Zebraville was a band active in the 1980s, best known for their single "Only You." The song became a hit, though the group's time in the spotlight was relatively brief. They released a self-titled album in 1989 that blended rock, pop, and folk elements.
The band's lineup included John Wesley Harding on vocals and guitar, David Mansfield on guitar and mandolin, Bryan Garaghty on drums, and Larry Treadwell on bass. Their sound was shaped by these musicians' varied backgrounds, with Mansfield's folk and rock influences being particularly notable.
While "Only You" remains their most recognizable track, the band faced criticism at the time for being too commercial. They also dealt with personal issues among members, including struggles with addiction and mental health. After their initial success, they found it difficult to maintain momentum in the following years.
