They decided to name their band ‘Standard Zebra’ as an ironic nod to their unique, unpredictable style, which is as far from standard as a zebra is from a horse. While they’ve experienced a few line-up changes, the band’s commitment to making quality music that challenges the norms remains unchanged.

“Black and White Stripes in a Grey World”
Full Song Lyrics:
Verse:
Am C G D
In a world that’s lost in shades of grey,
Am C G D
We paint our dreams with black and white.
Am C G D
Striving for the extraordinary,
Am C G
We are the Standard Zebras, right?
Chorus:
Am C G D
Black and white stripes in a grey world,
Am C G D
We won’t blend in, we’ll stand out.
Am C G D
Shout it loud, that we’re different,

We are the zebras, no doubt.
