Zombie Americana formed in Los Angeles with vocalist and guitarist Ryan Olson, bassist Jake Starr, and drummer Eric Olsen. Their 2016 debut album 'Bad Trip' established their sound, which pulls from rock, folk, and psychedelic elements. They followed it with 'Shadowlands' in 2018 and 'The Witching Hour' in 2021.
Their song 'Bad Trip' became something of an anthem for listeners who connected with its darker themes. Some critics have taken issue with the band's lyrics, but they've generally stuck to their own approach without much fuss.
They're still based in Los Angeles, working with the same core lineup. Their music tends to be atmospheric and a bit haunting, built around Olson's vocals and the group's layered instrumentation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
