January 14, 2025ZOMBINA AND THE SKELETONES Release New Single ‘No Wonder I’m Always Anxious’
Following a much-coveted recent mention on Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Merseyside horror punks Zombina and The Skeletones are pleased to reveal their final single of the year, with an official video for ‘No Wonder I’m Always Anxious’ set for release on Friday 13th December 2024 on all good digital service providers.
The track is the latest to be taken from their new album The Call of Zombina, which is also out now on local independent imprint 9x9 Records.
The album is available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats, with a very limited edition box set already sold out.
A stomping, orchestral, and beautifully epic closing sentiment from the album, the new single is all about the never ending cycle of waking anxiety into weird nightmares and back again—the nightmares feeding the anxiety, the anxiety feeding the nightmares. Everybody has been there.
The b-side is an entirely new track with a nice christmassy feel. “It’s called ‘Snowflake’ and it’s superficially about being bitten by a Yeti and slowly turning into a Yeti,” explain the band, “but it’s low-key more about wanting to hibernate through this hideous winter. It’s danceable, grungy and full of cold winds.”
Following a monstrously successful launch show at Rough Trade Liverpool, plus appearances at The Unskinny Bop Zombie Hop and Psychobilly Freakout 2024, the band have just announced a clutch of festival appearances for 2025 (see below for listings).
Six deformed rock’n’roll monsters from Liverpool, England, local heroes Zombina and the Skeletones have been mixing garage punk and girl-group pop with spooked out surf-a-billy sonics since 1998, after founding members Zombina and Doc Horror met at a high school Halloween party and fell into a teenage romance.
They’ve shared stages with Shonen Knife, The Horrors, GWAR, Wednesday 13, The Damned, The Meteors andThe Misfits (to name but a few), and have been invited to drag their blood-spattered live show as far out as Finland, Sicily, Greece and the Czech Republic.
Zombina’s music has also been featured in the TROMAmovies Shakespeare’s Shitstorm and Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead, and most recently in the Halloween special episode of Extraordinary on Disney+.
New album The Call Of Zombina is out now on 9x9 Records
