003; this was their last publication under Columbia Records. The album is noted for trading in the hip-hop funk elements of the band’s previous releases in favor of a heavier punk rock sound that would eventually carry over and develop in future releases. Zebrahead spent the majority of 2004 promoting the album at various festivals in Japan, including the Summer Sonic Festival . The band’s extensive touring earned them a sizeable fanbase in the country, leading MFZB to chart at No.9 on the Japanese Charts and earn a gold certification. A follow-up to MFZB titled Waste of MFZB – containing songs that didn’t make the final cut of the former – was released exclusively in Japan in July 2004 where it topped the Billboard Japan chart.
